Automation to take 85m jobs, but will be replaced by almost 100m new ones

The appearance of the coronavirus has accelerated the automation of the labor market. The pandemic-driven advancement of technology will make the division of working time between people and machines almost equal by 2025. This may translate into the liquidation of as much as 85 million jobs over the next five years. At the same time, 97 million new jobs are to be created in their place, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF) report.
