Technological advancements and the industrial revolution 4.0 brought drastic changes in industry trends, where developments were no longer linear but exponential in nature. This revolution is a disturbing era of innovation, where this era is developing very rapidly, thus bringing the transformation of the labor market in a more dynamic direction that results in the transformation of industries by sector. This results in a change in business character, where there are some types of conventional jobs that are disappearing, but new types of jobs, skills, and expertise have also emerged.
The industrial revolution 4.0 can be a special threat to workers who do not have the skills to adapt to new types of work. Because every society undergoing this industrial revolution is not ready, they have to be confronted with a new system or job.
In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 much human work could be replaced by robots or artificial intelligence. Recurring and memorizing work has begun to erode by the development of automation technology, robots and artificial intelligence. there are some human skills that are not easily replaced by machines such as empathy, creativity, and analytical expertise on complex problems. Therefore, to become a superior human resource in the current technological era, individuals need to hone this ability by continuing to take advantage of technological developments.
In the case of the head of engineering whose salary is smaller than a barista can be analyzed from the entity of the company and the ability of the individual. Jobs in the production department that are repetitive and memorize are very vulnerable to be replaced by robots, with the aim of producing cost efficiency. But it's different if you become an engineering at an offshore oil company, of course, the salary will be greater, because of the complexity of the problems and problem solving that might be faced. While the barista profession involves creativity, senses, aesthetics, and interactions with customers that cannot be duplicated by robots. Baristas in coffee shops are the key products produced that can attract consumers, so the salary is high.
For now, the contribution of labor (engineering) can affect the GDP of a country but without an increase in skills, it is impossible for a worker to continue to survive doing repetitive work that has great potential to be replaced by digitalization and automation in the future.
In the future, baristas can also be an influential factor for GDP if the government is seriously working on making the coffee shop icon a country and a culture of drinking coffee socialized en masse. So the totality government is working on starting from coffee plantations, drones to cultivate coffee, coffee garden water systems, coffee transportation modes, coffee packaging industry, civet coffee producers. Only from which side do you see.
To turn the wheels of the economy, citizens must make as many projects as possible. We take the example in the country of China, in Guangzhou, almost all the trees were installed with chips just to measure oxygen levels and other air data. It seems that it is not something very important when the project is run by the government because as long as it can turn the wheels of the economy, it is beneficial for the community and solving problems even though it looks unreasonable that the project will be financed by the Chinese Government.
In China, project-based money printing and business culture are supported by the government with easing regulations but the money is still carefully monitored and business preparations prepared from upstream to downstream.
