This policy statement and report on computers and jobs examines some of the changes that are affecting jobs and the preparation of both young people and adults for those jobs. The policy statement addresses these selected issues: preparation of firms and new and experienced workers for the introduction of computers into the workplace, the role of schools and training institutions, and information needs to aid policymaking. Findings are that existing strategies for adopting computers are appropriate for handling human resource adjustments; careful planning is the key to effective integration; good basic skills continue to be critical; computer skills are an addition to, not a replacement for, other job skills; and education and training institutions should make changes in course offerings and procedures. The staff report that comprises most of this document assesses some employment consequences of the "computer revolution." Topics include the spread of computers, computers' effects on jobs, the role of human resource decisions, job loss and worker displacement, current estimates and projections of displaced workers, the amount of computer training workers need, and the role of educational institutions.
