　　Passage One

　　Office jobs are among the positions hardest hit by compumation (計(jì) 算機(jī) 自動(dòng) 化). Word processors and typists will lose about 93,000 jobs over the next few years, while 57,000 secretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC: Today, many executives type their own memos and carry there” secretaries” in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks, whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68,000. And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems.

　　But not everyone who loses a job will end up in the unemployment line. Many will shift to growing positions within their own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecomm business, telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining. She is now a communications technician, earning about $ 64,000 per year. Of course, if you’ve been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years, and you find yourself replaced by an E-Z Pass machine, it may be of little consolation(安慰) to know that the telecom field is booming.

　　And that’s just it: The service economy is fading: welcome to the expertise(專(zhuān)門(mén)知識(shí)) economy. To succeed in the new job market, you must be able to handle complex problems. Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations---air-traffic controller---demand at least a bachelor’s degree. For those with just a high school diploma(畢業(yè)證書(shū)).It’s going to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available. what’s left be the jobs that compumations can’t kill, computers cant clean offices, or for Alzheimer’s patients(老年癡呆病人). But, since most people have the skills to fill those positions, the wages stay painfully low, meaning compumation could drive an even deeper wedge (楔子) between the and poor, The best advice now, Never stop learning, and keep up with new technology.

　　For busy adults of course that can be tough, The good news is that very technology that’s reducing so many jobs is a making it easier to go back to school without having to sit in a classroom. So called internet distance learning is hot, with more than three million students currently enrolled, and it’s gaining credibility with employers.

　　Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer ? Check the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is available online at bls.gov.
