The assumption for this article is that an inexpensive desktop nanofactory becomes common. It would produce one kilogram of molecularly precise product every hour from inexpensive feedstock. The general areas where this would have direct impact is in parts and products; they could be produced by the desktop factory and not have to be made at a remote factory and shipped to the end user. This would effect jobs at retail stores and existing factories by greatly reducing the need for inventory. Jobs related to production, transportation and installation (25 million jobs) would be the most effected by nanofactories.
