Lots of folks will get fired.

Who will do the work?

For minimum wage jobs?
Fewer people and more automation.

Where I work we are already making changes to the “less skilled” jobs.

Instead of having 5 people we only have 3, they get between 5 to 10 hours a week of OT, but that is much cheaper than carrying 2 people making between 13/15 dollars an hour plus benefits.

Our new owners are looking at getting a “parts picker” system to work in our finished goods area.
If they go through with it, then that is one less person employed.

It will cascade up and down the line.
