Jobs in the north of England will be the most affected by automation, according to research from The Centre for Cities . High numbers of low skill workers in areas such as England , Stoke , Doncaster and Blackburn mean that more than a quarter of jobs are at risk from robots in the next 10 years . In contrast, high-skill regions like Cambridge and Stoke will see only 13% of jobs under threat. “Overall the new wave of technology and investment should create jobs and prosperity” says the Daily Telegraph, “but the change will be wrenching, and the costs and benefits unevenly spread”. While technology will create new positions, a large section of Mansfield workers will need to be re-skilled to avoid becoming "technologically unemployed", Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldene said.
