New factories use very few people, part of the reason why it's difficult for many countries to industrialize like South Korea or China did (climbing manufacturing ladder).

> New factories use very few people
That's both true and false. Yes they need very few people to operate, but building and maintaining still need a lot of people.
They need fewer people to build and to maintain than older ones did. Further the jobs from building the factory are temporary.
