There are also other factors like location to consider. Automation could remove 36 million jobs in the US, 25% of the country’s total workforce, during the next few decades, according to a report by the Brookings Institute. It said a further 52 million, 36%, would face what it called “medium exposure” to automation. The report, which was released on Monday, found that automation will displace more than half of all US workers over the coming decades. Hispanic and black employees were more exposed, said the report, along with rural communities.
