Well, there is one fix to that:
Automation does not destroy skilled jobs.
Unskilled jobs, however, are hit by automation.
For theUS, the problem is how off-track our education system has gotten in terms of job preparedness.
We have lots of people who worked hard, got lots of student debt, and have no jobs. Which is actually still small (the unemployment rate for people with college degrees is what, 4-5%?). We have lots of unskilled labor who went through our public school system. That's a problem.
We need to bring trade schools back.
Also, did anyone else notice the use of the verb "hire" when talking about robots?
- zizee 15y agoHow does one define "skilled"? I suspect that the definition is something like "A job is skilled if it can't be automated". If we go with that definition then yes, by definition automation destroys unskilled jobs.
