Automation is one of the driving factors behind the development of the Manna Project. Many of those involved feel that automation is a threat to the employment force. Over the last year, we saw the production of many studies on this topic. The range of what is expect varies greatly which is not surprising since predicting the future is an impossible task.

Nevertheless, we are seeing a present state where 20% of the global population still lives in total poverty. Almost half the children on the planet, 1 billion, are mired in this condition through no fault of their own.

We also see the situation in the Western countries also starting to deteriorate. Many are having a tougher time paying their bills as wages remain stagnant. This is having an impact on the personal finances of many families.

Automation is most likely going to make this worse. The numbers might differ yet the consensus is that jobs are going to be eliminated, at least in the short term (10-15 years). It is how many that is debated.

This article provides a detailed analysis about the situation in the State of New York. It breaks down how many jobs are at risk of changing, if not completely eliminated. The article also delves into the different categories that are in the greatest danger.

Overall, this presents a fairly accurate picture of what is expected in most of the Western counties. It is a worthy read.
