Office jobs are among the positions hardest hit by compumation. Word processors and typists will lose about 93,000 jobs over the next few years, while 57,000 secretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC Today, many executives type their own memos and carry their "secretaries" in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks, whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68,000. And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems.
But not everyone who loses a job will end up in the unemployment line. Many will shift to growing positions within their own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecomm business, telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining. She is now a communications technician, earning about $64,000 per year. Of course, if you’ve been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years, and you find yourself replaced by an E-ZPass machine, it may be of little consolation(安慰) to know that the telecomm field is booming.
And that’s just it: The service economy is fading; welcome to the expertise economy. To succeed in the new job market, you must be able to handle complex problems. Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations-air-traffic controller-demand at least a bachelor’s degree.
For those with just a high school diploma, it’s going to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available, what’s left will be the jobs that compumation can’t kill: Computers can’t clean offices, or care for Alzheimer’s patients(老年痴呆病人). But, since most people have the skills to fill those positions, the wages stay painfully low, meaning compumation could drive an even deeper wedge(楔子) between the rich and poor. The best advice now: Never stop learning, and keep up with new technology.
For busy adults, of course, that can be tough. The good news is that the very technology that’s reducing so many jobs is also making it easier to go back to school—without having to sit in a classroom. So-called Internet distance learning is hot, with more than three million students currently enrolled, and it’s gaining credibility with employers.
Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer? Check the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is available online at bls.gov.
From the first paragraph we can infer that all of the following persons are easily thrown into unemployment EXCEPT
选项
A、secretaries.
B、stock clerks.
C、managers.
D、wholesalers.
答案
C
解析
本题为推论题,经理。参见文章第1段,其大意是:办公室的工作职位最受计算机自动化的冲击。文字处理人员和打字员这两个岗位将在最近几年失去93000个就业职位,而57000个秘书的职位将消失。这都怪个人电脑:今天,许多经理主管人员都能够自己用键盘打备忘录,并且随手携带自己的“掌上秘书”。存货管理员的日子也不好过,其职位可能会减少68000个。同时,制造业的雇员和批发商也正在被计算机化系统所替代。根据上下文,经理们没有提到失业的危险,由此可推断正确答案为C。
