[Closed] 10.8m jobs set to be replaced by robots in the next 20 years...

[urlam[/url] I do think the anti-immigration bunch have got hold of the wrong end of the stick rather... If anything's going to increase inequality it's the replacement of people by machines for doing low-skilled jobs. Look at your Tesco and Sainsbury Local's for e.g. - hardly any staff and loads of self-service tills. Of course, new industries and jobs will replace the lost jobs - who went to uni in the 90's and ever wanted to be an app developer or social media marketer? But the transition period, especially for the lower-skilled, may not be much fun

Surely we can't all make a living from selling each other cups of coffee?
