Overall, demand effects are anticipated to outweigh automation’s moderating influence on employment, supporting continued job expansion in this critical sector of the economy. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
