The study finds that the adoption of robots for industrial work contributes to the reduction in average local labor market career values, impacting job transitions.
One additional robot per 1,000 workers decreased the average local market career value by $3.9K between 2004 and 2008 and by $2.48K between 2008 and 2016.
Exposure to robots reduces career value by driving more job transitions to similar-paying jobs and fewer transitions to better-paying ones.
In commuting zones that have been more exposed to robots, the average career value has declined further between 2000 and 2016, especially for low-skilled individuals.
