The future feeling economy: “If humans want jobs, they better get good at feeling”

The future feeling economy: “If humans want jobs, they better get good at feeling”

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) means that future in-demand skills will be decreasingly technical and increasingly emotive, creating a “feeling economy”, according to research.

In a paper published today in the journal California Management Review , an international team of researchers from the University of Maryland and National Taiwan University reviewed ten years of data on millions of US workers from the US Department of Labor.

They identified a significant shift between 2006 to 2016 towards tasks that required greater emotional intelligence, a move they attribute to increasing automation of more technical and repetitive tasks.They predict that as AI becomes […]

Why automation needn’t threaten us

Why automation needn't threaten us

1 1 Mark Carney said robots can replace hands and heads but not heart The retail sector has already been shaped profoundly by technological change, from online fulfilment to warehouse robots and in-store automated technology.

But what does this mean for retail employment and what effects will it have on the high street?

The RICS NI Commercial Market Survey for Q2 2019 indicated that results for the retail sector were in decline across the board -in demand, investment inquiries and capital value expectations for its properties.It was suggested that changes in high street shopper habits continue to contribute as such and […]

Rethinking Retraining: Why Worker Training Programs Alone Won’t Save Coal Country

Rethinking Retraining: Why Worker Training Programs Alone Won’t Save Coal Country

Participants in a West Virginia worker training program offered by Coalfield Development Corporation Bobby Bowman mined coal in West Virginia for 12 years before his employer shut down.

“I don’t think that mine will ever open again,” he said.

Bowman lives in Welch, in the south of the state, where he worked at the Pinnacle Mine, which shut down almost exactly one year ago, putting him and about 400 others out of work. After waiting a month in hopes someone would buy Pinnacle and the mine would reopen, Bowman decided to do a four-week training program offered by the United Mine […]

US Machine Production Gains Competitive Edge

US Machine Production Gains Competitive Edge

By Mark Howard, US Country Manager, EU Automation

Surpassing all expectations, the Federal Reserve announced a rise in the US manufacturing production index of 0.5 per cent in August 2019. This development allows us to reconsider our understanding of the American manufacturing industry in comparison with Asian competitors. This article discusses the potential long term upswing of US manufacturing and how to achieve it.

In 2018 the Brooking Institute found that 20 per cent of global manufacturing came from China, with the US coming in a close second with 18 per cent. This classification has remained entrenched in the world […]

HSBC cuts sound bold, but its caretaker manager must do more to make his mark

HSBC cuts sound bold, but its caretaker manager must do more to make his mark

HSBC needs to focus on cutting overheads in weaker European markets Ten thousand job cuts make it seem like HSBC’s caretaker boss is just the tough guy the sprawling megabank needs.

After all, Noel Quinn was promoted to the chief executive role after John Flint was hoiked for failing to implement change fast enough.

Trouble is, when you consider HSBC has 238,000 staff around the world, Quinn’s move seems slightly less bold. Most big banks have been quietly cutting their London and continental European operations at a far faster pace for years.The boss of one says its London HQ has cut […]

Automation to hit African Americans disproportionately

Automation to hit African Americans disproportionately

Image: H. Armstrong Roberts/ClassicStock/Getty; Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios The employment outlook for African Americans will "worsen dramatically" as automation upends the workforce, according to a new report from McKinsey & Co.

Why it matters: By 2030, African American workers stand to lose hundreds of thousands of jobs as a result of increased automation, widening the racial wealth gap and weighing down overall U.S. growth. The problem will be particularly acute for men, younger workers between 18 and 35, and those without a college degree, according to the report, "The future of work in black America."

The cost: Researchers have projected […]

Is It Time To Talk About Universal Basic Income?

Is It Time To Talk About Universal Basic Income?

Talk of a universal basic income has been in the news a lot recently, but what does it all mean? First off, it’s important to make the distinction between free money and services that comes from your taxes – the money for a universal basic income has to come from somewhere, so it’s not free money but rather a useful return for your tax payments. The idea is to level the playing field as much as possible in an effort to eliminate poverty and give families a fighting chance in a world where the cost of living has long […]

Electromechanical Actuator Market Projected to Witness a Single-Digit CAGR During 2017 – 2025

Electromechanical Actuator Market Projected to Witness a Single-Digit CAGR During 2017 – 2025

Electromechanical actuators convert the energy created by electricity into linear motion. Electromechanical actuators come under the category of linear actuators. Other types of linear actuators available in the market are mechanical actuators, hydraulic actuators, pneumatic actuators, and piezoelectric actuators. Electromechanical actuators provide a lot of advantages over the traditional pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. This is the reason why electromechanical actuators are widely popular.

Market Overview:

The energy created by liquid, electricity or air is converted into motion by electromechanical actuators. Motion generated because of an electromechanical actuator can be in the form of ejection, clamping or blocking. Electromechanical actuators […]
