Good news!
Since streamlined workflows have been the norm for some time now, it looks like the overall sales/order processing cycle has been streamlined–thus reducing the need for employees–while the production side is experiencing employment growth.
According to Dr. Joe Webb, since January 2013, the number of production employees in commercial printing establishments has grown slightly, and is up +0.7% to 310,000. Other employees, which are mainly administrative including sales, are down -8.1%, from 145,000 to 133,300. http://whattheythink.com/data/81808-commercial-printing-employment/
