An increase in automation, especially in service industries, may prove
to be an economic legacy of the pandemic. Businesses from factories to
fast-food outlets to hotels turned to technology last year to keep
operations running amid social distancing requirements and contagion
fears. Now the outbreak is ebbing in the United States, but the
difficulty in hiring workers at least at the wages that employers
are used to paying is providing new momentum for automation.

Once a job is automated, its pretty hard to turn back, said Casey
Warman, an economist at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia who has
studied automation in the pandemic.

Demands by unskilled workers-- like Jennny-- for higher wages may just
lead to no jobs for them at all.

When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut.
