Robots and Artificial Intelligence Poised to Man 60 Percent of Nevada Jobs by 2035?

Robots and Artificial Intelligence Poised to Man 60 Percent of Nevada Jobs by 2035?

CARSON CITY, Nev. – In its ongoing campaign to educate and prepare Nevada businesses and community members on the rapidly changing economic environment within the Silver State, the Nevada Economic Development Conference (NVEDC) scheduled for Sept. 11-13 will highlight a discussion into the future of job loss due to technological advances and automation. Dr. Johannes Moenius and Dr. Jess Chen, both from the University of the Redlands, will address these issues and more during their session on Tuesday, September 12, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

While past analysis of job loss due to automation has focused on the Rust Belt, new research from Moenius and Chen shows that coming decades will see high concentrations of job loss in low-wage positions such as food preparation, office/administration and sales. It is estimated that by 2035, more than half of U.S. jobs will be susceptible to automation. Further, the Las Vegas and Reno Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) could see job losses of up to 65 percent, due to their dependency on these lower income positions.

Home Grown Talent Successor of Pediatric Dental Practice

On August 16, 2016, Dr. Parsons took ownership of Valley Pediatric Dentistry and, along with her team, will be providing Northern Nevada youth with exceptional pediatric dental care. If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Parsons, we recommend that you do. And, if you are looking for an exceptional pediatric dentist, look no further. Dr. Parsons and her friendly staff manage to put even the most anxious little patient, and their parents, at ease and manage to make dental care FUN!

Dr. Parsons is a strong proponent of good dental health and believes that the biggest obstacles for patients are appropriate treatment options and education on the importance of oral hygiene and its long-term effect on health.  She grew up in Virginia City and has seen first hand the challenges associated with rural living and accessing dental care due to time constraints and distance to service providers. She feels that by properly engaging the entire family with fun, effective care and prevention strategies, parents and their children will be equipped to combat the daily distractions and challenges of dental care.

So we say, “Congrats Dr. Parsons!.” We couldn’t be more happy for you and your fabulous team at Valley Pediatric Dentistry.
