Pink slip joke being funny and all, the truth is that the use of faster PCB manufacturing technology in most cases will result in the need to hire MORE workers. The process is largely as automated as possible in most facilities, so increasing the speed of the mechanical line will necessitate the speed of the human line to keep pace; thus you'll have more people placing large parts like cpu/ram sockets and testing finished components in order to keep pace with the robots.

Sorry it's anticlimactic.
