Just recently, the South China Morning Post published an article about tech-driven job disruption.  In that piece, they cited the results of a workshop that was very interesting.  A whopping “74 percent of the people gathered there said they did not feel prepared for the workforce changes ahead.”  They went on and reference a World Economic Forum stat projecting that they expect a loss of 980,000 jobs between now and 2022, and the creation of 1.74 million new jobs that are all due to emerging technologies. Perhaps we should all spend some time and evaluate our skill-set and look at what skills we might need to acquire for our professional work in 2022.
