The New Geography Of Jobs

With the technology advancing, the production of material moved from small shops and homes into large factories for mass-production. This included steel industries that allowed the transfer of “…manufacturing plants away from naturally flowing waters (outside the city) to areas inside and around the cities where more abundant labor was available”.

Most people regard industrialization as a positive development capable of generating great wealth and revitalizing run-down areas. Mention industrialization today, and it brings to mind large factories organized with the latest technologies in mass producing. Along with these visions comes the promise of more jobs for the community, higher rates of pay, and financial stability. One can only think of the positive influences on a community that the opening of a new factory could bring, but during what some have deemed the Industrial Revolution, industrialization only meant using machines and new power sources to accomplish a task formerly done by human and animal power. Our modern day conception of industrialization can greatly influence our

industrialization was a big step for the world. “The first had come on a wave of new inventions in iron making, in textiles, in the centrally powered factory, and in new ways of organizing business and work. In the latter 19th century, a second wave of technical and organizational advances carried industrial society to new levels” (Document 3). As industrialization grows, people are inventing more and more items, which changed civilization. Examples are the telephone and the railroad, which have been recreated

Industrialization, good thing? Jeffrey Liu Hist 152 31200  “Industrialization refers to a process that transformed agrarian and handicraft-centered economies into economies distinguished by industry and machine manufacture. ”(Traditions & Encounters) Due to industrialization, cities had supported urbanization and migration, and job opportunities were increasing.

In the essay titled “Blue Collar Brilliance” author Mike Rose argues that many fields of work involve using a high amount of mental cognition to work efficiently and effectively, including working class occupations. Rose gives two anecdotes of personal family members who used their “blue collar brilliance” to succeed in their respective fields of work. While many people are quick to assume less schooling for a career requires less intelligence, Rose shows how even manual labor can use a high amount of intelligence with a story of his uncle who was promoted from an entry level line worker to a supervisor for a whole department. The employees who use their intelligence and cognition are the ones who are accomplished and promoted even if they

    Some of the positive effects of Industrialization seen near the end of the 19th century and 20th century can still be seen today.  Many job opportunities were created after power machines and

This allows the industry to be better connected and function as a whole to allow for best productivity, volume, revenue, and rates.

As time passes by, with everything seeming in place, we push aside real life. Activities we like to pretend are not occurring are put on the bottom of the list. War, deadly tsunamis, earthquakes, terrorism, economic crisis, all real life changes which have occurred and are occurring now. People are becoming less knowledgeable than ever when it comes to geography. “Given the accelerating pace of change on our increasingly crowded planet, this may not be surprising- even if it is disturbing,” states Harm de Blij in his book “Why Geography Matters: More Than Ever.” While De Blij tells us how illiterate we have become to geography, he also explains to readers how American people could benefit from the knowledge of Geography in specific situations.

An agricultural town, Lynn, quickly grew to be an industrialized city where manufacturers were producing quicker than households could even imagine. The industry grew so quickly and became so relied on that working

With manufacturing moving overseas in the past several decades and America currently having a trade deficit it would be difficult for Hartford to redevelop itself as one of the most important manufacturing cities in America. On the contrary, Hartford can use its past to place itself as one of the most important manufacturing cities in America. For instance, it can argue the fact that Colt came up with the idea of mass production and started running his business out of Hartford, that it was the city of Hartford who was the first to place itself as an industrial city in America. As the United States also faces challenges in regaining some of its success in the past back in manufacturing, it must end the habit of companies shipping all of the manufacturing jobs overseas and restore the

The world is entering a new age—the age of total industrialism. Some countries are far along the road, many more are just beginning the journey. But everywhere, at a faster pace or a slower pace, the peoples of the world are on the march towards

Mankind’s interrelation with manufacturing systems has a long history. Nowadays we see manufacturing systems and their applications as systems in which goods are produced and delivered to the suitable places where we can obtain them. We are conscious of the fact that everything we consume or obtain is produced at some facilities. We are also aware of the fact that many components involve at these processes such as laborers, capital, and machines. Nevertheless, majority of people might not realize how these processes have developed all along this time and changed our daily lives surprisingly. Manufacturing, as a crucial part of the industry, has always had overwhelming impacts on our life habits, societal

In America, we have a lot. We have food that we can go to that store to get. We never run out! We have nice homes. Even though some people don't think they are. Typically we have everything we need there. Electricity is another thing that we can get. We can get heating . We have all of the necessities appliances that you need. Phones and other electronics a huge in the US. And almost everyone has one. We have welfare in this country, and that means that if you don't make enough money to get for, and other things you need you can get it and you only have to pay for somethings. Here we are able to get jobs now matter you gender, race, or age. We are so blessed in America because of all of these amazing things.

After reading the article "Why Nerd and Nurses are Taking Over the U.S. Economy" by Derek Thompson, I realized that all the statistics, studies and info could be scaled down to Erie Pennsylvania. For example in recent years Hamot has grown a lot, Lecom has become more popular, Urgent Care mini hospitals have sprouted up, and colleges like Gannon University have grown and specialize in the medical field and some technology majors. On the other hand mathematicians are going to slowly starting to die out. Things like fast consumer computers are making more and more complex equations more accessible to be solved at home. Super computers are running the big numbers these days not mathematicians. Manufacturing is different, although the employees

The article Innovation: Location Matters discusses how the challenges for competiveness in advanced nations and regions has changed. It elaborates on how organizations must create and commercialize a stream of new products and processes that shift the technology frontier. Companies must be able to innovate to sustain competitive advantage by acquiring and deploying the best current technology. Location matters for innovation, and companies must broaden their approaches to the management of innovation accordingly: by developing and commercializing innovation in the most attractive location, taking active steps to access locational strengths, and proactively enhancing the environment for innovation and commercialization in locations where they operate (Porter & Stern, 2001).
