While advanced economies have shed industrial jobs over the last two decades, the rise of the same sector in East Asia has more than compensated for the loss, according to an annual report published by the […]

In 1900 many people worked in dreadful conditions, doing repetitive and tedious jobs. The streets were full of horses and carts. Life expectancy for someone born that year was just 41. Wind forward to 1962 and working conditions had greatly improved. The streets were full of cars and trucks […]

Studies examine automation and its impact on U.S. jobs

Shutterstock photo Computerized automation has been replacing people in jobs across the U.S. for years. But could automation replace as many as 65 percent of jobs in the Las Vegas service industry over the next 20 years? And should workers be concerned about that possibility?

After hearing that high number in class, UNLV Harrah College of Hospitality graduate student Ok Yung "Beth" Wi set out to find out if that’s possible.

“In the beginning, I wanted to defend that robots will never be able to replace people, but it’s happening,” Wi said, according to the University of Nevada Las Vegas Campus […]

Levine: Who’s hopeful for 2019?

Levine: Who's hopeful for 2019?

It’s a fascinating tradition to look at the top stories at year’s end and 2018 provides an entire library. My favorites are the strange tales: a senior citizen launches himself into space to prove that the Earth is flat, squirrels stash 50 pounds of pine cones under car hood in Michigan, and a bear rings the doorbell at a Florida home. They’re unconventional choices but I prefer them over the bleak and deeply divisive stories.

Bleak describes some of the most read stories of 2018. They feature death and destruction: hurricanes, school shootings, famous people’s suicides, and politically inspired package […]

Let The Robots Take Over: How The Future Of AI Will Create More Jobs

Let The Robots Take Over: How The Future Of AI Will Create More Jobs

A Stanford University report states that artificial intelligence (AI) will significantly impact nearly all aspects of our lives, including transportation, home services, medicine, education, public safety, the job market, entertainment and more. With the continuous growth of AI, there will be more substantial developments in the years to come.

Artificial intelligence, as defined by computer scientist Nils J. Nilsson, involves activities devoted to making machines intelligent in a way that enables them "to function appropriately and with foresight in its environment." Some people still envision everything from sci-fi robots to e-tailer recommendations when AI comes up. However, the ever-accelerating AI […]

Krugman Discusses the Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Automation on Jobs 3/6/2011

In an op-ed column called Degrees and Dollars published in The New York Times Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman of Princeton wrote concerning the impact of artificial intelligence and automation on jobs:

"The fact is that since 1990 or so the U.S. job market has been characterized not by a general rise in the demand for skill, but by “hollowing out”: both high-wage and low-wage employment have grown rapidly, but medium-wage jobs — the kinds of jobs we count on to support a strong middle class — have lagged behind. And the hole in the middle has been getting […]
