Digital tools and technologies have the capacity to alter where and how we work (telework), as well as produce and distribute goods and services (automation). Increased and rapid digitalization of the economy has implications for everything from regional housing markets and land use decisions, to unemployment rates and supply chains.
However, digitalization has advanced at differing degrees between occupations and within industry sectors. Automation Risk and Telework Capacity scores were developed in order to quantify digital adoption at the sector-level. These scores were then used to chart the state of digitalization of Greater Philadelphia’s economy, as well as the economies of nine peer regions.
Geographic Area Covered: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Greater Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C.
Key Words: Automation, Digitalization, Economy, Employment, Industry, Location Quotient, Occupation, Remote Work, Reskilling, Sector, Talent Retention, Telework, Upskilling, Workforce
