SCMP reports on May 21 that Kunshan, in Jiangsu province, undergoes makeover as 600 companies look to trim their headcount. The Foxconn factory has reduced its employee strength from 110,000 to 50,000, thanks to the introduction of robots.
But its even more interesting which reader comments a report of this SCMP article triggered on digitaltrends, an US technology news platform. Americans seem to be more aware that a disruption of the labor market is laying ahead.
