Agreed. Nobody will hire more people than they need.
(If and when our govt permits the American economy to turn around and start growing again, there will be more factories... and even if automated, as most will be, to be sure, that will still create some more jobs for people.)
Agree. This is a growth issue and the government is standing in the way. Couple that with very cheap nat gas and factory conversions to nat gas and we could very well see a manufacturing renaissance.
