The software and engineering industries: threatened by technological change?
Part of a special issue on the relationship between computers and employment. Since 1990, employment growth has slowed in the software and engineering industries. Jobs in each of these industries depend, to a large extent, on technological progress. Ironically, technology may also reduce the numb...

Since 1990, employment growth has slowed in the software and engineering industries. Jobs in each of these industries depend, to a large extent, on technological progress. Ironically, technology may also reduce the number of jobs in these industries, as advanced computer tools cut the amount of work required to design a product, be it largely intellectual (as in the case of a software application) or physical (as in the case of an office product, a household appliance, or a new weapon). The writer examines other factors, such as reduced defense expenditure, that have an impact on the number of jobs in the engineering and computer service industries. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
