There is hope after all

What the BLS data tells us is that even in a rapidly automating world, we can't automate empathy.
Last week, when the BLS reported that the U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in May, analysts noted that one of the labor market's bright spots involved restaurants and bars. Waiters, cooks and bartenders accounted for a full 16% of the month's job growth. As the Washington Post's Neil Irwin put it, "A robot may be able to assemble a car, but a cook still grills burgers."



I agree fully with this nice article. Automation is destroying a lot of jobs everywhere. But there is hope, all manual things will still be needed and jobs where there are human empathy are more & more on demand. Low paying jobs but they are jobs.
