Tales from the New Shop Floor: Inside the Real Jobs of the Information Economy "The effect of computers on the workforce: Are computers providing us with greater freedom or is the new information age creating a new type of wage slave? It's a key question facing young Australians as they try to establish careers in the new economy of information and service industries. In a book launched in Sydney today, Tales from the New Shop Floor, Peter Lewis from the New South Wales Labour Council traces the working lives of 15 young people, and his conclusions are remarkably optimistic. He argues the information age is breeding a new generation of self reliant, highly skilled workers who favour freedom over job security."--PM Archive, Wednesday, 26 April, 2000, Reporter: John Stewart |
