I worked for a number of years in an automotive plant that had all of those roles on site. Those skilled roles made up around 20% of the jobs. The other 80% were people getting paid poorly to do the same 2-3 tasks for 8-10 hours per day like a living robot.
I felt sorry for those people spending 20-30 years of their lives 5-6 days a week doing boring, repetitive tasks that permanently damage their bodies to the point where their retirement isn't going to involve any physical activity like golf or pickleball.
It's a shame people are somehow being fooled into thinking that factory jobs are the ones we should want more of. We need more jobs that utilize modern technologies, biotechnology is something that we're falling very far behind on is one example.
