Would a lot of robotics jobs go to where the factories are, according to the popular narrative during the campaign, in China? I don't know how to check this.

Also, it's not just robotics but machinery - the coal mining jobs in Appalachia disappeared to lessened demand but the number of jobs would have gone down severely in any case due to mechanization made possible by mountain top removal. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/10/coal-countrys-decline-has-a-long-history/453144/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/10/coal-co...
- ZeroGravitas 10y agoCoal demand rose for most of the last 100 years, only recently peaking, jobs declined over most of that. Automation and moving to surface mining (probably because it was more automatible so basically "automation") account for most of that change.
