In The New Division of Labor, Frank Levy and Richard Murnane show how computers are changing the employment landscape and how the right kinds of education can ease the transition to the new job market. The book tells stories of people at work--a high-end financial advisor, a customer service representative, a pair of successful chefs, a cardiologist, an automotive mechanic, the author Victor Hugo, floor traders in a London financial exchange. The authors merge these stories with insights from cognitive science, computer science, and economics to show how computers are enhancing productivity in many jobs even as they eliminate other jobs--both directly and by sending work offshore. At greatest risk are jobs that can be expressed in programmable rules--blue collar, clerical, and similar work that requires moderate skills and used to pay middle-class wages. The loss of these jobs leaves a growing division between those who can and cannot earn a good living in the computerized economy. Left unchecked, the division threatens the nation's democratic institutions. The nation's challenge is to recognize this division and to prepare the population for the high-wage/high-skilled jobs that are rapidly growing in number--jobs involving extensive problem solving and interpersonal communication. Using detailed examples--a second grade classroom, an IBM managerial training program, Cisco Networking Academies--the authors describe how these skills can be taught and how our adjustment to the computerized workplace can begin in earnest. 606 $aLabor supply$xEffect of technological innovations on 606 $aLabor supply$xEffect of automation on 606 $aComputers$xSocial aspects 606 $aEmployees$xEffect of automation on 606 $aAutomation$xEconomic aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLabor supply$xEffect of technological innovations on. 615 0$aLabor supply$xEffect of automation on. 615 0$aComputers$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEmployees$xEffect of automation on. 615 0$aAutomation$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a331.1 686 $aQV 200$2rvk 700 $aLevy$b Frank$f1941-$01053999 701 $aMurnane$b Richard J$0121204 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458139103321 996 $aThe new division of labor$92486294 997 $aUNINA
