Good jobs

As manufacturing jobs come back to America, some think it will be like the 50’s when workers were tied to machines but this time it will be different. The new factory jobs will require the operator to control the machine not just do repetitive task. An example of a step in that direction is an auto assembly plant. Workers fit components together using hand tools and robotic welders. They operate presses to shape metal sheet and control spray painting equipment. They ensure quality using digital readouts and manual inspections. One million auto workers produce 10 million cars. It is a tribute to the industry that one person can make ten cars per year. The new plants will use the next generation of technology where workers will be more skilled and higher paid. The construction of these new facilities will require trades people and many Gen Xers are getting trained to fill these jobs. The country is undergoing a major shift in how young people will be trained and what kind of work they will perform. The shift is the return of manufacturing jobs to America.
