Technology Review has an interesting infographic on the Rising Use of Robots, and which sectors show the biggest increase in use.
I broke up the infographic into a series of smaller ones for purposes of discussion, adding red, blue, and purple colored boxes in the following chart.
Robot Usage Since 2009
In Europe, except Germany, robot usage is up and employment down.
In the US, South Korea, and Germany, robot usage is up and so is human employment.
In Japan robot usage and employment are both down.
Japan did not even benefit from a falling Yen.
