At one point, executives asked employees who had been promoted since to stand up. “And you know what?” CEO Brian Niccol told investors Tuesday on a conference call. “Almost every person in the room was standing up.”

This, as much as any metric, offers a glimpse of Chipotle’s mindset as the sector’s labor challenge marches on. Last Friday, the fast casual’s annual sustainability report showed turnover rates skyrocketing across the board—but especially […]

Cobots And The Job Battle That Never Was

Cobots And The Job Battle That Never Was

We’ve heard the fear echoed time and again: Automation is going to take away our jobs. And time and again, we see the same outcome: There are just as many, if not more, jobs in our more automated world. The effects of the steely arms of robots entering the workforce are likely to be no different than those of the great advances in computing that we have witnessed in recent decades.

Prior to the pandemic, the world found itself in the unusual position of simultaneous AI adoption and employment booms. As The Economist recently pointed out in their Finance & […]

At the same time, low-wage service jobs have soared.

"All workers, and especially Black and brown workers were hurt by the loss of more than 5 million manufacturing jobs in this period,” says Robert Scott, senior economist at EPI and co-author of the report that evaluated data […]

The early days of heavy truck electrification, automation

If you want to pick a milestone in the convergence of trucks and new mobility, rewind six and a half years to the evening of May 5, 2015.

Daimler introduced what it called the world’s first autonomous truck licensed to drive on public roads, and it did so in a spectacle worthy of Hollywood. It sent the truck, aptly named the Freightliner Inspiration, on an autonomous trek across the Hoover Dam while simultaneously projecting video images onto the dam’s massive concrete wall.

The 30-minute show earned Daimler a Guinness world record for the projection with the highest-ever light output — 1.17 […]
