Using an event study methodology and comprehensive micro data from the French manufacturing sector, we analyze the local labor market effects of investments in modern manufacturing capital, including modern automation technologies. We estimate that commuting zones with higher investments in modern manufacturing capital and automation benefit from higher labor demand, with an increase in both local employment and wages. Our findings are consistent with a task-based model where the productivity effects of modern capital investments and automation outweigh their displacement effect.
