Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Automation

March 13, 2019 2:03 PM - Season 6, Episode 3

The main story is on Automation, a fundamental aspect of industry that has been with us since the dawn of the industrial age, but which doesn't often get talked about in a nuanced manner. Are our jobs vulnerable to it or will it result in new jobs, and how should we react? The main story is available to watch on YouTube.
