When Amazon bought the Kiva company with its warehouse robots in 2012, CEO Jeff Bezos made the unusual decision to keep the machines in-house and not support Kiva’s existing customers . That decision created a market for similar machines, and engineers got to work on inventing comparable robots that could perform warehouse-type tasks of pulling items from shelves and assembling them for shipment.

Now we see one of the new warehouse robots, and the inVia model is capable of picking an item off a shelf and plunking it into a box for eventual shipment.

Plus the report says the machine will end those “tedious” jobs that humans suffer with to get their paychecks.

In fact, the government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics listed the 2015 number of stock clerks and order fillers at 60,670. This is how jobs are disappearing — a few at a time as a warehouse operator rents some robots to increase efficiency, cut costs and work 24 hours.

The “tedious” job of warehouse order filler is decent-paying for low-skilled employment, around $30,000. It’s the kind of job an immigrant might take.

So maybe America doesn’t need so many immigrants…
