Abstract: How to balance the advancement of digital technology and the priority of employment is an important issue in the context of industrial digitalization. The impact of industrial digitization on employment mainly occurs on the supply side. The industrial digitization is associated with crowding out not only manual workers but also nonmanual workers, which indicates the unemployment caused by the substitution of digital technology rather than the technological unemployment. The countermeasure to deal with the unemployment is to tap into its “creative” potential, including the creation of new industries, jobs and platforms, and especially the use of digital technology to innovate and start businesses. Digital technology has its limit, that is, there is a technical application bias. In China, at the current stage, digital technology should be more applied to industrial upgrading, rather than to replace labor. In the face of the largescale substitution of people by technology, no job can be sustainable. Therefore, it is critical to adapt to the advancement of digital technology by playing out an “education and technology race”, through ways such as developing education and training, improving the learning ability of laborers, and realizing full employment in the process of allround development of human beings.
