Robotics Industry Fueling Job Growth

Tech­no­log­i­cal advance­ments tend to be accom­pa­nied by dooms­day cries and skep­ti­cism. This is def­i­nite­ly true for robot­ics. Many see the use of robot­ics as a threat to every job imag­in­able, espe­cial­ly those in the man­u­fac­tur­ing sector.

The real­i­ty is more com­pli­cat­ed and thank­ful­ly, much more pos­i­tive in nature. Con­trary to pop­u­lar belief, robots are actu­al­ly respon­si­ble for cre­at­ing jobs and improv­ing job qual­i­ty. It’s time we start­ed see­ing the robot­ics indus­try for what it is — an oppor­tu­ni­ty, not a threat.

Robot Indus­try Adding New Jobs:
The robot­ics indus­try itself is often over­looked as a job provider. Robot man­u­fac­tur­ing com­pa­nies, robot­ic sys­tem inte­gra­tors, as well as busi­ness­es that use robots, are cre­at­ing new job oppor­tu­ni­ties. Many of these new jobs are tech­ni­cal in nature. These include mechan­i­cal and elec­tri­cal engi­neers, com­put­er soft­ware devel­op­ers, tech­ni­cians and elec­tri­cians, tech sup­port, train­ing per­son­nel, and main­te­nance staff mem­bers.

But not every robot­ics job requires an engi­neer­ing degree. Oth­er, less tech­ni­cal jobs cre­at­ed by the robot indus­try include man­age­ment, admin­is­tra­tive, sales, mar­ket­ing, and many oth­er posi­tions.

Increased Pro­duc­tiv­i­ty Leads to Job Cre­ation:
The robot­ics indus­try, just like every tech­nol­o­gy that has pre­ced­ed it, is chang­ing the way work is accom­plished and the types of jobs that are avail­able. Robots pro­vide a way for com­pa­nies to increase pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, safe­ty, and qual­i­ty while remain­ing com­pet­i­tive. This pro­duc­tiv­i­ty leads to job cre­ation, be it cus­tomer ser­vice (sales, admin­is­tra­tive sup­port) or tech­nol­o­gy-relat­ed (pro­gram­mers, operators). 

Over­all, the robot­ics indus­try is cre­at­ing more job oppor­tu­ni­ties for bet­ter pay­ing jobs while keep­ing com­pa­nies in their home land.
