胶卷巨头伊士曼柯达公司近日表示，由于胶卷摄影正在复苏，需要增产才能满足消费者对相机胶卷的需求。“令人欣慰的是需求回来了，我们需要高水平的技术人员来制造并保持机器运转。”柯达胶片制造副总裁布金凯尔（Nagraj Boukinkere）表示。新的需求将为柯达创造新的就业机会，柯达表示，目前正在寻找75个空缺职位。

二 |     Sputnik spoke with Dr. D. B. Bhaaskara, CEO of the multinational company Roerich Healthcare, about the current state of pharma trade with Russia.,Sputnik: Can you explain the current state of pharma supplies to Russia?,D. B. Bhaaskara: Currently, pharmaceutical shipments of Indian firms to Russia are at the same level even after the sanctions. But, there are many proposals (supplies) that Russians are not getting from the European Union. Russians are looking for these materials (chemicals, excipients, APIs [Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients]) with several Indian manufacturers. They have to develop links with Indian firms. There are many proposals from Russia - these proposals are under consideration from the Indian side.,Sputnik: There were reports of delayed payments from Russia initially after sanctions. As we see, trade has jumped manifold in the energy and fertilizer sectors. Do you think payment issues have been resolved in other sectors as well?,D. B. Bhaaskara: Several Indian companies have signed contracts in yuan, which means they are ready to receive payment in China's yuan. Still, the preferred mode of settlement is in the Indian rupee. As export procedures closed successfully in USD/euro/INR, Russians set aside yuan contracts.,My company is receiving regular payment without any delay in Indian rupees or USD or sometimes in euros.,Sputnik: What about logistical issues, as sanctions hit the shipping sector?,D. B. Bhaaskara: The logistical issues are still there because few airlines — namely Aeroflot, Emirates, Qatar, and Turkish — are available for transportation. Transportation costs are slightly high because of no regular cargo consignments. They vary between $8-12 per kg compared to $5 per kg in a normal situation.,Cargo sea shipment is still in a mess. The only port in Gujarat accepts Russian shipping. Here again, the container price is very, very high. We have to pay anything between $9,000 - 12,000 for a container. When there was no conflict or sanctions, it was $2,500 per container.,We have tried to send our shipments via Iran. So, from Gujarat port, the shipment reaches an Iranian port, and from there, it goes via road or rail to Moscow. But, it is taking a much longer time. In general, it is supposed to arrive in 30-40 days, but on an experimental basis, some companies sent their materials via the Iran route, [and they are] still on their way even after two months.,Shanghai is very crowded and has also been hit by the pandemic, making it unsuitable for us. So, the only problem right now is logistics; there is no payment issue.,Some Russian companies have an account with European banks operating in Russia dealing in oil and gas payments. Those banks are being used to send money anywhere worldwide, even with sanctions.,Sputnik: Western firms intended to withdraw their operations in Russia in response to Moscow's special military operation. Do you see some significant investments from Indian pharma companies in Russia to fill the vacuum created by the west?,D. B. Bhaaskara: There are long-pending proposals from a couple of governors, such as [in] Volgograd and Kazan, inviting India's major pharma companies to set up manufacturing units in their region. But, due to the pandemic, nothing moved ahead.,A delegation will be going to Russia to explore the opportunities in Russia in July. A few Indian companies, such as Sun Pharma and Advance Pharma, have manufacturing units in Russia doing finished formulations.,Hopefully, some new companies are interested in setting up units there now. But, Russia is looking to scale up raw material manufacturing, e.g., API. For this, much homework related to regulation should be done between the two governments, especially under sanctions.,Also, big companies such as Sun Pharma, Aurbindo, and Dr. Reddy, all with significant exposure to the US market, may try to avoid investing in Russia because they are scared of the risk associated with sanctions.,Medium-scale companies can come forward to set up raw material (API) manufacturing in Russia. However, it is unclear whether Indian workers/professionals can go and work in Russia. Setting up a new unit in unknown topography with a different language and culture is a little complicated. A lot of these questions are unanswered.。但是现在的问题是，他们可能难以招到工人，或者需要为此支付更高的劳动报酬。美国招聘速度创新高随着美国制造业的回归，企业正在争相雇佣工人，美国工厂的招聘速度也创下几十年来的新高。美国最新的9月就业数据显示，美国制造行业在9月增加了22000名工人，自今年4月以来，美国制造业就业以约4%的速度增长，创下1984年以来的最快增速。在过去12个月内，美国制造业新增就业岗位达50万个。

三 | 即便这样，制造企业也无法招聘到足够的工人来填补工厂岗位的空缺。

四 | 根据美国劳工部的报告，在去年的大部分时间里，制造业仍有约80万个职位短缺。美国制造商协会首席执行官杰伊·蒂蒙斯（Jay Timmons）表示，制造行业每100个空缺的职位，应聘的人只有60个，要把这个空缺填补需要相当长的时间。蒂蒙斯还表示，制造业的薪酬在过去一年中上涨了5%，尤其是对熟练工的争夺激烈，这也将推动该行业的薪酬继续上涨。锐珂医疗大中华区总裁刘杰对第一财经记者表示：“美国制造业回流是一大趋势，但工人难招、工资上涨仍然是突出问题。”锐珂医疗前身为伊斯曼柯达医疗业务，后来从柯达剥离出来。自2020年新冠疫情以来，美国制造业的招聘就一直面临挑战。“随着全球经济对供应链产生更多的担忧，许多依赖海外供应商的美国公司已将重点转移到离本土更近的原材料和零部件来源。”一位国内大型医疗设备制造商美国生产基地负责人告诉第一财经记者，“毫无疑问，现在美国制造业的劳动力面临短缺，招人也面临困难，尤其是难以招到具有成熟技术的工人。”上述人士认为，制造业的自动化可能会成为未来一大趋势。“一些工厂可能需要提升机器人的比例来替代工人，但不得不承认，并不是所有的工作程序都能由机器来完成。”他表示。全球最大的电动车厂商特斯拉也面临劳动力短缺。为此，特斯拉CEO马斯克推出了一款人形机器人“擎天柱”，他希望把特斯拉变成世界上最大的机器人公司。

五 | 马斯克的长期愿景是让机器取代大部分劳动力，来从事“危险的、重复的、和无聊的任务”。薪资上涨岗位仍招不满一家位于美国宾州生产工程机械设备的美国制造商表示，工厂愿意支付工人更高的价格，以加快生产速度，但即便是每小时的薪资上涨至20至30美元，也很难招到符合要求的工人。某国际人力资源技术公司中国区高管李新宇对第一财经记者表示：“当前美国制造商在吸引工人方面面临的最大问题之一，是美国人愿意从事“蓝领”工作的人越来越少，这一方面是由于美国近几十年大力发展技术行业，科技人才能得到高薪，“蓝领”薪酬低；另一方面，美国的“零工经济”很发达，越来越多的人宁可选择灵活就业。”他还表示，美国原本对移民就业的政策就相对较为严格，在出台了“芯片法案”之后，加剧了人才市场的供需矛盾，导致包括芯片在内的制造业难招工的情况。调研机构Statista数据显示，美国从事灵活就业的人口达到5700万左右。今天，美国只有不到10%的私营部门工作岗位在制造业，而二战结束时这一比例曾超过40%。另据美国劳工部报告，制造业工作的平均每周工资为1250美元，即年薪65000美元，虽然这相较于科技巨头的薪资水平要低很多，但仍然比美国私营部门的工作岗位的平均收入高出11%，比零售工作岗位高超过80%。业内人士表示，随着技术的进步，制造业对于工人技能的要求也越来越高，而现在很多国家在先进技工人才储备方面还面临缺口。“其实我们应该对工人岗位有新的认识。”李新宇对第一财经记者表示，“今天看到美国制造业回流，有相当一部分集中在高精尖的制造业，招聘的技术工人已不再是传统的焊接工人这类简单的操作工，而是需要懂得操作控制精密仪器的，那么美国劳动力市场上是否已经有足够的高级技工的储备？我认为可能还有很大一部分缺口。
