Can hotel rooms be cleaned and beds changed by some automaton? I know Dominoes wants to deliver pizzas with drones but I doubt anything but a person can actually make a pizza. It's hard to imagine a drone or a robot taking your order in a restaurant then bringing it to you.

If you know anything about 3d printing and associated manufacturing techniques, making a pizza is probably the easiest to automate. Hell, I can design an automatic pizza maker. They probably already have them.

COVID exposed weakness in the way we have been doing business. I think a number of companies will make changes, one them being that they will move away from zero inventory, the other is that they will moved some production back from overseas to the US.

As far as service workers, look at how wages are up. The market will take care of this issue if we just sit back and let it. You can't offer bad hours, bad working conditions, bad wages and expect people to work for you. They can and will leave. Restaurants and retailers have a terrible reputation because they deserve it. The tables have turned and now it's time to pay the piper.

Ha! Spot on, my friend. I think an electrician or plumber has way more security than a web based job. Wonder what Mr econ professor has to say about that

I have this question for your econ "professor"

How will the guy who waxes my butthole take his services online? Will he send me waxing strips in the mail and coach me through it via Zoom call?

You know, sort of how it was done over the entire pandemic.

Tech can claim one thing: internet taxi services (Uber, Lyft) have done better than traditional taxis. But oops that's still service industry isn't it.

Door Dash, Insta Cart - nope, same industry, different methods. Expensive AF too. Anyone still doing this outside the mask-nazi states?

1) Truck drivers make decent money. They don't belong in your list of low-end jobs. Also, until we deliver everything via drone or Star Trek-type transporters, truck drivers will still be needed big time.

2) Fast Food jobs will continue until the zombie apocalypse. If everyone else's pay goes up in other jobs, then fast food will just cost more, and the workers there will make more too.

3) Automation WILL continue to limit jobs at warehouses and factories, and brick and mortar retail stores are going to continue to disappear due to online shopping.

UPSers is a HRM entry gotten ready for the experts of UPS Logistics Company, most prominent pack transport chain in the US. This section is restrictive and completely restricted to the agents/transporters working with the UPS Organization, in which you can get to different associations like getting finance data, raising tickets, demand leaves, direct expert advantages, and any extra stuff acquainted by the ups with their workers.

That does not eliminate the job itself.

The assumption here is the people who are doing these jobs have the skills to work in a web-based job.

More mundane tasks will be replaced with automation or the customer doing some of the work. Case in point: checking your bag at the airport. The airlines have off loaded part of that job onto the customer. Same for self-checkout at so many places. Of course I remember long ago where the idea was that the shopping cart would keep track of what you have bought and you could skip the line entirely and just have it all charged to your credit card. That has not caught on.

I'm counting down the days until these niche jobs that about 1% of or people have, stop dominating every news headline. I seriously don't care about nurses teachers or wait staff. Move on.

A lot of people don't have the chops to make it in software development. It's not just coding..it's working in a business environment. Meeting specs, hitting deadlines, communication, thinking outside the box. I've seen tons of people either rage quit or simply find out "holy crap, this isn't for me". Burn out is huge. The people who make it love to code and learn how to navigate the corporate world.

And I think that logic carries into other "high paying jobs". The reason they are high paying is usually two fold:

1. The value of the work is high.

2. It's hard to find quality people who can do the job well.

As far as job loss due to automation, I think it is coming (already has been). I have no clue what the answers are. We humans find ways to make new jobs as the economy/society changes. How many car mechanics were there in 1776?

Who’s gonna make the brojos coffee on their way to their home office?

Either your professor doesn't know what a service is, or (more likely) you have misinterpreted your professor's words. "The service economy" includes much more than low wage jobs. Your professor works in the service economy. Finance bros work in the service economy. Physicians work in the service economy. Education, financial services, and medicine are all services (as opposed to goods).

It doesn't make any sense to say that web based jobs will replace service jobs as the two are not mutually exclusive. A salesperson who does their meetings on zoom or a physician who does telemed or an engineering consultant who works from home are still providing services.

Rule 42 will be over any day now and millions of workers in US Border towns will become available for Silicon Valley Trillion Dollar behemoths to train and put to work immediately.
