☆ US factories are booming, but finding workers is still a struggle

Despite that huge jump in manufacturing construction, employment in the sector has been stagnant over the last year, suggesting filling the new factories with workers could be difficult. Notably, other advanced economies have not experienced such surges in manufacturing construction, according to the Treasury Department. Since President Joe Biden took office, around 800,000 manufacturing jobs were added, or a 6.5% growth rate. This year has seen manufacturing employment remain especially stagnant, growing by just around 4,000 employees since January. Though many of the 1.4 million manufacturing jobs lost at the beginning of the pandemic have been recovered, many economists are worried all these new factories across the country could struggle to find enough workers.

☆ As the world gets hotter, millions of workers face up to the challenge of heat stress and productivity losses

According to those involved in the report's production, warmer working environments can create some very challenging scenarios indeed. Issues relating to productivity also apply to equipment, facilities and buildings, Fox said. "The economic losses due to heat stress at work were estimated at US$280 billion in 1995," the U.N. agency said. "This clothing can be quite cumbersome … and quite hot to wear, even under cold conditions," Fox said. Fox noted that buildings of this type haven't particularly been designed with heat ingress — especially extreme heat ingress — in mind.

☆ A robot named Baxter wanted to change the world of work, but his career ended early

Rethink Robotics was founded in 2008 with the idea that a cobot — a robot working alongside humans in ways that traditional automation couldn't (i.e. "There is no such thing as the cobot without Rod Brooks," Beane said. "No one needs a two-armed robot," Beane said, describing that design decision as "humans projecting onto a robot their own physical form." The opportunity for robotics technology remains significant, though it is still trailing other automation approaches in market penetration. "Manufacturing is about high throughput and high consistency and you can automate the heck out of it without a cobot," Beane said.
