Apple and Samsung supplier Foxconn has let go of some 60,000 workers and replaced them with robots, according to reports. According to a government official quoted in the South China Morning Post, one of the factories run by the contract electronics manufacturer reduced its employee count from 110,000 to 50,000. In a statement sent to the BBC, Foxconn played down the job-loss aspect of the story by making it sound as though employees would be liberated to do less menial work, rather than be out of work, thanks to the introduction of robots.
