Jeff Wald & The End of Jobs

Key takeaways

  • There will be plenty of jobs in the future.

  • In the future, people will work fewer hours and have a higher living standard.

  • New jobs will be created that we cannot think of now. (i.e., Imagine explaining what a Social Media Manager position is to someone in the 1960s).

Three stages of a revolution

  1. Shock: Businesses and livelihoods are completely disrupted as new, faster, cheaper, and safer ways of performing tasks are introduced.

  2. Reconfiguration: Businesses and people begin to shift their attitude towards the technology and start integrating it.

  3. Adaptation: Businesses and people have adapted to the new technology and the new workplace environment.
