What would happen if magnets stopped working?

I asked a similar question earlier: What would happen if electricity stopped working?. But I was also thinking about what would happen if magnets stopped working. This question is very related to what things need magnetic fields to work. For example:
- compasses
- refrigerator magnets
However, the big problem would be the lack of electromagnets, which are used in:
- motors (therefore mass transit, cars, planes, boats...)
- heavy lifting (for construction)
- generators (hydroelectric, wind, ...)
Would there be any wide-spread implications of such a disaster?
