本文记录了工厂级别的工资，职业组合，劳动力教育和生产率如何随着采用和使用新的工厂自动化技术（如可编程控制器，计算机自动化设计和数控机床）而变化。我们的横截面结果表明，使用大量新技术的工厂雇用更多受过教育的工人，雇用相对更多的管理人员，专业人员和精密工艺工人，并支付更高的工资。然而，我们的纵向分析表明，技能升级和采用新技术之间的相关性很小。看来，采用新的工厂自动化技术的工厂在采用前和采用后都拥有更熟练的劳动力。
This paper documents how plant-level wages, occupational mix, workforce education, and productivity vary with the adoption and use of new factory automation technologies such as programmable controllers, computer-automated design, and numerically controlled machines. Our cross-sectional results show that plants that use a large number of new technologies employ more educated workers, employ relatively more managers, professionals, and precision-craft workers, and pay higher wages. However, our longitudinal analysis shows little correlation between skill upgrading and the adoption of new technologies. It appears that plants that adopt new factory automation technologies have more skilled workforces both pre- and postadoption.
