 > Description: Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Americans 
 > have started ordering groceries online for the first time. Levels of ecommerce 
 > for major grocery chains, including Walmart, Kroger's and AmazonFresh/Whole 
 > Foods have doubled or tripled since last year, building on double digit growth 
 > from previous years. Meanwhile the home delivered meal kit industry has seen 
 > new life, and home delivery of prepared foods through platforms like DoorDash 
 > and UberEats, is booming. Many new customers, understandably nervous about the 
 > health implications of leaving their homes and sharing narrow grocery aisles 
 > with other shoppers, are exploring new ways of getting food to their homes.
 > 
 > What are the implications of this trend for the people doing the work of 
 > fulfilling online orders and delivering food? What do we know about the growing 
 > number of jobs related to the growth of online food ordering and how is this 
 > affecting existing jobs in the grocery industry? What kinds of wages and 
 > working conditions exist in these jobs? What does this mean for people in more 
 > traditional grocery store jobs? What does the pandemic mean for the longer-term 
 > trends in this type of work? Is the trend towards more online ordering of food 
 > likely to continue after the pandemic, or flatten out? Based on a 3-year study 
 > of technological change and future of work in the grocery industry, this talk 
 > will address these changes. Since many of the new positions are gig jobs 
 > through on-demand platforms like Instacart and DoorDash, this talk will also 
 > discuss the implications of the high profile political battle being waged in 
 > Ca over employee status of gig workers.
