State of Emergency in Charlottesville, Virginiaby NBC NEWSA car plowed into a crowd of counter-protesters after a white nationalist and Alt-Right 'Unite the Right' rally devolved into rioting.
Hundreds of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and members of the "alt-right" march down East Market Street toward Lee Park during the "Unite the Right" rally on August 12, 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia. After clashes with protesters, police said the rally was declared an unlawful gathering and people were forced out of Lee Park, where a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee is slated to be removed.
One person was killed and at least nine others were injured after a car plowed through a group of counter-protesters who were demonstrating against the alt-right and white nationalist rally.

This is part of the first installment of Future of Work, an Associated Press series that will explore how workplaces across the U.S. and the world are being transformed by technology and global pressures. As more employers move, shrink or revamp their work sites, many employees are struggling to adapt. At the same time, workers with in-demand skills or knowledge are benefiting. Advanced training, education or know-how is becoming a required ticket to the 21st-century workplace.

Apprentices stand at workstations at the automation learning center at the Festo distribution facility, Wednesday, May 17, 2017 in Mason, Ohio. Lou Morales, who trains the apprentices, understands the negative images associated with manufacturing. Years ago, he showed up at his steel mill at Glen Cove, New York, to find he no longer had a job after it shut down suddenly. "I've never seen so many padlocks in my life," recalled Morales, 60. But now he assures young people that "the future is endless" for them in manufacturing because new kinds of jobs are being created and the skills they are learning are in high demand.

Mechatronics combines electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as computer skills. After completing Stihl's four-year apprenticeship program, he will read diagnostic software on computer screens attached to robots for repair and maintenance. (AP Photo/John Minchillo)
