We’ve all heard the claim: “Robots will take our jobs.” But what actually happens when work is fundamentally changed by technology? Jeff Wald, author of The End of Jobs and co-founder of WorkMarket, joins me on this episode to discuss the future of our 9-to-5’s including how data science, automation, and other macroeconomic factors will reshape work around the globe in the coming decades.
Jeff’s work involves a careful examination of the data around the history of work, and builds on his own experience as co-founder of WorkMarket, a company focused on helping companies manage contractors. We discuss the pandemic, remote work, and the obligations of society towards the people caught up in the churn.
