More than half of all workplace tasks will be carried out by machines by 2025, organizers of the Davos economic forum said in a report released Monday that highlights the speed with which the labor market will change in coming years.

The World Economic Forum estimates that machines will be responsible for 52 percent of the division of labor as share of hours within seven years, up from just 29 percent today. By 2022, the report says, roughly 75 million jobs worldwide will be lost, but that could be more than offset by the creation of 133 million new jobs.

‘We’ are more productive than ever. Yet, we have had stagnated wages for years. Throw in immigration, illegal alien invasion, global wage arbitrage, and other costs associated with such advancements. We are in a pickle.

But if you look at the percentage of jobs that require skills and education, over unskilled jobs, that’s what keeps going up.

So what are the uneducated to do?

I went to the the periodontist today. They had a new software program to record gum line margins with voice input. I’m not sure it really saved all that much time during the cleaning and inspection, but if it saves 5 minutes per customer it adds up over time..
