      ab: Part of a special issue on the relationship between computers and employment. A historical study of the U.S. computer industry shows that computer manufacturers add workers to their payrolls and then discard them when the products they manufacture undergo increased demand, technological change, and international competition. After the introduction of the world's first personal computer in 1975, the industry experienced many years of huge employment growth. From 1984 to 1995, however, the computer manufacturing industry lost 32 percent of its workforce. The writer discusses some of the reasons behind this decline.
