Robots in Midwest

Brookings:

Where are the robots, exactly? One answer—if you read the steady flow of doomy articles online — is that automation is everywhere, not just all over the media but (you would have to conclude) thoroughly infiltrating the economy. In that sense, the trend seems omnipresent even as it spawns a kind of free-floating dread amongst the chattering class.

Yet, that can’t be right. Almost nothing in today’s economy is evenly distributed, whether it be technologyproductivity, output, or inclusive prosperity. And so it is worth getting more specific about where exactly automation may displace workers — and where not.

Fascinating…
