How Work has Changed
Technological innovation
Policy decision
Global financial crisis (GFC)
Disease outbreak
Technological innovation has seen several people lose their job as a result of the automation of services. In an attempt to reduce the operation cost, most organizations have adopted technology leading to a reduction in the number of employees. The 2008- 2009 financial crisis that lead to the collapse of major companies such as Lehman Brothers profoundly affected youths due to massive loss of jobs and reduction in the opportunities (Peter, 2017, 58). Moreover, policy decisions have greatly influenced job opportunities, especially in abroad. As indicated in the Video, Covid- 19 has changed the people's work and made several people lose their jobs. Currently, several people no longer go to their offices, and instead, they work from home.
Impact on Financial Industry
Stiff competition for jobs
More innovations
Joblessness
Most of the financial operations, such as accounting, are now completed using software’s. Therefore, having accounting skills alone will no longer be enough. Therefore one must have additional capabilities such as information technology knowledge. This has led to stiff competition in the job market (Ruud and Ricardo, 2016, 41). The reduction in the number of jobs in the financial sector makes people look for alternatives to earning, which can be possible through innovation. Besides, there will be more jobless people.

Change in place of work
More profits for the companies                     
Gap between poor and rich increases
The automation will reduce the number of working hours as an individual will have to serve a few customers per day (Kumar, 2016, 12).

The gap between the rich and the poor has been going up and is likely to continue. This is because of the reduction in the sources of income and the increased cost of living. The organizations recovering from financial crisis have reduced the number of workers so as to maximize its profits.
What Next
People will now have to find alternatives for earning a living. Even though technology has resulted in a reduction in the number of jobs, it has created more opportunities indirectly. For instance, freelancing has created job opportunities for millions of people globally. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the benefits of technology have become evident. The organizations that depend on physical contact with their clients have billions of dollars in losses. Technology and innovation have created more opportunities, and success depends on how one has positioned himself or herself to tap such opportunities.
