Have and Have Nots in the Job Market?

16 Apr Have and Have Nots in the Job Market?

Jobs come and jobs go, but are the ones that are coming as good as the ones that we are losing? I was taken by some new research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology which looked at the job titles being added and found a swathe of them to be ‘Last Frontier Work’ which is to say jobs that are likely to be replaced by automation sooner rather than later. To be sure there are some cool new jobs being added, but that does not solve some of the larger problems See more in my Globe and Mail column here.
