In January of this year, 628,000 warehouse and transportation jobs were unfilled, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's an increase of nearly 100,000 open jobs from January 2022. “We’ll need less humans to do certain jobs, but those are the jobs that humans don’t want to do," says Mark Yoss, who teaches advanced manufacturing at Metropolitan State University Denver. Yoss believes people should look at robots as a way to fill a gap instead of a threat to the human workforce. A recent survey found the manufacturing industry could be short more than 2 million jobs in the next decade.
