A new study found a link between automation of U.S. manufacturing and an increased mortality rate among working-class adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automation is partially responsible for a decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs. Prior research has estimated a loss of 420,000 to 750,000 jobs during the 1990s and 2000s, most of which were manufacturing jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor decades, manufacturers in the United States have turned to automation to remain competitive in a global marketplace, but this technological innovation has reduced the number of quality jobs available to adults without a college degree \u2014 a group that has faced increased mortality in recent years,\u201d says lead author Rourke O\u2019Brien, assistant professor of sociology in Yale\u2019s Faculty of Arts and Sciences in a\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/944524\" target=\"_blank\">media release<\/a>. \u201cOur analysis shows that automation exacts a toll on the health of individuals both directly \u2014 by reducing employment, wages, and access to healthcare \u2014 as well as indirectly, by reducing the economic vitality of the broader community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ click to continue reading at Study Finds ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from Study Finds Death by robots?
