Recommendation

Technological progress is excavating a deep chasm in the labor market, into which many middle-skill jobs have fallen and become buried. How can you protect your livelihood in this uncertain environment? With some colorful language, author Adam Fletcher wryly doles out coping mechanisms for society and for individuals. getAbstract recommends his frank, witty video to all employees – especially creatives – trying to ensure that their careers avert the precipice.

Take-Aways

  • Technological progress is not an “exclusively positive” trend. “Every new technology is as much a problem as it is a solution.”
  • In response to rapid shifts in technology, the labor market increasingly offers individual workers only short-term employment contracts.
  • Workers must continually retrain and become more specialized to stay ahead of technological progress that offers automated solutions to hitherto human services.
