I may disagree with you, but I get your point.
I was so stressed out that I took the day off and worked on computers and guitars for a bit.
I just don’t think that new jobs are replacing old jobs.
I, my own self, was a new job worker for years. I studied photonics and worked in it. One problem is that new industries and appearing and disappearing at a rate that makes it difficult for workers to keep up. And, as well, older workers have a real challenge keeping up.
Another problem now is that elder Americans seeking work have a whale of a job getting tired.
As far as "well, HooRU, why aren’t you working in tech if you are so experienced with it? Well, the reasons are personal. But I cannot.
An example of this change where I feel there is a net loss is with Amazon. Amazon consolidates what would be hundreds of retail places, and the jobs, with robotics, a consolidated warehouse (they are huge, I bring riders to them), aggragating labor in one place rather than many and with less workers.
Yes, Amazon’s way is more efficient and it’s wonderful having stuff delivered, for me in particular since I don’t own a car. Yes, Amazon has made it more possible to find some hard to find things.
But Amazon has removed seller competition and it could mean inflated prices, even already now. Also, Amazon now dictates seller rules and small sellers are experiencing onerous complications, such as the Amazon warehouse blowing some issue and the seller being put out of business as a result.
I used to, my own self, buy into the whole "make way for the future, we don’t need horse and buggies) but even in tech college some professors insisted that advancements in jobs isn’t always good. And companies refuse to train workers, going to college at 50 and funding it is hard as heck.
I’m 67, who is going to hire me?
Like I’ve said, it’s great until it affects YOU.
