As employers in different parts of the world are looking for different ways to fill labor gaps, many of them are increasingly moving towards assisting automated technology and robots.

Orientation to automated technology is nothing new, and this type of technology is a lifeline for many companies that do not meet their workforce goals, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Orders for the purchase of robots have increased by 40% in the first four months of 2022, while in 2021 there was an increase of 21%, based on the statements of the Association for the Advancement of Automation, these requirements which raise the robotics industry at a value of $ 1.6 billion.

“Company leaders want to lay off the workforce,” David Zapico, chief executive of Amatek Ink, told Bloomberg last November, noting that the auto equipment company has “turned on all the turbines” so that meet customer requirements.

Robots are offering a temporary solution for businesses that are facing employment in the smallest labor market since the end of World War II, a pandemic-stricken market, the highest rate of layoffs and the major disruption of economy.

In March, vacancies in the US reached record levels, with 11.5 vacancies, while experts have predicted that the labor crisis could last for several years.
