Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions (from 31 to 35 ). FUTURE JOBS
The Trump campaign ran on bringing jobs back to American shores, although mechanization has
been the biggest reason for manufacturing jobs' disappearance. Similar losses have led to populist
movements in several other countries. But instead of a pro-job growth future, economists across the board
predict further losses as Al, robotics, and other technologies continue to be ushered in. What is up for
debate is how quickly this is likely to occur.
Now, an expert at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania is ringing the
alarm bells. According to Art Bilger, venture capitalist and board member at the business school, all the
developed nations on earth will see job loss rates of up to 47% within the next 25 years, according to a
recent Oxford study. "No government is prepared," The Economist reports. These include blue and white
collar jobs. So far, the loss has been restricted to the blue collar variety, particularly in manufacturing.
To combat "structural unemployment" and the terrible blow, it is bound to deal the American people,
Bilger has formed a nonprofit called Working Nation, whose mission it is to warn the public and to help
make plans to safeguard them from this worrisome trend. Not only is the entire concept of employment
about to change in a dramatic fashion, the trend is irreversible. The venture capitalist called on
corporations, academia, government, and nonprofits to cooperate in modernizing our workforce.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions (from 31 to 35 ). FUTURE JOBS
The Trump campaign ran on bringing jobs back to American shores, although mechanization has
been the biggest reason for manufacturing jobs' disappearance. Similar losses have led to populist
movements in several other countries. But instead of a pro-job growth future, economists across the board
predict further losses as Al, robotics, and other technologies continue to be ushered in. What is up for
debate is how quickly this is likely to occur.
Now, an expert at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania is ringing the
alarm bells. According to Art Bilger, venture capitalist and board member at the business school, all the
developed nations on earth will see job loss rates of up to 47% within the next 25 years, according to a
recent Oxford study. "No government is prepared," The Economist reports. These include blue and white
collar jobs. So far, the loss has been restricted to the blue collar variety, particularly in manufacturing.
To combat "structural unemployment" and the terrible blow, it is bound to deal the American people,
Bilger has formed a nonprofit called Working Nation, whose mission it is to warn the public and to help
make plans to safeguard them from this worrisome trend. Not only is the entire concept of employment
about to change in a dramatic fashion, the trend is irreversible. The venture capitalist called on
corporations, academia, government, and nonprofits to cooperate in modernizing our workforce.
