Daniel Calugar Weights in on the Future of Work: Automation, AI, and Their Impact on Labor Markets

Depending on what you believe, automation and artificial intelligence technologies will either completely eliminate millions of jobs across the globe or lead to the creation of millions of new, better jobs. Experienced investor Daniel Calugar says that the reality is likely somewhere in between those two extreme predictions.

It’s true that these technologies are likely to make some jobs — or at least some parts of jobs — no longer necessary. That will likely lead to job displacement.

Yet, it’s also true that these technologies are likely to create some new jobs — or at least refine the job description of […]

‘I’m a Luddite – and Why You Should Be One Too’ (stltoday.com) 85

Los Angeles Times technology columnist Brian Merchant has written a book about the 1811 Luddite rebellion against industrial technology, decrying "entrepreneurs and industrialists pushing for new, dubiously legal, highly automated and labor-saving modes of production ."

In a new piece he applauds the spirit of the Luddites . "The kind of visionaries we need now are those who see precisely how certain technologies are causing harm and who resist them when necessary." The parallels to the modern day are everywhere. In the 1800s, entrepreneurs used technology to justify imposing a new mode of work: the factory system. In the 2000s, […]

ADP Employment Report Signals Weakest Labor Market Since Jan 2021

ADP Employment Report Signals Weakest Labor Market Since Jan 2021

After ADP’s reports printed almost perfectly in line with BLS last month (+177k vs +187k), all eyes are on today’s print, which was expected to decline to +150k. Instead it plunged to just +89k – that is the lowest jobs addition since Jan 2021… Source: Bloomberg

The ADP print is around half the expectation for Friday’s NFP print of +170k. Large firms dominated the weakness… Manufacturing and Professional & Business Services saw large declines in jobs (ADP says professional business services down 32K, BUT JOLTS reported a 509K increase in professional and business services job openings!!!!) “We are seeing […]

How AI can become pro-worker

How AI can become pro-worker

While digital technologies have undoubtedly created new goods/services and boosted productivity in some activities (e.g. Brynjolfsson and McAfee 2015), there is also evidence that productivity gains from these technologies have sometimes fallen well below expectations (e.g. Acemoglu et al. 2016). Either way, over the past 40 years, waves of digital technologies – including personal computers, numerically controlled machinery, robotics, and office automation – have increased inequality. This is both because some of these technologies, such as personal computers, have been highly complementary to more educated workers (Autor et al. 1998, Autor et al. 2003, Goldin and Katz 2008), and […]
