Technological Unemployment

Another column signaling the seemingly massive change that is occurring to the world economy.

“Physical jobs are disappearing into the second economy, and I believe this effect is dwarfing the much more publicized effect of jobs disappearing to places like India and China.” [W. Brian Arthur, McKinsey Quarterly]
