interestingly, the most intense clusters of robots are in Michigan, Delaware and Texas.
by contrast, there's not so much robotic clustering in California.
also, this optimistic note: Some of the sectors with the biggest job losses were ones that didn't automate intensively, like textiles and paper products. That goes to show that keeping out robots won't necessarily protect your job.

- coredog64 10y agoHow much manufacturing happens in California? Of that manufacturing, how much has been started in the last 20 years, and how much is left over from when the regulatory regime was more friendly to manufacturing?
- neuromantik8086 10y agoIt makes sense to me. Historically, a lot of America's manufacturing has been either around the Great Lakes (i.e., the Rust Belt) or the mid-Atlantic / Georgia (i.e., where manufacturing went after those states were able to undercut the Northeast / midwest on labor costs). I've never really thought of California as a major manufacturing hub.
