Summary The goal of this project is to learn about the economic and social consequences of a fully mechanized manufacturing industry. It explores the mobility of employment and how the labor landscape (highly skilled, skilled, and unskilled) would change. The project looks on effects in GDP and GDP per capita. The project includes particular effects in society – good or bad. It explores new opportunities that rising technology may deliver. It will explore the challenges that automation can cause, such as job loss and demoralization. Addressing this issue, we will also explore ways on how to help the people harmed by the new technology. This paper is designed to use economic analysis to explore society’s behavior in times of great technological leaps and how economic policies can regulate the economy during technological boom. Fully mechanizing manufacturing in America will contribute to a new era of technological and economic development. This growth will yield new opportunities for the generations to come. However, challenges during the transitory period can be difficult to handle without proper regulation made by the government and cooperation of the people.
