虽然新技术对某些人来说可能意味着失业,但其更重要的作用则是降低价格,增加需求,并在“全新领域”中创造新的工作岗位。这是美国国家科学院与国家工程学院在一份由工业界与劳联—产联(美国的最大工业联合会)资助的一份联合研究报告中得出的结论。该报告认为,技术上的革新的结果是使就业增加而不是减少。当今美国的失业现象不应归咎于新技术,而应归之于美国的“进口增加,出口疲软。”随着美国失去其在国际技术转让中的领先地位,它的日益下降的竞争力也被认为是使失业增加的一个重要因素。
While new technologies may mean unemployment for some people, their more important role is to lower prices, increase demand and create new jobs in “new areas.” This is the conclusion drawn by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in a joint study funded by industry and the AFL-CIO (the largest industrial federation in the United States). The report argues that the result of technological innovations is to increase employment rather than reduce it. Unemployment in the United States today should not be attributed to new technologies but to the United States's “increased imports and weaker exports.” As the United States loses its leading position in international technology transfer, its declining competitiveness is also seen It is an important factor that increases the unemployment rate.
