Evolving From Information To InsightEssay Preview: Evolving From Information To InsightReport this essayOne important issue surrounding the increasing plethora of information, and the increasing need to manage information is the changing of our workforce. It seems that less than two centuries ago Adam Smith talked about the division of labor between humans, but with the increasing levels of technology and information management it now seems that there is a new division which is between people and computers. Also, there is a growing division within human labor itself, a divide between those who can and those who cannot do valued work in an economy filled with computers. As we progress, it seems that information technology is reshaping the U.S. labor market: the mix of occupations, the skills required to perform an occupation, the way work is organized and labor productivity.
The Problem
Why are we living in a more fragmented and competitive business world than we thought? Today, our employees and customers are working a lot more hours than they did 20 years ago. When working in a busy, repetitive world, you find people who would want a few hundred fewer hours to spend on the computer a year later. I want to help you see how this may affect you. Let me begin by stating that a lot of our current jobs will take a while to fully evolve, particularly because of these large technology companies. My organization, which focuses on technology products, software, and services as well as the many other jobs that require IT training, has seen a tremendous growth in the number of IT jobs over the past five years.
There is evidence to suggest that today, just about every other working part time or IT industry in the U.S. is seeing steady growth. As businesses take part in the new, more competitive nature of their careers (e.g., online, social networking), a large number of highly skilled and experienced IT workers are on the increase. As the companies move further into the full range of software, engineering and service industries, the more skilled and experienced IT workers and more experienced IT managers around the country are going to make hiring decisions more difficult for many of these new industries. As companies develop faster and more advanced systems, they will increasingly have a better fit with the new and emerging jobs market.
In fact, the growing workforce in the American aerospace industry suggests the need to strengthen these two areas. Today more than 80 percent of the space activities in the aerospace market are performed by highly skilled companies, and that number has remained consistent throughout the past decade and more. The need for more skilled and experienced engineers is important, but more than ever, businesses need to realize that we need an increasingly complex and competitive economy. Because we only move into it when we are truly happy with the results we’ve done, the more skilled and experienced people are going to push for more flexibility.
And it’s becoming extremely difficult for the employees and customers who work on those high volume operations to realize their dreams because that type of business model is no longer viable. A lot of their ideas or skills that have been trained in this new economy have to come from other jobs, which means that we are seeing a huge concentration of jobs with few more available to them outside of the aerospace industry. This is an enormous potential for this new economy, and we’re seeing an end to a huge boom in the aerospace industry. But, we are seeing these massive jobs be displaced by the skills and skill necessary to successfully and effectively manage and operate a profitable and highly automated business environment. The number of jobs that aren’t available to those who have the talent, ability and money to manage business on a full capacity basis will be shrinking even further at this point.
The question is whether we are simply making more investments and taking steps to improve our ability to serve our customers and customers’ needs as well as our ability to keep that business growing. These investments need to happen faster, and the ability to manage our businesses needs to be more open and transparent around the company community throughout our company.
So, I want to make it clear to you, for all Americans, that no matter how successful or successful a company or product is in any sector of our economy, employees and customers are increasingly coming here to compete, to build better and better relationships, to grow our businesses and our businesses for the better, and to succeed.

For most of economic history, technical innovation involved machines replacing humans in performing physical tasks, however cognitive task, the information processing that is a part of all work, remained largely as part of the human tasks, that seems to be decreasing and a lot of information processing can now be done by “machines that can think.” The fact that technology and computers are replacing the need for humans is turning out to be double edged sword. I dont believe that computers have or will create mass unemployment, but they have created a major upheaval in the nature of human work. As recently as 1970, more than half of employed U.S. adults worked in two broad occupational categories: blue-collar jobs and clerical jobs. These jobs supported middle, and lower-middle-class families most of which were high school graduates. Today, less than 40 percent of adults have blue-collar or clerical jobs and many of these jobs require at least some college education . The computerization of work has played a significant role in this change. Had the rest of the economy remained unchanged the decline in these jobs may have created a lot of unemployment, instead computers have created a new category of jobs requiring a new set of skills.
Other than changing the kinds of jobs available, computers are rearranging tasks within jobs. For example the role of a secretary other than performing and coordinating an offices administrative activities used to involve a great deal routine work, and now many secretaries now provide training and orientation to new staff, conduct research on the Internet, and learn to operate new office technologies. It seems that the ability to apply well-understood
