David Autor: Why are there still so many jobs?
About this film
Here's a paradox you don't hear much about: despite a century of creating machines to do our work for us, the proportion of adults in the US with a job has consistently gone up for the past 125 years. Why hasn't human labor become redundant and our skills obsolete? In this talk about the future of work, economist David Autor addresses the question of why there are there still so many jobs and comes up with a surprising, hopeful answer.
