# Analysis of Automation's Impact on the Labor Force My research indicates that the transition to automated jobs presents a significant social challenge, particularly for low-skilled workers. The burden of automation disproportionately affects those with less experience and lower pay. New skills often must be learned on the job, further exacerbating the issue. To mitigate this challenge, community colleges and trade groups should collaborate. This collaboration involves creating work-study programs that enable concurrent classroom and practical on-the-job training. Certification programs also play a critical role, as they provide a standardized method for employers to recognize the skills gained through experience. These are crucial policies to counter the negative impacts of automation. Ultimately, these strategies can help society in adapting to the shifts and demands created by the use of automation instead of creating a sense of panic. **Questions** **Question 1:** Choose the correct option about the impacts of automation: 1.
