One generally doesn't think of teens as vulnerable to obsolescence on the job. In fact, they are.
No group faces higher vulnerability to automation and AI than young people, says WSJ Leadership Expert Mark Muro. Photo: iStock Photo By Mark Muro May 22, 2019 12:50 pm ET Mark Muro is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
Early summer and postcollege jobs are a rite of passage for young people. Such jobs are pivotal moments when young people learn to engage in work and life as productive, participating adults. However, significant occupational, geographical and demographic variation lies beneath the relatively manageable aggregate figures and bears heavily on the job prospects of the young. For example, the sharp segmentation of the labor market by gender, age and race ensures that some demographic groups are much more concentrated than others in the kinds of low-paying, and repetitive work most susceptible to automation.
That’s not to say all of these jobs will disappear. But it is to say that there may well be fewer of these mainstay jobs in the future and that they will become at once more precarious, more demanding and harder to land.
