Working It: Disruption Rules : 2020 Edition

The Future of Work may be as important and impactful change to people after climate change. Climate change is too distant. Work is too present. Let's explain this.Climate change deals with the possibility of human extinction and seems far in the future. The Future of Work impacts people on a daily basis since it deals with our human needs, wants, and expectations. The Future of Work is now! So, we'd say that the Future of Work is important and rele-vant to the vast majority of people worldwide.So, what's important about the Future of Work? McKinsey, the global con-sulting firm, estimates that between the present and 2030, 75 to 375 mil-lion workers need to switch jobs that will require new skills and new edu-cation just due to automation and tech disruption: "In terms of magnitude, it's akin to coping with the large-scale shift from agricultural work to manufacturing that occurred in the early 20th century in North America and Europe, and more recently in China. But in terms of who must find new jobs, we are moving into uncharted territory. Those earlier workforce transformations took place over many decades, allowing older workers to retire and new entrants to the workforce to transition to the growing industries. But the speed of change today is potentially faster. The task con-fronting every economy, particularly advanced economies, will like-ly be to retrain and redeploy tens of millions of midcareer, middle-age workers." Work Lesson Earned: Goldman Sachs estimates: "1/3 of the workforce will transfer to new occupations over the next five years". So, are you future-ready? Pay attention to your Future of Work?
