Manufacturing jobs in the US finally increasing

[Islandman]

First in a long time that there is a net migration of manufacturing jobs to the US.

The U.S. saw a net migration of at least 10,000 manufacturing jobs back to the country this past year, according to the Reshoring Initiative.

The group's annual data report for 2014 said more than 60,000 manufacturing positions either returned to the U.S. from overseas or stemmed from foreign direct investment. Estimates showed between 30,000 and 50,000 American jobs were transferred overseas last year.

However these are not the 1950s-era assembly line jobs of old. These are mostly highly skilled jobs due to increased automation. These skills are in high demand...

As industrial robots become smarter, faster, more affordable, and develop advanced capabilities such as sensing, dexterity, memory and trainability, industrial manufacturers across industries are looking to advanced robotics to gain a competitive business advantage, according to a report released today by PwC US in conjunction with The Manufacturing Institute. .........barriers to adoption still exist due to limitations such as cost, the lack of perceived need, and access to expertise and skills.

Ooops... every day more n more evidence illustrates the visionary brilliance of our Robotics/STEM movement

Pity that even now... in our 6th year of the Digital Yard effort....all now most people don't "get it"

Still just nuff YAPPIN....with an asinine focus on defective constructs like CXC standardized tests
