Maybe fewer jobs per square feet, but it's the natural evolution of manufacturing. What matters is we need engineers and workers on the floor so we can innovate and develop more senior talent.

- g9yuayon 3y agoWhy? More jobs are still more jobs, no? In addition, each factories may hire fewer people than 50 years ago, but I hope we have a lot more factories. Having more skillful talent does not contradict my hoping that more Americans will have chance to get a decent job.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoIt's just so immaterial to US job health. We have around the same factory employment today as in 1945. Despite growing population by more than 2X. 13M mostly non-skilled. Maybe 5%
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoWe need a percent of the workers we remember being in a factory. Not enough to even count factory jobs as a significant sector of our economy.
