My Answer:
The only thing I can see is that the items in column A take jobs away from people. The lesson was about supply and demand. However I do not see how that comes into play. Thanks for your help.
In order to identify the common element in each column, we need to carefully analyze the statements in both Column A and Column B. Let's break it down:
Column A consists of the following statements:
1. The number of minimum wage jobs has increased.
2. By 2025 blue collar work could be totally obsolete.
3. The number of ATMs is increasing faster than the rate of bank tellers.
4. “We’re sorry all our operators are busy. Your call is important to us; please hold for the next available operator.”
Column B consists of the following statements:
1. Pension funds account for 74% of all individual investments, 1/3 of corporate equity, and 40% of corporate bonds.
2. 44% of women who work outside the home would prefer to have more time at home.
3. 700,000 Canadians work 5 or more hours overtime a week.
4. Tax machines not people.
5. “It takes a whole village to raise a child.”
Analyzing the statements, it appears that the common element in each column is that Column A statements focus on changes in the job market, employment, and technology's impact on jobs, while Column B statements have a broader scope and touch upon societal issues, financial matters, and values.
Therefore, based on this analysis, the statements you provided about the number of part-time jobs, the impact of technology on jobs, and defining a person's worth outside of wage labor would likely belong to Column A, as they pertain to changes in the job market and the effects of technology on employment.
