The US consistently increases its manufacturing output through improved automation. US workers are also significantly more productive than other countries', though US labor costs often cancel that advantage.
- hintymad 4y ago> US workers are also significantly more productive than other countries I certainly hope so. Is it true, though? Obama's documentary, American Factory, says that Chinese workers are more efficient than their US counterparts. I also read somewhere that the average age of workers in shipyards were 55 years, IIRC, and it's harder to find qualified workers who can build heavy machineries in the US than in China, partly because the manufacturing sector shrank so much in the US.
