“The story of automation in the US is that it has mostly impacted on manual workers in manufacturing. For example, factory employees — such as carmakers — performing routine tasks have lost their jobs to robots — or lower-cost Asian competitors.

#IndustrialAutomation has tended to affect lower-skilled, #BlueCollar jobs in the “#rustbelt” heartlands and small-town, less-educated communities in the south and midwest.

But a recent study from the #BrookingsInstitution suggests that the communities most exposed to AI-driven job dislocation will be #WhiteCollar information workers. The researchers studied the usage of #OpenAI’s #GenerativeAI tools across more than 1,000 occupations and mapped this against where those jobs were most commonly located.

Their analysis suggests that many #coders, #lawyers, #FinancialAnalysts and #bureaucrats in cities such as San Jose, San Francisco, Durham, New York and Washington DC might want to rethink their futures. But #NonOffice-bound #workers in places such as Las Vegas, Toledo, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana may be less exposed to AI disruption.”

My observation since 2022 when #ChristopherHohn an influential shareholder decided to *speak out* about “reducing its head count and paying (hi-tech) workers less”. [1]

This is the decade where extreme (cost) pressure will be forced on White collar workers by the introduction of AI.

Although Marine Le Pen can keep her seat in the French parliament during her appeal, the immediate enforcement of her ineligibility penalty means she cannot run in any election, precluding her candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, said white collar partner Thomas Amico.

“The upheaval at the #US government's #Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, aka CISA, took another twist on Tuesday, as it moved to reinstate staffers it had #fired over the past few weeks - specifically those still in their probationary period - though they've been benched on paid leave for now.

Last week, a senior penetration tester at CISA claimed his 100-plus-strong #RedTeam as well as its support workers were dismissed after Elon #Musk's Trump-blessed cost-trimming #DOGE unit pulled the plug on a federal government contract; a second #CISA red team was also said to have been cut soon after.

The cyber-agency quickly confirmed it had indeed dumped a number of workers, and said its remaining red teams will continue to operate as usual.”

The sacking of #tech workers continues.
