It's the ultimate paradox: Americans love the idea of bringing back more manufacturing, but they're not interested in the jobs that come with it! Currently, an estimated 500,000 manufacturing roles sit empty, and projections show potentially 2.5 million unfilled jobs in five years. It's time for Ed and Alvaro to step in and explain what's really happening on today's factory floors.
Forget the grim, dirty workplaces of yesterday—cobots, AI, and smart technology are transforming manufacturing careers. But it's not perfect. Using concepts like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the guys show how factories have improved basic safety but must reach higher for true worker engagement.
Whether you're already in manufacturing or just curious about its evolution, Ed and Alvaro reveal the genuine opportunities hiding behind outdated stereotypes.
