: How were job losses tackled after industrial revolution.

548 views

Recent AI discussions makes it almost certain that jobs would be affected. It makes me wonder what happened when suddenly humans were replaced by machines. Assuming a lot of jobs were lost was it that lots of people suddenly found it difficult to afford meals or was it not disastrous at all and was a smoot h transition? Can we compare it to today’s AI revolution in terms of adjustment with jobs?

the jobs werent “Lost ” per se, they moved towards the cities where the factories were and shifted to meet the requirements of an industriliazing society(agrarian jobs became manfucaturing jobs for instance).

was it a smooth transition? Absolutely not. but it had to happen regardless.
