We speak of the inevitability of automation, and how the day will come when many jobs will be lost to automation, and we wonder which jobs will go first.
I wonder if we shouldn't factor in who is making the decisions on which jobs to automate. If you are the supervisor, and you are deciding where to automate, do you save your own job, but automate out of existence the positions below you? If so, it is the working class who are first in jeopardy.
