Job Shift Is Real

Research shows that in many cases, automation creates “tasks shifts” rather than job losses. For eg, as companies reduced business travel, virtual-meeting technology improved, professionals have more time to spend on other aspects of their jobs such as research and analysis.

Some of the hospitality jobs might never come back, more programmers, technicians, and engineers will be required to design and maintain that virtual meeting tech.

A shift towards e-commerce “means lower labor demand in retail stores and supermarkets, and increased demand for warehouses and transportation workers.”
