rethink-roboticsNew “collaborative” robots are taking work away from humans, as you’ll read below.

Especially since the best fight-back tactic is something you need to do anyway — namely, retrain your workforce to do “smart” jobs instead of manual labor.  

Want specific suggestions? Follow the links below that explain how Huntsville managed to build the country’s second-largest tech workforce.

So why not start in earnest now, while you can still gain an advantage over cities that are slow to start retraining? — Jesse Berst
