Zoraptor Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 That's for New Zealand, we have a big excess of humanities teachers and a major shortage of science and technology teachers. Don't know how it is elsewhere but you'd certainly know the US situation better than I. There's also a shortage of rural teachers and teachers for remote areas but that's more of a fundamental problem (housing available, reduced social aspects etc) than BA grads deciding to go for teaching as there aren't jobs in anything else then finding there aren't jobs there either.

Leferd Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Have you googled Bay Area home prices? While I'm sure bad financial planning and jonesian endeavors are an issue for many, it doesn't change the fact the Bay Area is not affordable. % of homes over $1 million San Francisco: 57% San Jose: 46% Oakland: 20% LA: 16% NY: 12% Seattle: 7% Big city avg 3 https://mobile.twitter.com/ByRosenberg/status/733149291942809600 https://mobile.twitter.com/ByRosenberg/status/733333174986629120 How do people live here without COLA? 1 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leferd Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'm surprised by New York. Is that the city or the state? I would think they would be higher. If it was only Manhattan, it would definitely be higher, but they're including all the buroughs. I still can't get over the fact that 1 in 5 houses in OAKLAND are over a million dollars.

Leferd Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The Hills, Piedmont, and Rockridge neighborhoods have always been swank and Emeryville is tech friendly. But it's West Oakland that has seen the greatest change. History of gang activity, drive-bys, illicit trade....but the tech hipsters are taking over.

Hurlshort Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 McDonald’s ex-CEO: $15/hr minimum wage will unleash the robot rebellion. I read that earlier, it made me laugh. If McDonalds can save money by automating their restaurants, by all means they should do it. It will create a massive boom in robotics jobs. None of this excuses a business from paying a livable wage, particularly one as profitable as McDonalds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I found it interesting that in a little over one year of paying someone $15/hour, you completely pay off the robot in full (2080 x 15 = 31200).

ShadySands Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I've been to a few with the kiosks and they all seemed to still have a full staff. But I wouldn't really know if they were only short by one or two people Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that robot is still going to require regular maintenance and upgrades. It also probably isn't really equipped to handle the customer service aspects. You can probably argue that the average McDonalds isn't equipped for that either, but if their job is no longer about flipping fries, then you would expect them to be able to focus more on the human element.

Gfted1 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 You only need a human in the front end taking orders and dealing with people. Everything from the register on back can be automated. I agree that maintenance would need to be factored in but thats chump change compared to "managing" a human. No rest, no errors. Humans are almost always the weak link in a system, unless you need decision making capabilities. And I think in our lifetime we will see machine even overcome that limitation.

It just seems weird to me that the rationale behind keeping the minimum wage lower is that these jobs are really obsolete. Why are we stifling progress?

To be fair though, most humans tend to be at least passable at human-to-human interaction. 1 "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
