2.126 During bad economic times, industrial workers are dismissed and are often replaced by machines. The history of 100 workers whose loss of employment is at- tributable to technological advances is reviewed. For each of these individuals, it is determined if he or she was given an alternative job within the same company, found a job with another company in the same field, found a job in a new field, or has been unemployed for 1 year. In addition, the union status of each worker is recorded. The following table summarizes the results.
