Report: Almost one-third of Arizona jobs at risk due to automation
According to a report by Kempler Industries, Arizona could lose 28% of its workforce, or 782,150 jobs, to automation. But Research Professor of Economics Lee McPheters says most workers shouldn't worry too much about the report because he sees the state shifting more jobs over to those with higher skills and salaries.
