Do We Need A Recruitment Agency For Robots?

The number of industrial robots in operation around the world has grown rapidly in recent years, but nowhere more so than in China, where some 30% of the world's robots are in operation. This growth has prompted many to ponder whether humans are being pushed out of the workforce in favor of their robotic brethren. This isn't really born out by the evidence however. For instance, a study from a few years ago suggests that such fears of widespread job displacement may be somewhat overblown. The study saw over 300 occupations examined over a 33 year time-scale from 1980 to try and examine the impact of automation.
