This weekend, the new Ford Mustang was revealed as an all-electric vehicle. While electric cars are rapidly increasing in popularity due to their lack of direct emissions, analysts predict that their adoption will have a negative impact on autoworkers. The production of these vehicles requires much less manpower due to their straightforward design. Additionally, most of the parts required for the manufacture of these cars are produced overseas. As vehicle assembly is simplified, less labor and skill will be required to manufacture cars.
