\"\"I think I just read one of the most (brutally) honest and practical articles<\/a> by a guy called Len Kendall, an LA-based marketing executive with a clear penchant for writing. His piece is based on two premises:<\/p>\n

  1. The market no longer allows for employing older workers who deserve higher salaries<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Technology is killing jobs at a very fast pace that will only continue to accelerate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “Thanks to advancements in technology, jobs are becoming more automated. Assuming that we can eventually automate all basic jobs and allow artificial intelligence to conduct more skilled work, there will only be a need for a small group of educated, experienced, but inexpensive workers.”<\/em><\/p>\n

    So what counts as “expensive” workers?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
