'Reskilling Revolution Needed for the Millions of Jobs at Risk Due To Technological Disruption' (weforum.org)
A new report, published by The World Economic Forum on Monday estimates that 1.4 million U.S. jobs will be hit by automation between now and 2026. Of those, 57 percent belong to women. Without re-education, 16 percent of affected workers will have no job prospects, the study finds. A further 25 percent would have one to three job options. The report adds The positive finding from the report is that with adequate reskilling, 95% of the most immediately at-risk workers would find good-quality, higher-wage work in growing job families. Report highlights the urgent need for a massive reskilling programme, safety nets to support workers while they reskill, and support with job-matching.
> so we need to bring in immigrants to do the jobs that American robots won't do.
We have always used immigrants to do the jobs that no American will do.
That's why all of Trump's wives are immigrants.
I'll see your senator, and I'll raise you two judges.
You don't fucking get it.
Thanks to Trump, this is no longer a zero-sum game. The influx of new jobs due to economy growth and the return of factories from out-of-country (like the Chrysler plant announced last week which will be closed in Mexico and re-opened in Michigan with 2500 new Michigan jobs) is going to make this 1.4 million not-a-factor. Its way past time to relax and enjoy. So, relax and enjoy. The big-money globalists who want to ship our jobs to every other country on the planet besides the USA are no longer in control. Trump is, and prosperity will ensue.
