The main problem workers have today is that if they have a skill, technology can come along that let’s someone with less skill do their job. So the person drops down into a lower skill level of the workforce. The lower skill level groups are constantly getting bigger, so their wages are falling. This is what happened to many non-college educated workers after 1973.
But it also happens to college educated workers. Writers have experienced this. So have musicians. The internet was the technology that came along and made their skill less important. So they dropped into a lower category of the labor force in effect.
To counter-act this, workers have to retrain. They have to learn new skills. Society has to stop growing large pools of unskilled workers at the bottom on purpose. Because the ability of technology to make skills redundant is greater than the ability of most people to acquire new skills, this has been a losing battle for large groups of people.
I co-discovered important results in mathematical finance using algebra, calculus, statistics, probability, and differential equations.
