Abortion has the same effect on jobs. And the human capital deficit is why we import workers from other countries.

So let me see. hummm. The Social Security department will be replaced by robotic agents? How will we know if VA clinic staff has been replaced by robots? The California DMV and every other DMV across the nation will replace their surly crews with robots? Can robots unionize? I doubt they would want to if they were shown pictures of cars being fed into a shredder.

A lot of people hate innovation, but innovation is the birth pangs of new economic frontiers. The headline, as alarmist as it is, only tells you the bad news. The good news is that other jobs will open up in new industries that will spring up to support these new economic and industrial frontiers.

As there’s pain in giving birth, so there’s pain in having to retrain some into new occupations. But innovation and disruption that goes with it brings great benefit overall especially as we in America gain/maintain the economic edge and American lifestyles improve as it always has as a result.

Usually I would say that innovation creates new unforeseen jobs but I thing we are heading in the direction where the new jobs themselves will be automated and if you add in the outsourcing of jobs that robots can't do we will have a jobs crisis in the future a generation from now or two.

Everything from cab and bus drivers to train conductors to airline pilots can be automated to replace almost all human interaction. I am even reading doctors can be eliminated - you walk in and sit in a tube and machine diagnosis you and maybe down the road can perform an operation. That is how far robotics have come.

I know it sounds fanciful but we are kind of seeing this happen slowly. Even pizza/food delivery can be replaced by drones soon.

The only job I don't see being automated is an artist - people like art and to be entertained and plumbers and carpenters. If you are thinking of having kids - think about these kinds of trades for them to go to.

RE: Innovation (including robots) will eliminate 5 million jobs by 2020, study finds

The imminent arrival of the $15 minimum wage plus Mandatory salary payment while on leave and other government mandated benefits will probably accelerate the process.

Innovation + capital creates jobs. Innovation + taxes destroys jobs.
So, the author’s probably right.

Robots dont work without power.

They also have narrow operating parameters.

Theres a place for everyone.
