Uniqlo cut 90% of staff at one warehouse by replacing them with robots
Modern societies are going to have a very real problem to grapple with as this replacement goes from newsworthy to the norm. This could result in significant worker displacement with massive bottom-line ROI for companies in the next decade or two, particularly as minimum wages rise.<p>I&#x27;m not of the opinion that this automation will create an equal number of jobs for the ones they replace. Even if they do, it is unlikely those new positions will employ the same degree of skilled worker.<p>Assuming a net unskilled job reduction due to automation in a couple of decades, what happens as this becomes pervasive in a society?
