WASHINGTON (AP)  Most Americans believe their jobs are safe from the spread of automation and robotics, at least during their lifetimes, and only a handful says automation has cost them a job or loss of income.

Just 30 percent of people surveyed say that it is at least somewhat likely that their own jobs will be done by computers or robots. Seventy percent say it is not very or not at all likely.

Still, a survey by the Pew Research Center also found widespread anxiety about the general impact of technological change. Three-quarters of Americans say it is at least “somewhat realistic” that robots and computers will eventually perform most of the jobs currently done by people. Roughly the same proportion worry that such an outcome will have negative consequences, such as worsening inequality.

“The public expects a number of different jobs and occupations to be replaced by technology in the coming decades, but few think their own job is heading in that direction,” Aaron Smith, associate director at the Pew Research Center, said.

More than half of respondents expect that fast food workers, insurance claims processors and legal clerks will be mostly replaced by robots and computers during their lifetimes. Nearly two-thirds think that most retailers will be fully automated in 20 years, with little or no human interaction between customers and employers.

Americans’ relative optimism about their own jobs might be the more accurate assessment. Many recent expert analyses are finding less dramatic impacts from automation than studies from several years ago that suggested up to half of jobs could be automated.

A report last week, issued by the education company Pearson, Oxford University, and the Nesta Foundation found that just one in five workers are in occupations that will shrink by 2030.

Many analysts increasingly focus on the impact of automation on specific tasks, rather than entire jobs. A report in January from the consulting firm McKinsey concluded that less than 5 percent of occupations were likely to be entirely automated. But it also found that in 60 percent of occupations, workers could see roughly one-third of their tasks automated.

That suggests workers will need to continually upgrade their skills as existing jobs evolve with new technologies.

Just 6 percent of the respondents to the Pew survey said that they themselves have either lost a job or seen their hours or incomes cut because of automation. Perhaps not surprisingly, they have a much more negative view of technology’s impact on work. Nearly half of those respondents say that technology has actually made it harder for them to advance in their careers.

Contrary to the stereotype of older workers unable to keep up with new technology, younger workers, aged 18 through 24, were the most likely to say that automation had cost them a job or income. Eleven percent of workers in that group said automation had cut their pay or work hours. That’s double the proportion of workers aged 50 through 64 who said the same.

The Pew survey also found widespread skepticism about the benefits of many emerging technologies, with most Americans saying they would not ride in a driverless car. A majority are also not interested in using a robotic caregiver for elderly relatives.

Thirty percent of respondents said they think self-driving cars would actually cause traffic accidents to increase, and 31 percent said they would stay roughly the same. Just 39 percent said they thought accidents would decline.

More than 80 percent support the idea of requiring self-driving cars to stay in specific lanes.

The survey was conducted in May and had 4,135 respondents, Pew said.

The Wayne County Office of Sheriff reported the arrest on Thursday (10/5) of a Wayne County Jail inmate on new charges following investigation into an incident that occurred at the jail facility on 9/25 at about 8:40 p.m.

Knowledge O. Couser, age 21, currently an inmate at the jail on a Murder charge, was charged with one count of Obstructing Governmental Administration, an Class A misdemeanor, and two counts of Harassment in the Second Degree, violations.

It is alleged that during a routine transfer of inmate Couser from one location of the jail to another, he failed to comply with orders given to him and took a swing at a Corrections Sergeant, striking him in the temple area. He then took a swing at another Corrections Officer, missing, before he was subdued and restrained by Corrections staff.

The Corrections Sergeant was examined at the jail by jail medical staff for minor injury following the incident.

Couser was issued appearance tickets to appear in the Town of Lyons court at a later date on the current charges. He remains in jail on the original $25,000 cash bail set after his previous arrest in June of this year.

Wayne ARC was awarded a $24,000 grant to benefit its new Meadow Creek Social Adult Day Services Program in Macedon. The money was used for startup materials including kitchen appliances, cookware, furniture, gaming systems, a projector, television and sound system.

The goal of the social adult day service is to provide support services and social activities for seniors and people with disabilities in a safe, social environment while providing respite to their caregivers. Activities offered through the program include health promotion and wellness, family support and education, greenhouse activities, supervised cooking and baking, field trips and educational activities. Members of the community will also be invited to participate in activities such as music and art classes offered through the program.

Meadow Creek integrates Wayne ARC’s day habilitation program attendees and seniors, including persons with dementia and Alzheimer’s. With the funds provided by the Bullis Grant, a new presentation room was set up on site to hold classes and presentations by the Alzheimer’s Association for families.

“I like coming to my program five days a week to play games, watch movies, play cards with my friends and go on trips,” Frank Barber, a day habilitation attendee at Wayne ARC, said. The first week Barber started attending programs, he immediately signed up to go all five available days of the week because of how much he enjoyed what was offered to him.

The Bullis Fund, named after Wayne County businesswoman Jeanette Bullis, is managed by a committee of representatives to respect Miss. Bullis’ desire to improve the quality of life for citizens of Wayne County, especially those in the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District. With additional funding from Wayne ARC, the Arc of Wayne Foundation and other fundraisers, Meadow Creek Social Adult Day Services will soon be ready to serve the community.

Wayne ARC is located at 150 Van Buren Street, Newark, NY. All of the programs and services that Wayne ARC offers can be found online at www.waynearc.org.

The Macedon Police Department reported the arrest of Brad Greule, age 20, of Washington Street in Palmyra,  currently in the  Wayne County jail on unrelated charges; Romeo Fox, age 29, of Sheraton Drive in the Town of Greece and Kolin Crouse, age 20, of Kent Street in Palmyra, based on a 22 count indictment.

The charges stem from a 2015 crime spree in which the three allegedly burglarized a number of homes and entered unlocked vehicles in the south-east part of Macedon and neighboring Ontario County. The trio allegedly stole a number of hunting bows, hunting apparel, guns, money, credit cards, marijuana, cigarettes, alcohol, gasoline, and other items. The three are being charged with:

Four counts of Burglary in the Second Degree; one Count of Burglary in the Third Degree; two counts of Attempted Burglary in the Second Degree, four counts of Conspiracy  in the Fourth Degree; two counts of Conspiracy in the Fifth Degree; one count of Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree; eight counts Petit Larceny; one count of Criminal Mischief  in the Third degree; and two counts of Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree.

Greule was arraigned in Wayne County Court and remanded to the Wayne County Jail. Fox and Crouse were held in the Wayne County Jail awaiting arraignment.

The Macedon Police were assisted by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, Greece Police, Monroe County Probation, and the Palmyra Police Department.

This investigation cleared approximately 15 cases by the Macedon Police Department. Their next court appearance date is October 26th.

He was not only Debra’s husband, but also her best friend. He will be missed terribly and loved forever.  Be at peace Mark. A special thank you to Dr. Alok Gandhi and his team at Rochester General Hospital for all that they did for Mark with dignity, honesty and integrity; Liz Chase RN for always being his angel; Sister Margaret for all of her visits and prayers and the ER team at Strong Memorial Hospital for making him pass comfortably.  Family and Friends are invited to gather at the Murphy Funeral & Cremation Chapel, 1961 Ridge Road, Ontario, NY 14519 for a time of visitation on Thursday, October 12, 2017 from 4-7PM.  A memorial service will be held at a later date in Jamestown, NY.  Memorial donations may be directed to Hanger Clinic Amputee’s The Hanger Charitable Foundation 10910 Domain Drive Suite 300 Austin, TX 78758. To leave a condolence, light a candle, or upload a photo, please visit murphyfuneralservices.com.
