Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Higher wages will follow as more will be expected from the employees that remain.
Based upon personal experience, I'm not so sure about that. In 1979 I was a mine engineer and primarily did mine surveys. I moved to another mine but came back in 1981 for a bit. When I came back technology had advanced enough that my former survey assistant was now doing the surveying. No change in pay for him, but the work was dumbed down quite a bit. All he did was plug in a cartridge with previously determined coordinates and push buttons. No additional education required, as the operator no longer needed to know mathematical principles.
