Or will the resulting use of new processes and techniques, as well as the introduction of new products, open new opportunities for American workers?

The authors discuss the role of new technologies in strengthening U.S. international competitiveness, recommend initiatives for assisting displaced workers, and make recommendations to aid industry in developing and adopting the new technology it needs to compete successfully in the world economy.
