While the computer revolution has created hundreds of thousands of
new jobs, it has threatened as many other jobs with obsolescence
and has often caused the displacement of workers by computer-based
machines. Here, Nobel Prize-winning economist Wassily Leontief and
Faye Duchin use the input-output approach, a method that has been
widely applied in examining structural economic change, to analyze
the complex issues surrounding the impact of computer-driven
automation on employment. Following a general discussion of the
impact of automation on employment, they focus on four specific
sectors within the economy--manufacturing, office work, education,
and health care. The input-output approach makes it possible to
draw conclusions regarding both overall employment and the
prospects for individual occupations. Taking account of the
increased need for workers in the production of computer-based
equipment, the authors conclude that by the year 2000 automation
will not cause dramatic unemployment if the economy is able to
achieve a smooth transition from the old to new technologies.
