How ‘upskilling’ is changing the workforce and salaries

The rise of artificial intelligence and automation has led to major changes in the workforce, but it's also created new opportunities for people to “upskill” - which can come with higher pay. NBC’s Vicky Nguyen reports for TODAY.

    @shiptj01 That's not how upskilling works when a company pays for it. You're thinking of attending a for-profit college. Upskilling when a company pays for it is a modern buzzword for employee training or tuition reimbursement. It's not even a new concept. Companies used to do this in the 1950s when they promoted from within.

    The issue being these people finding new positions within a company are few and far in between. When you have a warehouse full of workers, only a small percentage will have the ambition to seek these newer positions. The biggest things these companies are looking at financially are work injuries, paid vacations/time-off/sick pay, retirement contributions, health insurance, union strikes, and lawsuits, to name a few. None of which a robot will ever need aside from the occasional breakdown. And if it can't be repaired, it will just be replaced with no complaints from the robot......

Then, when the trucks drive themselves in 5-10 years, she'll have to "pivot" again, and start from zero again. This is not "upskilling", this is getting fired and finding a new job, for every "Jackie" out there, there were 30 "others" that are out of luck.

    It seems that it is for current employees only. I met with a walmart store HR manager in person who didn't seem to know anything about it. She introduced me to one of the workers who had just gone through the program but didn't make the cut. Apparently, you have to be a full time employee for at least one year to become eligible to apply. Go to your local Wal-Mart and try looking into it yourself. Also, for truck driving jobs in general, look into company training programs. Some companies such as Old Dominion have 6-8 week training programs (for OTR and home every night or local positions) that aren't always advertised. Call companies and ask if they have such a program. It can also benefit you since you most likely don't have experience outside of schooling. Do you have any endorsements? As you know, that is what will boost your pay and give you access to more opportunities. HazMats, oil/gas are the top ones. If you go this route, make sure your driving skills are top notch, safety first!

    I seriously doubt these jobs are going away anytime soon. Most companies don't want to put forth the investment into their own employees, let alone automated equipment. Plus, any repairs will have to be done by a technician from the manufacturer, depending on when they'd be available next. You really think many of these retailers are willing to face the downtime of these expensive toys? I think not.

    330M US citizens, 1k/month = $4 TRILLION/Year. The ENTIRE federal tax system collects $5T/year. So yeah, no, UBI only works if you don't know how math works.

    Better make the trucks fully autonomous as the driverless taxis in San Fransisco and make them run through a special lane with an electrical power source on top of it as the one in Lübeck, Germany.
