TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Manager Letter to State Legislators — State of lowa Needs to be an
Equitable State of Choice
DATE: October 17, 2019
The attached letter has been sent to our State Legislators. While it details some serious
issues, so far Dubuque is weathering these circumstances better than most other cities
in the State of lowa.
When it comes to job creation and economic development, Dubuque is a leader in the
Midwest and in the State of lowa.
"Would the last person to leave Dubuque please turn off the lights?" Residents used
this dark humor to help deal with Dubuque's dire unemployment rate which hit 23% in
January 1982. High school and college graduates left for more prosperous cities and
states, taking their talent with them, with Dubuque losing almost 10% of its population in
the 1980's.
Dubuque has built 1,468 acres of industrial parks, now home to 55 businesses,
including 47 local businesses that needed a place to expand.
The City of Dubuque has committed $86 million in Tax Increment Financing incentives
for businesses since 1990 in the industrial parks and in downtown Dubuque. This has
leveraged $490 million in private investment by these businesses. With the use of TIF,
businesses in Dubuque have retained 3,988 existing jobs and created 6,428 new jobs.
To date, 78 projects have benefitted from the use of Tax Increment Financing.
Dubuque's responsible use of this only meaningful local economic incentive has created
a nationally-recognized transformation. The Dubuque metropolitan statistical area
(MSA) total employment for June 2018 was 60,500, a 61% increase since 1983 when
total employment was 37,600. In October 2018, the Dubuque MSA's unemployment
rate was 1.7%. Dubuque County's Median Household Income (MHI) rose from $48,012
in 2009 to $56,154 in 2016, a 14% increase. In this same period, the national MHI
increased by only 2.5%. Dubuque has been ranked by Forbes, Kiplinger, the U.S.
Conference of Mayors, the National Civic League, and the Milken Institute as one of the
best cities in the United States to live and work.
Fortunately from 2010-2017, Dubuque County showed a growth of 3.3%,
achieving a population of 97,041.
Information recently released by the State of lowa Legislative Services Agency shows
the performance of Main Street lowa communities from Fiscal Year 1987 — Fiscal Year
2018. Of the Urban Main Street communities over 50,000 population, Dubuque has
leveraged $716,853,589 in private and public dollars invested in acquisition and
rehabilitation. This amount is the highest amount of any city and represents 37°k of the
$1 ,912,278,450 grand total for the State of lowa.
Downtown historic redevelopment in Dubuque has added well over 2,100 permanent
jobs in buildings that had been underutilized or were deteriorating or vacant for
decades. Dubuque developers have completed 35 projects to date using the lowa
Historic Tax Credit Program. Just over $42.5 million in lowa HTCP funding has
leveraged over $143 million in private investment. Dubuque currently has 19 more
projects in the works, with an estimated $18.5 million in lowa HTCP funding, which is
expected to leverage approximately $56 million in private investment.
Dubuque's responsible use of historic tax credits is nationally-recognized as noted in
the Fall 2018 Preservation Magazine produced by the National Trust for Historic
Preservation, in Finding Dubuque: An lowa City Rediscovers Its Sense of Place by Lisa
Selin Davis:
"Never, in 15 years of writing about historic preservation, had I heard so many
people utter the words "historic tax credits" with such passion and
reverence...The tour helped me understand the unusually deep and detailed
public-private partnerships that are making Dubuque a model of economic
development and community revitalization.
As impressive as these buildings are, just as impressive is the preservation fever
that has taken hold of the city. Preservation projects are creating ripple effects—
bringing in new blood, welcoming long-lost Dubuquers home, and encouraging
people from all over the city to participate in the salvation of historic Dubuque.
Anyone can restore a building. But Dubuque residents, together, are restoring a
community."
Dubuque has the lowest property tax rate per capita of the 11 largest cities in lowa
(those with a population larger than 50,000). In fact, Dubuque's property tax rate is 45°k
below the average of the 10 other cities. By the end of the current 5-year capital
improvement program, the City will be utilizing only 37°k of the statutory debt limit and
currently has general fund reserves of 22°k. Over the years, the City of Dubuque has
reorganized and implemented technology improvements and actually has 27 fewer full-
time employees than in 1981 , even though the City now offers more services. Dubuque
sets a very high standard when it comes to fiscal responsibility.
2
This has all been achieved through Planning, Partnerships and People, leading to
measurable outcomes. Dubuque believes in showing people we care, by our actions,
so that they can have hope to achieve their personal goals, whatever they might be.

Dear «Title» «Last»,
A crisis is occurring in the State of Iowa before our very eyes. The crisis is both partially
caused by and masked by the State of lowa low unemployment rate of 2.4%.
What is the crisis? In spite of some pockets of modest prosperity the State of lowa, and
states similar to lowa, are struggling.
This issue was highlighted in an April 4, 2018 article in the Wall Street Journal, "lowa's
Employment Problem: Too Many Jobs, Not Enough People." (Attachment #1) A few
lines in that article stand out, "If every employed person in the Midwest was placed in an
open job, there would still be more than 180,000 unfilled positions, according to the
most recent Labor Department Data. The 12-state region is the only area of the country
where job openings outnumber out of workjob seekers." And, "The Midwest has seen
an outflow of people. A net 1.3 million people living in the Midwest in 2010 had left by
the middle of last year, according to census data."
The State of lowa needs to be an Equitable State of Choice to retain and attract a
skilled workforce so existing employers can grow, so lowa entrepreneurs can start new
businesses and so that lowa can attract new companies to call lowa home.
We know that lowa is a great place to live with a high quality of life, a good education
system, modest cost of living and low crime rates, but what the numbers are telling us is
that is not enough. We have all heard the definition of insanity is to keep doing things
the same way and expect to get different results. I know this is not how you operate.
The international economy is at a turning point as is the economy of the United States
and the State of lowa. We are entering the 4th industrial revolution where the
importance of an updated infrastructure is paramount to success and the most
important part of that infrastructure is going to be a skilled and adequate workforce.
In the attached (Attachment #2) article, "The Fourth Industrial Revolution: Opportunities
and Challenges," it is pointed out that, "In the future, talent, more than capital, will
represent the critical factors of production."

lowa is competing on a world stage. In doing this, lowa must fight above its weight
class. lowa only has eleven cities with a population greater than 50,000 people. �th
3.1 million people, lowa is only the 30t" largest state in the United States. lowa needs
more and better tools to compete successfully forjobs and workers, and needs to use
these tools more aggressively.
Communities across the Midwest are having difficulties adjusting to the changing
economy:

Information recently released by the State of lowa Legislative Services Agency shows
the change in population in counties across lowa 2010-2017 (Attachment#3). It is a
frightening trend that must serve as a wake-up call for all lowans. If we want our
children and grandchildren to be able to stay in lowa and be successful, we must all
work to make lowa a place of choice, not only for businesses but also the workforce
they will need to thrive. We should be considering how to improve economic
development and community rehabilitation tools to create more growth in jobs and
population and to make the incentives more competitive.

lowa Percent Chanae in Population bv Countv 2010-2017
State of lowa +3.2% (+gg,356)
There are 99 counties in the state of lowa. Only 23 showed any growth at all over a 7-
year period from 2010 to 2017. If you only consider counties that had at least 1%
growth and have a population of 25,000 or more, only 11 of the 99 counties met these
criteria and four of them are in the Des Moines/Ames corridor. In fact, the Des Moines/
Ames corridor accounted for 81,808 (82%) of the 99,356 of the state-wide population
growth.
Even some of the counties that include some of lowa's larger cities showed very little
growth or an adual decline.
COUNTY % Population Change: 2010-2017
Woodbury (Sioux City) +0.1%
Muscatine (Muscatine) +0.3%
Pottawattamie (Council Bluffs) +0.0%
Jasper (Newton) +0.4%
Wapello (Ottumwa) -1.7%
Cerro Gordo (Mason City) -2.5%

The picture is just as discouraging when you look at the Estimated Population Migration
from 2010 to 2017 (Attachment #4). This measurement represents the number of
people who have moved to these counties vs. the number of people who have left. The
State of lowa experienced a net inflow of only 24,342 people during this 7-year period.
If you only consider counties that had a net positive change of at least 1 ,000 people,
only 9 (9°k) of the 99 counties met that criteria, with 4 of those in the Des Moines/Ames
Corridor.
Additional information from the Legislative Services Agency shows the change in
population and employment by County from 2010-2017 (Attachment #5). The news is
not good:
. 23 of the 99 counties have seen declines in both population and employment.
. 25 of the 99 counties have seen declines in employment for a total of lost jobs of
8,047.
. Clinton County lost the most jobs at 1 ,835 (8°k), but 10 counties lost more than
250 jobs.
. Hamilton County lost 12.9°k (874) of their jobs, Cherokee County 12.8°k (695)
and the average job loss of the 25 counties was 4.8°k.
. 10 of the counties lost more than 5°k of their jobs.
A 2018 report released by the lowa Business Council, which represents many of the
state's largest employers, should be a great cause of concern for the State of lowa.
When compared with how lowa ranks among all 50 states in key metrics comparing the
year 2000 with 2017, it is clear that lowa needs to do more to support economic
development, job growth, and workforce development:

We need to focus on how we can all work together to grow lowa and to make our
communities a place of choice where our children and grandchildren want to stay and

new people want to come as we deal with the biggest problem identified by business
and industry and that is the availability of a skilled workforce. We need to focus on
quality of life issues, on job creation, on job training, on our children's education and on
the future. To do that we need tools at the local level and we need healthy, engaged
and active partners. Those partners need to support strategic initiatives around mental
health, childcare, quality affordable housing, job training, workforce development, job
creation and do all this looking through an equity lens.
In my humble opinion, now is not the time to be timid. We need to act and we need to
act now. Please look at expanding existing tools and creating new ones, while working
with local governments as strategic partners in the effort to create an Equitable State of
Choice.

States are spending tens of millions of dollars on worker

But in places like Iowa, many of the job openings are in
small towns and rural communities that are losing

Kevin Johnson, 60 years old,teaches�velding to new hires at commercial truck equipment-maker Stellar Industries in
Garner,Iowa. But the company has a backlog of orders because, like many companies in the region, it doesn't have
enough workers.
MASON CITY, Io�va—Manufacturers in northern Iowa are beggin;Terry Schumaker for freshly trained workers for
their factories. The problem is he doesn't have enough students to train.
"It's not like�ve have the people beating down our door to apply," said Mr. Schumaker, a dean at the North Iowa Area
Community College in Mason City.
It is a problem playing out in many parts of the Midwest, a region with lower unemployment and higher job-opening
rates than the rest of the country. Employers, especially in more rural areas, are finding that there are just too few
workers. That upends a long-running view in Washinaton,D.C., and many state capitals,where policy makers often
say the unemployed simply lack the skills to get hired.
Mr. Schumaker said Io�va has plenty of free programs to train workers. And Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is poised to
sign Tuesday legislation that would provide an estimated �18 million for worker-training programs. But shrinking
high-school classes leave fewer potential trainees.
Other states, like Indiana and Wisconsin, are undertaking similar moves. President Donald Trump has touted worker-
training programs, and his daughter Ivanka visited Iowa in March to highlight the efforts.
The U.S. labor market is the tightest it has been in nearly two decades. The national unemployment rate held at a 17-
year low of 4.1% for five straight months, and the number of job openings is at a record.
In the Midwest,the worker shortage is even more pronounced.
If every unemployed person in the Mid�vest was placed into an open job, there would still be more than 180,000
unfilled positions, according to the most recent Labor Department data.The 12-state region is the only area of the
country where job openings outnumber out-of-work job seekers.
"The crux of the problem is that tive don't have the people here,"said Dave Zrostlik,president of commercial truck
manufacturer Stellar Industries Inc.,based in Garner, a rural city of about 3,000 people near Mason City.
The shortage of labor is hurting Stellar's bottom line. "We've got the biggest backlog of orders ever,"said iVlr.
Zrostlik, as he walked past an assembly line sitting unused because he can't find the workers to stafF a second shift.
Normally, his 450-employee company fills orders in about eight weeks. Today, it takes 18 weeks or more.
With about 28,000 residents, Mason City is the largest town in about a 100-mile radius. It supports industries like
manufacturing, construction and agriculture. A sib at an Arby's restaurant on the high�vay from Mason City to
Garner proclaims, "If you're smiling, we're hiring."
Firms in rural areas are more likely to report their applicant pool is limited,the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta said.
Controlling for other factors, such as the size of a business or education level required for a job, 68% of rural firms
reported too fe�v applicants for open jobs,versus 57% of employers in urban areas.
The Midwest has seen an outflow of people. A net 1.3 million people living in the Midwest in 2010 had left by the
middle of last year, according to census data. The area also attracts fewer immib ants than the rest of the country. As a
result, Midwest employers are more dependent on filling jobs with workers who already live there.
David Swenson, a regional economist at Iowa State University, doesn't believe Io�va suffers from a skills gap. More
job training programs are a"solution to a problem that doesn't exist,"he said. "Thinking that it's going to solve rural
labor issues is misguided."
Beth Townsend,head of Iowa's department of workforce development, said Iowa has an abundance of lotiv-skilled
workers but is facing a gap when it comes to jobs that require some specialized training.
"We've got a lot of adults�vho could be easily upskilled,"she said. In particular, she is trying to get more disabled
people or ex-convicts into the workforce because they often face more hurdles in finding employment.
Iowa's 2.9%unemployment rate has already drawn thousands of workers off the sidelines. The share of Io�va adults
working or seeking work was 67.9% in February,nearly five percentage points higher than the national average,U.S.
Labor Department data sho�v.North Dakota,Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas similarly have a relatively high rate of
adults in the labor force.
That sug�ests many potential workers on the fi-inge of the labor market have come back. And those who aren't
�vorkin�now may not be far other reasons, such as staying home with children or a lack of transportation.

Dave Zrostlik, CEO of Stellar Industries, works one of the cranes the company makes.
"If someone needs to buy a car and commute 60 miles to take a job in a rural community,they may find it's not worth
taking the job," said Carl Van Horn, director of the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers
University.
Eric Sauey, CEO of Seats Inc, in rural Reedsburg, Wis., says that as his business making seats for commercial
vehicles has gro�vn, it has become harder to find the workers he needs. He is competing�vith other industries in his
town of 9,200, like health care and carpentry, for the same pool of workers.
His company trains employees internally. In fact, Mr. Sauey said he would rather his employees weren't trained
externally�vhen they get to his factory.
"We'd rather people not have any experience because then they're not bringing bad habits with them,"he said.

Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution, a term coined by Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World
Economic Forum,describes a world where individuals move between digital domains and offline reality with the use
of connected technology to enable and manage their lives. (Miller 2015, 3) The first industrial revolution changed
our lives and economy from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine
manufacturing. Oil and electricity facilitated mass production in the second industrial revolution. In the third
industrial revolution, information technology was used to automate production. Although each industrial revolution
is often considered a separate event, together they can be better understood as a series of events building upon
innovations of the previous revolution and leading to more advanced forms of production. This article discusses the
major features of the four industrial revolutions, the opportunities of the fourth industrial revolution, and the
challenges of the fourth industrial revolution.
Keywords: fourth industrial revolution,�ve ages of civilization,3D printing technology, artificial intelligence,IoT,
fusion of technology,robotics
1.Introduction
The speed and measure of the changes coming about by the fourth industrial revolution are not to be ignored.These
changes will bring about shifts in power, shifts in wealth, and knowledge. Only in being knowledgeable about these
changes and the speed in which this is occurring can we ensure that advances in knowledge and technology reach all
and benefit all.
The first industrial revolution started in 1760 with the invention of the steam engine. The steam engine allowed the
transition from farming and feudal society to the new manufacturing process.This transition included the use of coal
as the main energy while trains were the main means of transportation.Textile and steel were the dominant industries
in terms of employment,value of output, and capital invested. The second industrial revolution began in 1900 with
the invention of the internal combustion engine. This led to an era of rapid industrialization using oil and electricity
to power mass production. The third industrial revolution started in 1960 and was characterized with the
implementation of electronics and information technology to automate production. Under the old ways, making
things involved screwing or welding lots of parts together. The fourth industrial revolution now involves computer
generated product design and three dimensional (3D) printing, which can create solids object by building up
successive layers of materials.(Prisecaru, 57-62) Table 1 shows a short presentation of the industrial revolutions
from 1760 to the present.

Now a Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third,the digital revolution that has been occurring since the
middle of the last century. It is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the
physical,digital,and biological spheres.
There are three reasons why today's transformations represent not merely a prolongation of the Third Industrial
Revolution but rather the arrival of a Fourth and distinct one: velocity, scope, and systems impact. The speed of
current breakthroughs has no historical precedent.When compared with previous industrial revolutions,the Fourth is
evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace.Moreover,it is disrupting almost every industry in every country.
And the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production,management,
and governance."(Schwab 2015)
2.Opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
There are similarities between four industrial revolutions and the five ages of civilization: the hunter and gather age,
the agricultural age,the industrial age,the information worker age, and the emerging age of wisdom. Therefore,we
may infer the opportunities of the fourth industrial revohrtion through the characteristics of these five ages of
civilization presented by Steven Covey in his book 8th Habit. (2011, 12-17) First, the productivity of each
subsequent age goes up fifty times over the preceding age. Consider for example, the increase in productivity of the
industrial age over the agricultural age. Second, each subsequent age destroys many of the jobs of the preceding age.
The information age is replacing the jobs created by the industrial age.Much of losses in our industrial age jobs have
less to do with government policy and free trade agreements than they do with dramatic shift in our economy to the
knowledge worker.
Third,in the first three ages of civilization manual workers produced most goods and services with their body,but in
the last two ages,knowledge workers produce most goods and services with their mind.Knowledge workers are the
link to a company's other investments. They provide focus, creativity, and leverage in using those investments to
achieve the orgauization's objectives more efficiently. In other words, knowledge is an integral part of total
managemeilt and cuts across functional boundaries. The main assets and primary drivers of the industrial age were
machines and capital. People were necessary but replaceable. The management style of the industrial age simply
does not work in the new economy. Management focused on motivating employees to perform the physical labor
needed to produce the products and services. In the fourth industrial age, the challenge now is how companies can
motivate their knowledge workers to release their human potential.
Leading researchers argue that the fourth industrial revolution will shape the future through its impacts on
government and business.People have no cont�•ol over either technology or the disruption that comes with the fourth
industrial revolution. However, we can predict the opportunities that comes with the fourth industrial revolution: 1)
lower barriers between inventors and markets,2)more active role for the artificial intelligence(AI),3)integration of
different technics and domains (fusion), 4) improved quality of our lives (robotics) and 5) the connected life
(Internet).

First, Chris Anderson predicts that the fourth industi-ial revolution is likely to reduce barriers between inventors and
markets due to new technologies such as 3D printing for prototyping.(2012)For example,tissue engineers use rapid
prototyping techniques to produce 3D porous scaffolds. The 3D printing technique fabricates scaffolds with a novel
micro- and macro-architecture and these in turn help shape the new tissue as it regenerates.New technologies, like
this 3D printing, allow entrepreneurs with new ideas to establish small companies with lower start-up costs. The
entrepreneur can bring the product 'to reality' with 3D printing, without the traditional time constraints often
encountered with traditional prototyping methods. The typical barriers to entry are removed from the marketing
equation.
Second, increasing trends in artificial intelligence point to significant economic disruptions in the coming years.
Artificial systems that rationally solve complex problems pose a threat to many kinds of employment,but also offers
new avenues to economic growth.A report by McKinsey& Company found that half of all existing work activities
would be automated by currently existing technologies,thereby enabling companies to save billions of dollars and to
create new types of jobs. (Manyika et al. 2017) For example, driverless cars may modestly replace tax and Uber
drivers,but autonomous trucks may radically transform shipping with far fewer jobs for truck drivers.
Third, innovative technologies will integrate different scientific and technical disciplines. Key forces will come
together in "a fusion of tecluiologies that is blurring the lines between physical, digital, and biological spheres."
(Schwab 2015) This fusion of technologies goes beyond mere combination. Fusion is more than complementary
technology, because it creates new markets and new growth opportunities for each participant in the innovation. It
blends incremental improvements from several(often previously separated)fields to create a product.
Fourth,robotics can and will change our lives in the near future. Technically robots are automated motorized tools.
They cook food,play our music,record our shows,and even run our cars.But we just do not see it because robots do
not have a face we to whom we can talk or a butt we can kick. (Tilden) Consequently, robots have the potential to
improve the quality of our lives at home, work, and many other places. Customized robots will create new jobs,
improve the quality of existing jobs,and give people more time to focus on what they want to do.
Fifth, the Internet of things(IoT)is the Internetworking of physical devices. Typically,the IoT is expected to offer
advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and serVices that goes beyond machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications. (Holler, et al. 2014) The
interconnection of these embedded devices is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields,while also enabling
advanced applications like a smart grid,and expanding to areas such as smart cities.The revolution of the connected
life came about thanks to the advance of the Internet. In 1969, the first data was transmitted over the Internet and
linked two main frame computers.Now,the Internet is connecting personal computers and mobile devices. "By 2010,
the number of computers on the Internet had surpassed the number of people on the earth.°(Gershenfeld and Vasseur
2014,28)
3.Challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
"We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live,work, and relate
to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has
experienced before. We do not yet know just how it will unfold, but one thing is clear: the response to it must be
integrated and comprehensive, involving all stakeholders of the global polity, from the public and private sectors to
academic and civil society." (Schwab 2015) This paragraph gives us soine idea of the challenges surrounding the
fourth industrial revolution. The enormity of the challenges and the breadth required of the response are reinfarced
by Peters.(2017,28)
The evolution of global industries in the fourth industrial revolution is both exciting and scary.Life will change with
the 3D printing, the IoT, and the fusion of technologies. The fourth industrial revolution can raise income levels by
allowing entrepreneurs to "run" with their new ideas. It will improve the quality of life for many people around the
world. (Jee 2017, 255-256) Consumers are likely to gain the most from the fourth industrial revolution.
"[T]echnological innovation will also lead to a supply-side miracle, with long-term gains in efficiency and
productivity. Transportation and communication costs will drop, logistics and global supply chains will become
more effective,and the cost of trade will diminish,all of which will open new markets and drive economic growth."
(Schwab 2015)
While there are many benefits of the fourth industrial revolution, there are several key challenges that lie ahead. At
the same time,the revolution could yield greater inequality,particularly in its potential to disrupt labor markets. As
automation substitutes for labor across the entire economy, the net displacement of workers by machines might
Pt�blished by Scieclt�Press 92 ISSN 1923-4023 E-ISSN 1923-4031
http://ijfr.sciedupress.com International Journal of Financial Research Vol.9,No.2;2018
exacerbate the gap between returns to capital and returns to labor.The scarcest and most valuable resource in an era
driven by digital technologies will be neither ordinary labor nor ordinary capital; rather it will be those people who
can create new ideas and innovations. In the future, talent, more than capital, will represent the critical factor of
production. People with ideas, not workers or investars, will be the scarcest resource. (Brynjolfsson, McAfee, and
Spence 2014).In 2017 Bloomberg Global Business Forum,Apple CEO Tim Cook commented—"If I were a country
leader,my goal would be to monopolize the world's talent." (Leswing 2017)The quest for talent will give rise to a
job market that may become increasingly segregated. Low skilled and low wage jobs will be replaced by computers
and digitization. The higher paid jobs rec�uiring more skills are less likely to be replaced. This increased
dichotomization can lead to an increase in social tensions.(Wolf 2015, 125)
In addition to the threat of massive job displacement under the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, there are a
variety of challenges, such as cybersecurity,hacking, risk assessment, and others. (Lambert 2017)A higher level of
alert is raised up when our lives become extensively connected to various devices, from our cell phones, cars, and
light switches to our home security cameras, and smart speakers. One of the biggest trends in 2018 Consumer
Electronics Show is that everything is connected and there is no gou�g back.(Goode 2018)
Having everything attached to everything else in the IoT is going to monumeirtally increase the vulnerabilities
present in any given network. With more knobs, comiections and burden of connectivity, systems are going to have
to be more secure.The fourth industrial revolution calls for greater cybersecurity. Companies will need to map their
networks,assessing the risk and critical factors relating to security. Such an assessment should examine accessibility
to systems, such as possible threats from internal sources, from disgruntled employees to internal human error, and
external sources including hackers and cyber terrarists. Further, companies must assess risk aud determine if these
risks will be accepted,reduced,shared via insurance or other vehicles,or rejected.Risks can be from both intentional
aud unintentional sources.If your house lights turn on via your computer,but you have lost the wireless connection
to your house, you may be living in the dark. Unintentional sources of risk can include error s promulgated by
company employees or nature itself such as storms causing disruptions in connectivity.Individuals too should assess
their risks,just as companies will. It may come that the Internet will have more information about individuals than
the family, friends, and colleagues of the individuals. Certainly,the ability of data to be processed and the speed in
which it can be done surpasses the ability and speed of individuals.It is necessary to examine the value of processes
and assets, from machinery to intellectual property,ensuring that there is insurance, security measures and that any
vulnerability is sufficiently identified.
When we consider the changing nature of security threats-from employees connecting personal devices to company
networks to brute farce attadcs fi•om hackers - the situation is further complicated. The sophistication in risk
identification and neutralization has to change with it. While data can be lost or stolen by employees, either
inadvertently or intentionally,the biggest attacks in recent years have been external malicious attacks,collectively or
commonly referred to as hacking. These could be hacking to move money around, such as when Russian hackers
stole $10 million from Citibank customer accounts, Internet terrorism, such as the $2 million damages caused to
WeaKnees.com over a six week botnet attack, Internet pump-and-dump fraud where hackers take advantage of
manipulating stock prices, or software piracy which is estimated to cost over $50 billion a year. (Romney and
Steinbart 2017, 159-167)
The fourth industrial revolution is more than just technology-driven change. Rather, it is powered with disruptive
imiovation to positively impact our core industries and sectars, such as education, health and business. In education,
with the previous industrial revolutions, the focus of education changed. With the first industrial revolution,
education was focused on standard modes of learning, such as the McGuffey reader. With move toward mass
production in the second industrial revolution and standardized testing. Education is service oriented and with the
move into the third industrial revolution we come to see students under a customer learning model.Now in the fourth
industrial revolution, technologies really blur the lines between physical, digital and biological spheres. Disruptive
innovation makes its way into higher education in which it redefines the conventional ways universities deliver their
content to students. New modes of curriculum and teaching arise, and the focus changes from modes of teach to
modes of learning.Alternative curriculums are being constantly developed.Disniptive innovation also reshapes how
businesses operate. Thinking has really moved outside of the box. New markets are created and new products are
de�ned.Netflix is competing with traditional television. Taxis must compete against Uber and Lyft. These offered
similar product offered to customers in new ways. You could watch your shows froin your home or get a ride
somewhere. With the Airbnb alternative overnight accommodations are competing against traditional hotels and
motels.(Jules 2017)

Last, in an era featuring AI, automation, robots, and genetic engineering, we have new ethical concerns emerging.
Lots of debates have arisen in genetic engineering about the use of tools and research technologies. On one hand,
preventing genetic disease by genetic engineering is desirable. On the other hand,what guidelines,or regulation, or
ethical boundaries we should establish in order to prevent the over manipulation genetics for desirable traits?Is there
such a thing as over manipulation? Infused with artificial intelligence and machine learning ability, robots have
become smarter and more autonomous,but they still lack an essential feature-the capacity of moral reasoning.This
limits their ability to make good or ethical decisions in complex situations. Further, the most critical question is
whose moral standards should robots inherit. Moral values differ greatly from individual to individual, across
countries, religions, and ideological boundaries. Uncertainty over which moral framework to adopt underlies the
difficulty and limitations to ascribing moral values to artificial systems.(Al-Rodhan 2015)
4.Conclusion
We have recently entered the dawn of the fourth industrial evolution, in which it differs in speed, scale,complexity,
and transformative power compared to previous revolutions. This article has examined the opportunities and
challenges that are likely to arise as a result of the fourth industrial revolution.As industrial revolutions have moved
from the mechanization of production in the first industrial revolution,to the mass production in the second,and then
to the automation of production in third, the standards of living for most people around the world have greatly
improved.Undoubtedly,the capability of advancing technology coming forth from the latest industrial revolution has
the potential to make even bigger and greater improvements on every aspect of our lives changes than the first three
industrial revolutions summed together.
On the other hand, there are a variety of challenges stemming from the fourth industrial revolution to overcome.
From income inequality to cybersecuriry,the benefits of the fourth industrial revolution have obstacles that must be
harnessed, directed and overcome, such as income inequality, cybersecurity, and ethical dilemmas. Technology and
advancements in science drive transformation around the world. They create ripple effects on societies,institutions,
and economies. They will transform the ways in which we live, work, and interact with one another.Understanding
these new technologies and their disruption potential is critical for all nations and especially developing countries.
The fourth industrial revolution may affect society and economy in a variety of ways. (Prisecaru 2016)First, a large
portion of people around the world are likely to use social-media platforms to connect,learn,and change information.
Second, a variety of innovative producers and competitors will have easy access to digital platforms of marketing,
sales,and distribution,thereby improving the quality and price of goods and services.Third,consumers will be more
and more involved in the production and distribution chains. The main effects of this revolution on the business
environment are the impact it will have on consumer expectations, product quality, the move toward collaborative
innovation,and iimovations in orgaxiizational forms.

Change in Employment and Population - CY 2010-2017
The following maps explore the relationship between two variables, change in employment and change in population. Overlapping two variables
can help identify where patterns may exist. In both maps,the darkest grey indicates counties with the highest increases in both employment and
population, and the lightest color indicates counties with losses in both. The blue colors show counties with higher gains in employment but
where population change is not coincident. Yellow colors indicate counties with smaller gains in employment but higher increases in population.
