Will automation destroy more jobs than it creates?

Economists and entrepreneurs say the advent of robots and automation will destroy more jobs than it will create—leading to a world where computers do most of the work and humans do… something else. Some critics say experts are exaggerating when they say the future will be jobless. Automation will replace some tasks, but it will also create new opportunities. The cost of goods will go down. People will still need to program the robots too. What do you think will happen? 🤖

Unlike technological revolutions in the past, automation threatens to replace humans entirely. Already, fast food chains are […]

The Fight for $15 and the Rise of the Machines

The Fight for $15 and the Rise of the Machines

Once upon a time in America, there was a “full service” lane where a young man on his first job might come out and wipe your windows and maybe check your oil and tire pressure. But as technology and labor costs both advanced, the inevitability of job loss through automation loomed on the horizon. Either you developed the skills needed to compete in a rapidly changing world or found yourself on the outside of the job market looking in.

The “Fight for 15” movement and proponents of that distortion of economics called the “living wage” are clearly on the wrong […]

The real reasons behind the fall in America's manufacturing jobs

© Getty Images This morning’s employment report shows a healthy increase of 235,000 total (nonfarm) jobs last month, pretty much across the board, in all major categories except for retail services. The manufacturing sector alone gained 28,000 jobs — a stronger showing than we’ve seen in a long time.

Looking further back it becomes obvious that manufacturing just has not followed the typical storyline of an industry merely living through and […]

A quarter of a million in 1970 to about a half a million today, with 100,000 added since the year 2000. These facts, revealed in a recent book by Boston University economist James Bessen, […]

Why Automation Will Create, Not Destroy, Jobs

Why Automation Will Create, Not Destroy, Jobs

If you have been watching political tectonics on both sides of the Atlantic, you may have noticed that analysts are increasingly getting it wrong: “it” being economics, politics, and social trends. The all of it, wrong. Why is this?

Not in Kansas Anymore

We are now deep into a digital transformation, and a new way of thinking and working and living. The business models of our past are faltering. Legacy thinking is virtually unfit for this digital age. The reality is that the conditions within which humanity operates are not what they used to be. Yet, thousands of self-proclaimed […]
