Manpower will always cost less that a robot, no matter in what time, we are easily to replace and even use. Quality of work do no matter, quantity can be but still you need people to buy your shit, no manpower no economy.

Universal Robots offers robot arms for a couple of thousand bucks. Much cheaper than human labor.
