The joblessness created by in coming automation boom is going to result in a huge increase in the gray market economy. Amazon gift cards already play a big part, and this is the next step.
- douche 10y agoTo be honest, I've seen an enormous increase in the number of jobs on offer. This is southern NH, in the $10-$15 per hour range. I'll admit, I'm originally po' white trash, but I consider that pretty good wages for a cushy non-labor job at Micky Ds or Dunky Donuts.
- jaxn 10y agoYeah, there will be an increase in the short term. But as labor prices are being driven up, automation becomes more cost effective. The fastest way to ensure those jobs disappear would be a $15 minimum wage.
