Drones Are Expected to Bring 1,500 Jobs to Michigan
Remember the time when drones were this cool new thing that we were all fascinated by? Now that it has become more of a norm it's no surprise that new jobs are expected to be created because of it.
WXYZ Detroit spoke to a local store owner about how the drone industry is becoming more commercialized.
...the drone industry is carving out a larger and larger niche over time.
And because of this jobs are in demand. It's predicted that 100,000 jobs will be created because of drones with 1,500 in Michigan alone, according to the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. These positions include drone pilots, programmers, and repairs; and are are expected to bring in $11.3 million to the economy.
Just some of the industries where drones would be used include farming, real estate, and construction.
