The short version

Artificial intelligence and automation could force roughly 11 million workers—about 7% of all employees in the United States—to find new professions by 2035. So says a report released Tuesday by management consulting giant McKinsey, which predicts automation could reduce labor demand in the U.S. by 21%—roughly 36 million jobs—over the next decade.

This means about 770,000 workers would need to switch occupational.

Rightwing economic myths could derail Burnham’s project – to destroy them, look to Keynes | Larry Elliott. Borrowing can be good, there is no such thing as the ‘nation’s credit card’, and, yes, you can buck the markets – as previous governments have shown Andy Burnham does a nice line in nostalgia.
