The chart this data comes from (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ifr.org&#x2F;downloads&#x2F;press2018&#x2F;Teaser_Robot_Density_.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ifr.org&#x2F;downloads&#x2F;press2018&#x2F;Teaser_Robot_Density_.jp...</a>) is for employees within the manufacturing industry, not for the economy as a whole.
