Future of work- Blog
GRAPHS:
  1. Exhibit One- Graph one shows the economic performance of unique outlooks of job growth after the Great Recession in different financial environments. This graph is based in 25 major cities with high-growth hubs including their own unique urban vibes, the graph indicates that two-thirds of job growth in the last decade. The graph also contrasts cities with little to no job opportunity growth. 
  2. Exhibit Two- Graph two shows how population growth is also a factor of job growth. Many residents have been moving out of mega cities due to the population spike from high-growth hubs and even urban peripheries. Part of this spike is due to immigrants entering the domestic population but they merely scratch the surface. The growing economic hubs would expect more people to move from distressed areas to thriving job markets. 
  3. Exhibit Three-Graph three shows how the wave of automation will affect the job market. Jobs like office support, food service, production work, and customer service and retail sales are in threat of this new wave. Since this work is needed across the country, no one can stop this automation-related displacement. This does not mean a large amount of the job market will suddenly be unavailable, it simply means that these jobs will be more likely to shrink through attrition and reduced hiring.
FUTURE JOB- art teacher 
A possible career I am interested in is becoming an art teacher. After reading this article I felt as if they
had some BOLD statements about how that education is a labor-intensive industry. Which I can agree
with it is a job that most public school teachers gets 55 cents of every dollar goes towards salaries and
benefits (in the US), which is already a red flag. For the most part most education fueled jobs are pretty
much safe from automation-related displacement. To restate that is good for jobs that work with being
an actual teacher as for jobs like bus drivers, janitors, and security guards there jobs are more at risk to
automation-related displacement. 
I feel at ease with this… I think teachers should be paid more considering the hours, bratty kids and,
you know, educating the future minds of the world. I think sooner than later automation-related
displacement will come into play. I think it's important to be open to change but I believe the role of a
teacher will always be needed.

The Future of Work - Connor Morley

Image
The future of work in America is, like any prediction, ultimately uncertain, but there are numerous factors that are contributing to what can be predicted. Through the careful gathering of data by the McKinsey global institute, it is plain to see what jobs/lines of work are likely set to thrive and which ones might be in danger. It seems to be the trend that the jobs most in danger of displacement are the ones that are on the lower end of the pay scale. This appears to be correlated highly with jobs whose workers do not possess college degrees, as evidenced by this graph: Which shows that college degrees are more important than ever in a global economy less willing to shell out the big bucks on manufacturing and blue-collar work than ever, even though they constitute the largest portion of jobs in the world relative to other occupations, which really illustrates certain inequalities brought-on by a country exemplifying a capitalist model, such as the United States.  ...

Hey Check This Out 12/11

 https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/11/republicans-discover-dangers-selling-bunk-their-constituents/617197/ This article from The Atlantic draws the parallels between the lead up to, and the aftermath of the 1860 and the 2020 US presidential elections.  The divisions between modern day Americans and the two political parties are similarly as divided as back in the 1850’s leading up to the election of 1860 in which Abraham Lincoln (a Republican) was elected, much to the outrage of the US South; As described in the article the fiery speeches in the US Congress and toxic political rhetoric and conspiracy theories that were prevalent in the lead up to the 1860 election, which can also be said about the harsh divisions in the current 2020 political climate. In some ways, electing Obama president in 2008 helped improve race relations on some levels, or at least it opened up more dialogue about several important topics that had been ignored or downplayed for too long; i...

Coronavirus and issues of Development and Power

Jorge Larach 5/20/20 GPHC Coronavirus and issues of Development and Power  I read two articles:  Why Rich Countries must Protect Developing Nations from Coronavirus Pandemic How is the United Nations responding to the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) / COVID-19 outbreak? Despite this assignment being due weeks ago, I still compared what these articles are talking about to today and processed the timeline provided in the second article (chronologically), as well as considered what the call to action of the first article was referring to. I think the first article provides a persuasive, fact-supported argument as to why higher-income countries should divert some of their attention to poorer countries, not just for the well being of those countries, but for theirs as well. It argues that if poorer countries are not given the support they need, monetary or otherwise, then not only will those countries be hit substantially harder than richer ones, but it will like...
