Alicia is about 5 foot 10. She's very thin. She has straight brown hair. She sometimes wears her hair in

hat will work in the United States people may change their careers many times

W be like in the future? No one knows

exactly, of course, but everyone agrees
that there will be some major changes. Here are
some predictions:
• There will be more older people in the
workplace. Why? There will be fewer young
people in the U.S. population, and older
workers will retire later.
• People will change their jobs more often. It's
normal now for people to make one or two
big career changes in their lives. In the future,
before they stop working.
• People will need an education to get a good
job, but a college education won't be enough.
Many college graduates will have to go back
to school for more training, especially if they
change jobs.
• Technology will continue to change the
workplace, but it probably won't make
jobs any easier. Workers in factory jobs will
need more skills because they will have to
understand how to use new technology.

=-

o Everyone thinks there will be important changes in the U.S. workplace.

o There will be more young people in the workplace.
o Most older people will retire sooner. 1.
o These days, people often change their careers once or twice. 2.
o A college education will be less important. 3.

o College graduates will probably need to go back to school. 4.

o Technology will make it a lot easier to work in a factory. Total:

o Factory workers will need to learn new skills. _ _ out of 50
