Automation is the key to the future but for those left behind, AndrewYang has a plan.
It's standard by now for any bio of Andrew Yang, the 44-year-old New York businessman who is running a longshot campaign for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States, to include a smirking reference to the"Robot Apocalypse." Yang, however, is definitely not kidding. The central theme of his campaign is that technology is going to continue to put more and more Americans out of work—with devastating social consequences that we have not prepared for as a nation.
Yang has steadily polled in single digits along with several other candidates but he has shown fundraising strength and his message has proven strong enough to keep him in the race thus far. Newsweek recently asked him about his ideas for mitigating the worst of what he believes will be a huge and inevitable disruption in how Americans work and live and how we prepare today's children for the workforce of the future.
We also need to stop overprescribing college. Only 30 percent of people will get a degree, and that degree isn't the path to a secure future it once was. A recent study found that nearly 43 percent of recent college graduates are underemployed, not working in a job that requires that degree. You have to create paths for students other than college through vocational, technical and apprenticeship programs.
