      From: m@m.com              Hello...                     More philosophy about the USA economy..              I think that the big losers in the economy of the coronavirus pandemic       crisis are the low-wage and low skilled workers.              Read the following to notice it:              "The same is true of the rise of automation during the pandemic. As       companies looked for ways to reduce the number of people in an office,       hotel or factory, they turned to robots and telework. They invested       heavily in technology, which economists predict could result in one of       the biggest boosts to worker productivity in years. This higher       productivity forecast is one of the reasons the McKinsey Global       Institute says the United States could see an economy that’s $3,500 per       person bigger by 2024. But those gains are unlikely to be evenly       distributed. Automation also has downsides, especially layoffs for       workers without college degrees.              “This is not a sure thing that we reap the benefits of faster growth       without negative side effects. There are real worries about inequality,”       said Susan Lund, head of the McKinsey Global Institute. “Are we able to       create real opportunities for people who have been in low-wage, low       skilled jobs?”"              Read more here:              https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/06/20/us-economy-changes/                     Thank you,       Amine Moulay Ramdane.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
