In a world of low pay changing job skills!

In a world of low pay changing job skills! Getting a education when you are poor is like good credit you have to buy something and your broke. The minimum wage needs to go up small towns are falling, over they are too broke and cant fix their homes. Nature doesn't care otherwise! 

All of this is a bad sign for a bad labor force! If you can't take care of yourself then how are you to take care of the workplace? Getting new job skills when it's too far to walk there or other concerns because they live with no AC or heat because they can't afford to use it. How can they afford student loans and cost of their education?

Well the minimum wage needs to go up to cover the cost of higher job skills needed. Relating to job skill training with low pay not raising the wages, if you don't it would be like running a marathon holding your breath because you are broke! Raising the wages will make a foundation to cover the changes in the job skills as workers could afford to get job skills. Lost jobs over robots to people that make enough money to get new skills to move up to the new higher level. Not to live without cutting everything back letting your home fall over because you can't afford to fix it.

Sad but true living poor just sets themselves up for failure you shouldn't build your home on sand because wood rots and futures rule like nature bulldozing those houses only to have a bunch of beavers with banjos stumbling out, they have no job skills. The future doesn't care about your personal issues it's like hearing a bunch of hoopla outside your home only to go outside in the morning to find a dead beaver with a banjo in the street not knowing how it got there only a concern to them a whatever to everyone else! 

The point lets raise the wages to cover the changes because you don't want rednecks 
fixing robots when they can't even fix their own homes. We all need to be brought up!

~~~~~Technology, jobs, and the future of work
Automation, digital platforms, and other innovations are changing the fundamental nature of work. Understanding these shifts can help policy makers, business leaders, and workers move forward.

The world of work is in a state of flux, which is causing considerable anxiety—and with good reason. There is growing polarization of labor-market opportunities between high- and low-skill jobs, unemployment and underemployment especially among young people, stagnating incomes for a large proportion of households, and income inequality. Migration and its effects on jobs has become a sensitive political issue in many advanced economies. And from Mumbai to Manchester, public debate rages about the future of work and whether there will be enough jobs to gainfully employ everyone.

The development of automation enabled by technologies including robotics and artificial intelligence brings the promise of higher productivity (and with productivity, economic growth), increased efficiencies, safety, and convenience. But these technologies also raise difficult questions about the broader impact of automation on jobs, skills, wages, and the nature of work itself.

Many activities that workers carry out today have the potential to be automated. At the same time, job-matching sites such as LinkedIn and Monster are changing and expanding the way individuals look for work and companies identify and recruit talent. Independent workers are increasingly choosing to offer their services on digital platforms including Upwork, Uber, and Etsy and, in the process, challenging conventional ideas about how and where work is undertaken.

For policy makers, business leaders, and workers themselves, these shifts create considerable uncertainty, alongside the potential benefits. This briefing note aims to provide a fact base on the multiple trends and forces buffeting the world of work drawing on recent research by the McKinsey Global Institute and others.
