AUTOMATION NO THREAT

The effects of advances in tech
nology have caused the American
worker to fear unemployment.
The truth is that new technology
reduces and eleminages need tor
certain kinds of skilled workers.
But il also requires more and
new types of skilled labor to plan
and make models of increasingly
complex machines ii creates, and
to produce, service, control and
maintain them. Increasing en-
ployment of firemen, scheduling
clerks, production technicians, in
spectors, trouble shooters and
utility men to make up for lack
of flexibility of semi-skilled
workers may also be expected TO
continue.
