#036 - Robert D. Atkinson, Founder Information Technology and Innovation Foundation - a podcast by Michael Alf

One of the great things of a medium like a Podcast is to bring different perspectives together. 

Some time back, we had Martin Ford as a guest. 

Today, I have the pleasure to present Robert Atkinson, founder and president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, with me. 

He is running this think tank, and the team published an interesting article (link at the end) on the trends in the labour market in the last 165 years. The results are different than you might expect. 

So, enjoy the session.
