Deindustrialization was going to happen no matter what. And even then, eventually automation would become a problem, which it is. Like I said there are more factories in the US today than 30 years ago. They only employ 1/3 the work force though because technology has improved so much and that number is only going to become more lop sided. Manufacturing is never coming back. No politican has the balls to publicly say this though. People who think they have a steady manufacturing job waiting for them for the next 10-20+ years need to wake up, it's the 21st century now and shit has changed. They're already prepping for self driving trucks in the US for example ... if trucks become automated, trucking is one of the last "big" blue collar jobs left. You walk into a McDonalds today and they employ maybe 1/2 the amount of workers as they did a decade ago because you can order on touchscreen kiosks now. Everything is changing. |
Yeah it was also one of the reasons why I was not pro trump economic wise atleast.
I mean this graph says enough:
The difference between before is that more and more companies are working on robotics/Automatisation and so on.
off shore is rather a small reason that jobs get lost, it is mindblowing to see that Apple made their mac's factory back in Texas Austin and it created less than 100 jobs. We are basically at the beginning of a new machine age I wonder what is going to happen.
