RE: How Can A Human Justify Asking To Be Paid $15 To Work?

in #technology8 years ago

I think this is the biggest challenge that is being faced by people whose hourly income is less than $20 per hour. A very large portion of those people will be vulnerable to be either being outsourced or losing their jobs to automation. The concept isn't too new as there have been many industries that have lost jobs due to new technologies like textile workers that used manual weaving looms were replaced by mechanized weaving looms. Ultimately, people have to shift to higher paying fields that have less risk of being outsourced or automated though this transition is very difficult for those whose skills are based in a specific industry.
