Sorry, but I am not sure I understand. Automation is in things like factories, back offices.. Those things are not entirely unskilled.
While you still have plenty of unskilled labour jobs in services/food/entertainment and they haven't yet invented robots to pick strawberries - which in the UK is something we use season immigrants for.
- varjag 10y agoIn a bizarre recent trend, people are starting to call anyone without college education 'unskilled'. A decent toolroom machinist required more training and did more mentally challenging work than many office workers with 'soft' college degrees. These are indeed the kind of jobs that were lost to automation. Truly unskilled labor was replaced not by robots but by cheaper unskilled labor of other people.
