Unemployment is set for record levels.

The future is bleak for most workers.

Robots will replace a quarter of business services workers by 2035, says Deloitte

Simon Barnes, a Deloitte partner, said that the sector?s workforce would ?fundamentally change over the next 10 to 20 years?. Humans are likely to be liberated from ?repetitive and highly structured? roles, while new higher-skilled positions are expected to be created to replace them.

Mark Carney, the Bank of England Governor, said last month that many of the jobs and industries we are now familiar with ?will be gone tomorrow?. The rising speed of technological change threatens to make it difficult to choose a career, and for young people to plan their lives, he said.

As our populations grow by birth rate and migration. What will all these people do to have enough money to live on?

Minimum wage, equal rights, etc. Mean nothing if there is no job to find.
