As I’ve Said Before, Robots Are Coming
On Sunday, I wrote that there were signs that jobs were coming back to the U.S. or that new ones utilizing your passions and Uber were being created.
But...robots are also coming. One factory in Wisconsin is finding that it must bring in robots because it couldn't find the skilled talent to replace the looming retirement of the baby boomers. A lot of the youngsters are just too wracked by drug problems or just don't want factory jobs.
Then there's another set of workers who can see the handwriting on the wall and decided to quit to find something else. Even if Trump hectors the factory into bringing in jobs, the workers know that such jobs would be temporary. They've seen this before so they are striking out, trying to improve their life. Yeah! I hope they succeed because I believe that this is the only way. I just hope they succeed.
So we must remain vigilant and keep learning and be flexible.
