Three $150k robots replaced 60 welders: how Cox Industries keeps making mowers in Queensland

Yes and tell me why we need to import more low-skilled laborers into the country? Robotization of jobs is the wave of the future. Even in countries like India manufacturers and service providers are replacing workers with robots more and more everyday. Any new blue collar jobs for humans will likely be in maintaining and supervising robots. Even a lot of white collar jobs are going to disappear because the systems will be automated. For example, when you buy and airplane ticket and reserve a hotel room for a trip now do you call up a travel agent or do you go online to a website?

Ride-on lawn mower manufacturer Cox Industries might only employ 60 people today from 160 a decade ago, and has suffered three break-even years because it hasn’t rained enough, but co-owner Ken McColl says the Australian economy still can’t afford businesses like his to disappear.
