In the United States of America, there are various forms of jobs available. However, some types of jobs can cause alienation and dehumanization. These types of jobs are known as "McJobs", which I will be writing about in this essay. The origin of the term "McJobs", comes from the name of the fast-food organization known as "McDonalds". McDonalds is the main example, while other jobs count as McJobs as well. To examine a McJob at McDonalds more, there are four different methods in how a McJob operates.
They use four different methods in order for the results to be the same across every restaurant. These are Efficiency, Predictability, Uniformity, and Automation. These types of jobs can also branch out into low-wage jobs. Examples of low-wage jobs include working at Walmart, being a waiter or waitress, and being a aid at a nursing home. However, doing a job didn't always work this way. How the type of work people do has changed is due to two fatal transitions within the economy. The Industrial Revolution from about or over two hundred years ago caused one transition in the economy, and the Information Revolution, which emerged during the 1950's.
To conclude this essay, there have been many changes in the United States economy. These changes have the potential to be for the worst. However, each person should find an efficient job that's right for them.
