Report Warns Of Job Threats By Automation, "Offshoring"

Ball State University

The Ball State University Center for Business and Economic Research, along with another state policy study group, delved into the issues of two forces that could affect the work force of the future:  automation and "offshoring" jobs.  The Center's executive director, economist Michael Hicks, came on "Regionally Speaking" on Tuesday to talk about the study, which compared the risks in urban areas to those in rural areas of the Hoosier State.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
