Reply to comment by mipacu427 in Apple will begin sourcing chips from a plant in Arizona and from Europe in a major supply chain shift away from China, CEO Tim Cook told employees by flyingdutchgirll
"More jobs in shipping these products to the rest of the world than building them these days."
Maintaining a series of machines is a lot less laborious. My example in the sony factory, there are only 4 employees that handle those roles. Compared to the 1,000s that you would expect. There's just not a lot of roles to carry on.
Think about the PS2, that required chip designers(Which is now AMD outsourced), more marketers, every part of the supply chain was larger included used games sales. Sony had 2x the employees in 2009 than it did in 2022. And half the revenue.
