That's right. Also the goal in some areas of manufacturing is to have the factory run all night with nobody there to tend the robots. In the 90's one unskilled worker could handle the operation of six robots in electronics manufacturing. I'm sure today it's much less and will be less of an opportunity for future employment.


One team of software developers can handle the requirements of hundreds or thousands of robots with upgrades maybe every few months - not a very large source of work. The software they develop will be very user friendly for unskilled workers.

In 2014 there were 326,600 jobs for programmers.

Employment of computer programmers is projected to decline 8 percent from 2014 to 2024. Computer programming can be done from anywhere in the world, so companies sometimes hire programmers in countries where wages are lower.
