NEWS Robot threat A third of workers are worried their job will be automated within 10 years, new research has revealed. One in 10 workers believes they'll lose their job within two years, and UK employers are failing to prepare staff for the impact of automation according to payroll firm ADP. "Automation may seem like an issue for future generations, but our findings show that machines could replace thousands of employees in as few as five years," says Jeff Phipps, ADP's managing director. "By starting to upskill and retrain workers now, employers can ensure they and their employees are as ready as possible to work side-byside with the machines," he added.
