I'm in Houston. A "manual" machinist (non-CNC) working in my factory in 1980 could make $25 per hour. In 2020, I was still paying the same machinist $25 an hour nominally, except now he operates a CNC machinist and is vastly more productive. However, his productivity gains have been competed away both domestically and by oversees manufacturing, and via boom and bust cycles in the oil patch that reset wages. |
