"The production line has been squeezed into half the space of a
traditional plant. Welding robots are concentrated in efficient
clusters, instead of being spaced along the line, while many of
the workers earn half the typical union wage. Even the first coat
of rust-proofing has been reformulated so that it is one-hundredth
as thick as — and thereby cheaper than — the coating on other cars."

Cute how slashed wages appear in a subordinate clause in the middle of
a list of technical innovations.
