There are many things that Fina Kao work concerns in a donut shop engaged in an age of fear of spreading the virus. The old customer that has dragged through the brown linoleum floor of the store, ordered a glazed donut, and then coughs. The parents sat at a table for a breakfast sandwich sharing as a small child touches the tables and the floor and the drinks fridge with dirty fingers. Regular customers who come and who knows Kao travel every year in China, one of which goes to the window to sit and cut nails. The fact that California now has 53 confirmed cases of the crown, more than any other state. But Kao and his colleagues at Allen Star Donuts in the Richmond district of San Francisco do not have much choice but to show the work, their shield only by potential crown carriers of a bottle 24 oz of disinfectant aloe for hands that they put in close the register. Kao is working five days a week 5: 00-13: 00 “If we do not do the job,” says Kao 31 “unpaid.” While employees of companies like Twitter are encouraged to work from home, to protect the virus as it is known COVID-19, people like Kao, whose jobs depend on the interaction of people, feel more than ever exposed. In this way the spread of the crown is a growing gap in the economy of the United States among workers with university education whose jobs are executed from anywhere on a computer, and less educated workers who increasingly find themselves in jobs that require the human contact. since 1980 as a distribution automation in the workplace and companies have sent more jobs overseas, economists say polarized labor market, with employment growing in positions of high wage jobs that require a lot education and in jobs with low wages that do not. Many of the low-wage jobs available are the kind of service work is not routine that can not be automated or outsourced, things change a diaper such as office cleaning, a package that offers a kitchen an omelet. It is updated here with our daily newsletter crown. About 86 percent of American workers are employed in jobs in the service sector jobs, compared with 68 percent in 1970, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. People in this non-ordinary person work are facing already low wages, few benefits and uncertain hours. Now these workers are another challenge: “Because workers often have substantial positions of these face-to-face contact with customers who have the risk of crown exposure increases if the virus spreads,” said David Author, an economist MIT work. The nature of their work is a major economic risk also says the author. Many of the jobs in the fastest growing are poorly paid and work on shifts if customers do not shop, workers are not going to get hours. Some grow faster occupations over the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are places to work in person with low wages, including food preparation and workers who serve, who every year make $22,500 to, and taxi drivers and drivers, to make around $26,000. There are signs that companies that employ shift workers in a recession are companies like Cedar Fair operates amusement parks, MGM Resorts and Dave & Buster, which are all dependent on people to leave their homes and spend money, he beats 52 – lows of the week on the stock exchange on Tuesday. Already, many workers struggle in enough hours to four in 10 prefer to find part-time work more hours than they have, according to a report in February by the Center for Law and Social Policy at the time. The spread of the coronavirus also has the gap between workers stressed you get paid no paid sick days and holidays, and low-wage workers, if they have to take time off for illness. Only 47 percent of the lower quarter of American workers have access to a paid sick day, compared to 90 percent of the top quarter of the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank on the left. Although some cities and states have prescribed that employers offer sick pay, the spread of infectious diseases can sometimes make use of benefits that help show to reduce the research and work in these places. That’s because they work for several employers, who can not be derived from an employer. low-wage workers, jobless sick pay is often reluctant to jump, even if they are sick because they need the money; Four out of ten workers said covering the difficulties, a $400 emergency costs, according to a survey in 2019 of the Federal Reserve may have. Nancy Harvey, a provider of child care in Oakland, sick leave at the time do not mature, or the four people he works with. But working with her children to put at risk, says: “We work with young people to enter the womb and sneeze in your face,” he says. Parents whose children she often travel clocks, he says, and their employees commuting by public transport. To avoid getting sick, Harvey supplied the disinfectant and started pins and a baby disinfectant. A parent who is a pediatrician sent her information on how to prevent the spread of the crown, which they distributed to other parents and colleagues. But Harvey, who among a group of California child care providers are trying to form a union, says that more support as it is necessary for people, including backup care and learn more about how child care providers can keep themselves safe. A growing group of workers who paid only when present in person and do not have access to paid sick days are gig economy workers as Uber and Lyft drivers and delivery drivers for applications such as postal and Doordash Mates. People like Victor Regidor, a 42-year-old Uber driver in San Jose are to protect the continuation of the work as much as possible. Regidor bought a huge tub of Lysol wipes and a mask and scrub followed the handles and seats when transporting someone who is sneezing or coughing door. It worries when taking people to the airport because they did not know where they traveled, and when they have already coughed. He does not know what he will do if people out there stop to go was hard to find a more stable job. “People are normal at this time,” he says, “but it seems only a matter of time before they ever stop going out.” Companies like Uber and Lyft have messages to workers sent them to encourage them to mend their hands frequently and washing cars. But the spread of the disease has prompted companies to calls from supporters of the workers and the government to do more for employees with little protection, including increasing their salaries, so that one day is not an emergency as financial. “Moments of crisis are seeking important moments in our values and see where there are gaps in our current policy,” says Julie Kashen, Senior Policy Advisor at the National Domestic Workers Alliance, domestic workers as household cleaners, nannies organized and carers “Everyone in the world of care work is poorly paid, and it needs to rethink the way we are worth it.” Silicon Valley Lecter, which provides for technology workers for better protection for low wages, asked the subcontracting employers and employees of the service in their response plans include Crown and emphasizes the importance of paid sickness days and the ‘health care for all workers. Washington Labor, which advocates for low-wage workers in that State, employers want workers on sick time days use sick “negative going” to leave, even if you are not occurred and to abandon policies that require a medical certificate to use sick time for people, the United for the respect, the Walmart workers trying to organize, has publicly called for a guarantee that Wal-Mart employees to stay at home or care is not generated for a sick family member . “We should not be afraid of losing our job or do not qualify for a bonus if we stay at home with the virus to decide,” said Melissa Love, an employee at Walmart, in a statement. Ironically, when the Crown continues to spread, companies are trying to automate it can accelerate from certain jobs, so that they do not have the workers in charge said Ken Goldberg, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, automation and artificial intelligence have been studying. In Israel, robots taking temperatures and vital signs of patients who have the crown and helps physicians to diagnose in another room. Employers in sectors such as agriculture and preparation of food and storage facilities are already struggling to find enough workers in strict economy, he says Goldberg-crown could convince looking for people and embrace the car to stop. So far, the robots do not work, to successfully replace manual are able to do things like awkward table a clear or a child, but collect employers may try to introduce them to places like warehouses and agriculture, where the more advanced technology, “If people are made sufficiently quarantined, is that pushing this demand robots can do certain tasks,” he says. China says it, Goldberg, restaurants sit empty while demand for food supply boom. This is likely to happen in the United States. Goldberg, who co-founded a new beginning, which operates with both hands on a software that help robots capture any subject, he says, believes that more crown spread, the fastest e-commerce grows, and more businesses They are turning to robotics to their needs. People who have jobs gig economy, such as Amazon make delivery workers have already seen an increase in demand, as customers are moving to limit their exposure in ordering. Neil Randall, the Amazon Flex near Sacramento, California, and his colleagues have delivered supplies water packaging in bottles and bags of rice for worried customers. First, Randall was worried that it might be exposed by touching objects Crown handed, but he read some evidence World Organization of Health indicated that the crown could not survive on objects such as long-packages. When he delivers more supplies Doomsday says Randall, his concern was plain below: More and more customers have only asked for things to fall without requiring signatures to the front door, or any human interaction.
