Slowly day by day, common jobs are being taken over by machines. Registers, bankers, factory workers are all examples. Technology is advancing everyday and soon it will be able to fill up more advanced jobs. With the decrease of common daily jobs, there will be an increase in STEM jobs, including computer science programmers who will create the codes to the machines that\u2019ll help fill in jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Looking into the future, everybody talks about job loss. Many predict that there will actually be an increase in jobs. For example STEM jobs. STEM is, science, technology, engineering, or math to try to understand how the world works and to solve problems. Their work often involves the use of computers and other tools. Schools now excess in the teaching of STEM which will help alot in the future with technology.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI believe that technology is slowly taking over our lives, but I believe it\u2019s for the better.\u201d says student Omar Salim, but is it really? How about all the other jobs? Factory workers have been losing their jobs ever since the Assembly line. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">America has lost more than 7 million factory jobs since manufacturing employment. The vast majority of the lost jobs, 88 percent, were taken by robots and other homegrown factors that reduce factories needs for human labor.<a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/04\/IMG_1884.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1810 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/04\/IMG_1884-169x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/04\/IMG_1884-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/04\/IMG_1884-768x1365.png 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/04\/IMG_1884-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/04\/IMG_1884-280x498.png 280w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/04\/IMG_1884-660x1173.png 660w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/04\/IMG_1884.png 1242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">while there are fewer jobs, more is getting done, manufacturing employees are better educated, better paid and producing more valuable products.
