Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has【C2】________ many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life.

Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its【C8】________. Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics.

选项
答案
