Employment expert discusses breaking new study which spells disaster for manufacturing employees<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Robot\"A new study<\/a> from analysis firm Oxford Economics predicts that by 2030, over 20 million workers in the manufacturing industry will lose their jobs to robots.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs machines become cheaper to build and artificial intelligence technology becomes more comprehensive and affordable, many industries are going to become robot-centric,\u201d says Rob Wilson. \u201cJust look at the automotive industry: Starting in the 1980s, companies were spending billions of dollars to create robots to perform basic tasks in their automobile factories. Now, 43 percent of the world\u2019s robots are used by the automotive industry. We should expect to see a similar trend in manufacturing as well, although the good news is that robots create jobs in some fields even as they take them away in others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson cautions that battles over minimum wage could increase the application of artificial intelligence in some industries, especially as it relates to entry-level, unskilled work.<\/p>\n

\u201cFindings show that fast-food workers could be at serious risk of losing their jobs to robots in the next several years. One study found that each new robot added per 1,000 workers causes wages to drop in the surrounding area by around 0.25 and 0.5 percent,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cWe can clearly see that in specific industries, the impact of automation can not only impact job numbers, but also a worker\u2019s wages.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wilson says as changes to healthcare, overtime and wages continue to be debated in the presidential race and beyond, employers are becoming more attracted to a non-human workforce.<\/p>\n

“Robots don’t need raises,” he says. “They don’t need healthcare or sick days. For employers who are looking down the barrel of ever-increasing business costs, robots are a cost-saving option in the long-run.”<\/p>\n

The employment trends expert also points to research which links higher wages to lower overall income for workers, including a study which highlighted the fact that Seattle workers<\/a> lost $129 a month on average after the city’s minimum wage<\/a> was increased to $15.<\/p>\n

“Higher wages sound like a boon for employees, until you realize that employers simply cannot keep pace with these increased costs,” says Wilson. “As a result, they cut staff, limit hours…and consider new technology like automation to replace workers. This is just the beginning of a new trend which could lead millions to end up out of work.”<\/p>\n

However, Wilson assures Americans that automation is far from a death knell for the economy. \u201cYes, automation is going to change the economic landscape, but it\u2019s not going to turn the country into a dystopia run by robots. However, workers do need to make sure that they diversify their skills and become adept in many different functions, as robots (such as the automated burger flippers in fast-food joints) have limited abilities. It\u2019s no longer enough just to show up and do your daily duties. A worker has to be engaged, present and connected to their fellow workers and their customers, as this human connection is something that a robot can never achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n
