The Work of the Future: Building Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines

This book, based on the findings of the MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future, argues that technological change is not inherently job-destroying but rather requires institutional innovations to complement it.

The authors propose skills programs emphasizing work-based and hybrid learning, federal investment in R&D, and policy reforms to enhance job quality and ensure that the benefits of technological progress are shared equitably among workers.

The book is divided into two parts: the first part provides an overview of labor markets and the impact of technologies, while the second part examines necessary policy reforms to achieve shared prosperity and better job quality in the US labor market.
