Technological Employment Cause
A technological employment cause is a employment cause that can be attributed to a technological innovation.
- Context:
- It can (typically) be associated with an Impactful Technological Invention.
- It can range from being a Physical Technological Employment Cause to being a Mental Technological Employment Cause.
- It can be a factor to a Tight Labor Market.
- Example(s):
- the Computer Invention, created Software Programmer Jobs.
- the Airplane Invention, created Airline Mechanic Jobs.
- a Commercial Robot Maker must hire Robot Engineers.
- a Commercial Robot User can expand their frontiers of production (which requires hiring more workers).
- a Consumer that pays less can spend more (increase demand) elsewhere.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- a Technological Unemployment.
- an Economic Boom Employment Cause, that increases demand for therapist workers.

- Our goal is to offer discounted technical training to any former line cook of a restaurant that uses our device. We will certainly need more engineers to design new devices and technicians to service a growing line of automated restaurant solutions. These are the minds that can do this job.

The issue of machines and job displacement has been around for centuries and economists generally accept that technology like ours actually causes an increase in employment. The three factors that contribute to this are 1. the company that makes the robots must hire new employees, 2. the restaurant that uses our robots can expand their frontiers of production which requires hiring more people, and 3. the general public saves money on the reduced cost of our burgers. This saved money can then be spent on the rest of the economy. We take these issues very seriously so please feel free to tell us how we can help with this transition.
