What were the effects of the plague on the social fabric?

Question

During the black death in Florence fabrics were affected by the plague in what way

Answer 1

It left a terrible stain that was hard to get out? Or it decimated most of the work force thus slowing production.

Answer 2

It was actually very positive to society in the long run. It made social change and mobility easier, so that people who survived nearly always improved their social position.

With a smaller workforce, poor people had more bargaining power, which led to higher wages.

We wouldn't have the Renaissance without the Black Death.
