New ways of creating employment must be found

It is good to learn Pfizer will invest €100m upgrading some of its plants in Ireland.

It is interesting and informative however to look at the employment profile planned for the investment. About 200 construction jobs will be created for possibly two years?

Two decades ago such construction might have needed 2,000 jobs for five years, but then building methods have greatly improved. There is no mention whatsoever of any additional jobs in production when the plant is completed, despite predicted output in excess of double what is possible today.
