As an increasing number of jobs are relegated to robotics, what is the future of work? Will employment become obsolete and, with its predicted scarcity, where will the majority of the population find meaning and the financial resources necessary to realize that meaning once found? As the industrial revolution swept the country and fears that the future of employment looked bleak, work continued. Jobs changed and workers developed new skill sets to meet evolving demands. In this podcast, I Am Interchange; the Montana Governor's Office of Economic Development; and esteemed panelists Rob Irizarry, Deano Roberts, Sandra Boham, and Henri Pellerin explore the good, the bad and the altogether unimaginable Future of Work.

As it turns out, economics isn’t the study of money, but rather one of human actions, behavior, and the incentives that drive them. As local entrepreneur, economist, and co-owner of Dean’s Zesty Booch Henri Pellerin relates, studying economics can shed a lot of light on oneself, others, and how the world works. There is some sort of logical process happening, some measurable motivation that guides humans on the common path from where they are to the “preferable state” of where they want to be. In this podcast, I Am Interchange Founder Tate Chamberlin sits down with Henri Pellerin to discuss economics, the evolution of work, and humanity’s place and purpose in an uncertain future. Henri is on our Future of Work podcast, to be featured next.
