This document may have been received from Turkey, but if Germany did not find this sufficient, it may have deemed short or long-term retraining necessary.

The new area suddenly fills with companies and their employees and fierce competition begins. All food couriers have smartphones and orders are made via them. There is definitely a central system that knows which courier is where. The new order will automatically be given to the nearest courier
Those who argue that artificial intelligence will destroy workers' workplaces forget the feature of capitalism to produce new jobs. While the scope of some jobs is shrinking, new job areas that were not considered before may emerge. The majority of these are for low-wage workers and are populated primarily by immigrants.
