Robots are taking the places of the poor

Income inequality soared from 2010-2015 between him 20% of the wealthiest households and the 20% of the poorest in the US. The gap between the two categories has grown rapidly by 29.200 dollar. annually on 189.000 dollar. the space between it 2010-2015, according to an investigation by the Bloomberg news agency. But of great interest is the fact that income inequality has widened due to the phenomenon of automation that has eliminated jobs, low-skilled workers. Computers and robots tend to replace low-skilled workers, while on the contrary, they act as complements for highly skilled workers. According to Sand Sparber, associate professor and head of the department of economics at Colgate university "new technological findings have contributed to the replacement of low- and medium-skilled workers, while they act as a supplement for workers in very highly skilled industries".
But this radical change may continue. According to research published last March by PwC, the 38% of US jobs is at risk of being automated by its beginnings 2030. In fact, said research points out that in the US, the risk of automation is greater than in Britain. Indicatively, the financial and insurance industry in the US will undergo greater changes than in Britain, since the workers in Geraia Albion have a higher level of expertise in the financial industry. However, the industries in the US most exposed to the risk of automation are trade, transport and processing, as the level of workers in these industries is lower. Companies' habit of hiring part-time workers widens income inequality. The three US regions with the greatest inequality between households are in California (San Jose, San Francisco), in Austin and Seattle.
