What is the value of a 1977 penny that is made of steel?

Since there were none minted from steel that year, I would have to assume it is either plated (with silver, zinc, or nickel) which has no collector value, or it was minted on a foreign planchet, which would be worth about $50 You can verify that it is not steel by trying to stick it to a magnet. If it does not stick, then it is not steel.

Do advances in technology increase unemployment?

Changes in technology have historically affected employment because some tasks are done more accurately and easily than people can do them. Repetitive tasks are boring and hard on the human body--look at carpal tunnel issues and others. Henry Ford set up one of the first assembly lines, which increased employment around Detroit in the early 1900s. Many of the employees worked there their entire lives. But, as the auto business changed (for one thing, they last longer), then the employees had to learn new skills or change jobs, depending on the situation. More computer-aided devices on cars, different materials (steel vs fiberglass), and so on make a difference. People have to exercise more flexibility in their work lives as well as becoming life long learners.

What caused the manufacturing jobs to move out of developed nations to emerging nations?

There are two main reasons that work in tandem:

1) Wages in developing nations are significantly less than those in developed nations. This is due to a number of factors. Firstly, labor is protected in developed nations and so there are court costs, labor union costs, and medical insurance costs that need not be paid to unprotected workers. Additionally, in developing countries, the cost of living is less, so workers can be paid less. As compared to service jobs, manufacturing jobs typically require less education and can therefore be performed by a less educated population.

2) Shipping is almost effortless now. Around 100 years ago, to get something from Asia to North America would take months and be subject to whether the boat could handle the waves. There were a lot of costs associated with transportation, so this negated any benefits that could accrue from cheaper labor in Asia. With transportation becoming standardized on massive ocean liners, river barges, trains, and airplanes, costs of shipping are relatively negligible for any singular item.

The combination of cheap wages abroad and easy/predictable shipping has led to most manufacturing jobs being relocated in developing countries.
