The days of Henry Ford assembly lines are done. Its all lean manufacturing and only build what you need. Yes in the short term (3-6 months) it cost more on certain machines and setups, but in the long term (1-2 years) it saves the business a lot more than it lost on the short term side.
The comment that if the manufacturing industries come back that the laborers on the floor will be a smaller part. I disagree with this as I have seen this system more times than I can count.
Example:
Yes there will be less welders as there will be more automated production lines (robots). These welders usually turn into to set up operators as they still need people to set up and run these machines. They will need programmers to program the automated lines. And they will need different types of maintenance professionals to maintain these new machines.
There will be about the same amount of jobs, just in different areas than they were 50 years ago. 50 years ago you never heard of an IT department, now everyone has one. There were no software programmers and now its a must. Times change and so doesn't the job description, the work will be there if the people choose to work and educate themselves.
50 years ago you did not have robot milkers and now there are a lot of them out there. There are also high tech service guys out there to repair them instead of milking a cow.
Yes we will always need welders, fitters, electricians, plumbers, etc., but there are many new jobs that were no where's 50 years ago that we have now.
Automated lines (robots) don't take lunches or breaks, don't take a 20 minute poop right before lunch, they don't stop and BS with their buddy's, and by all means they are not commenting on internet forms like I am right now.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
