Interest in technological change’s effect on employment has recently grown, increasing empirical studies on them using task-based approaches. However, many studies seem to overlook the breadth of the range of impacts of technological change on employment and the complexity of impact pathways. Therefore, this study quantitatively and qualitatively examined technological change’s impact, represented by changes in the employment coefficient, on the entire economy’s employment, using input-output tables and employment statistics for 1990 and 2019. The results confirmed that the rapid technological change in the Korean manufacturing sector over the past 30 years positively impacted the economy’s quantity and quality of employment. This is not a complete denial of technological change’s negative effects. However, the results suggest that future policy responses to technological change should be pursued considering broader interrelationships between technology, industrial, and employment policies. By doing that, the Korean economy would be able to enjoy positive results while minimizing technological change’s negative impact.
