Robots will eliminate 6% of US jobs by 2021
The Guardian report on robots taking over blue collar jobs, particular in the US and how citizens are worried and how this will have wider effects on the economy, politics, social and environmental factors.
6% could be taken over by robots
increase in unemployment-increase in violence
increase in poverty
I think that this is possible in the US, however in the UK i think it will happen as we are bound to follow America but it will take longer for us to adapt to the change and accept that our jobs will be redundant. This will be a big problem in the UK as a lot of jobs are involved in agriculture and this can easily be replaced by robots, also the UK has many factories such as the Mini factory which has already replaced half of its workforce with robots as they are more efficient.
