But, the report also states that as in the past, technology will not be a purely destructive force. New jobs will be created; existing roles will be redefined; and workers will have the opportunity to switch careers. The challenge particular to this generation, say the authors, is managing the transition. Income inequality is likely to grow, possibly leading to political instability; and the individuals who need to retrain for new careers won?t be the young, but middle-aged professionals.

Automation could destroy as many as 73 million U.S. jobs by 2030, but economic growth, rising productivity and other forces could more than offset the losses, according to a new report by McKinsey Global Institute.

?What you?re going to see for a lot of jobs is a churn of different tasks,? he explains. ?So a lawyer today doesn?t develop systems that offer advice, but the lawyer of 2025 will. They?ll still be called lawyers but they?ll be doing different things.?

The authors see the looming transformation akin to what happened in the United States and Europe in the early 1900s, when global industry switched from farming to factory work. Overall, their message is not one of doom. They do not want to scare people but rather prepare for an inevitable transition, especially highlighting the need for mass retraining.

Give us facts, not delusions.
read the articles before you post them and you got your facts.
nobody said that automatized industry will not effect the job market but that happens hundred times before and we are still here and well.

the simple logic that someone who can not buy if he does not make money and that it does not make sense to make any kind of production for such people seems not to be enough for you to understand that your apocalypse will not happen.

the world will resolve this issue same as all others before. and in 100 years people will still complain their situation - no matter how well they are.

and it is a fact that there will be countries hitting harder as others - those are the ones with the alltime yesterday thinkers what are afraid of the future.

there was a world before us and there will be one after us - and no - it will not be a world without problems because such a world has never exist.
