In the US, automation is growing explosively. When factories 'come back to the USA' from India or China or wherever, its not because they're paying enough to attract Americans; its because they automated and don't need (hardly) anybody.

Further, bank teller and fast-food worker are the next to be automated away. Its happening everywhere, with touch-panel counter service.
