The short article by Richard Works refers to a study conducted by economists Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo for the NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research). The study analyzed the effect that industrial robot usage had on labor markets from 1990 to 2007. Based on the summary of the Acemoglu-Restrepo contained in this short article by Richard Works, please answer the question below this text. Historically, we have found that the addition of technology to production methods has both assisted labor by making production easier as well as displaced some labor with machines as fewer workers were now needed to get the job done. However, historically, the end result of adding technology was greater production, new demand, economic growth, and new job opportunities for the displaced workers. In recent years, the addition of robotics and artificial intelligence has added a new dimension to the relationship between technology, labor, and employment. The use of robotics, although still quite small in the U.S. workplace, is expected to increase sharply in the coming years. The analysis also considered gender, industry, occupation, education, and wage percentiles. Question: Which of the below IS NOT one of the conclusions (findings) of the Acemoglu & Restrepo study? 1. Negative effects are seen in all occupations except for managerial positions. 2. Relatively larger decreases will be found in blue-collar jobs that have routine manual operations, such as assembly workers, transportation workers, and machinists. 3. The expected negative impact of the use of robotics in production will be greater upon female workers than upon male workers. 4. The negative impacts slightly diminish as a worker’s education level increases, and no impact exists for workers with graduate degrees.
