This is an important issue made even more relevant today with the rapid emergence of robotic technologies, the roll out of driverless cars, robotic trucks and much else besides. Nobel-winning economist Joe Stiglitz has a new paper out on the topic - http://www.nber.org/papers/w20670

Here are some other relevant articles:

Daily Mail: New report warns 50 per cent of occupations will be redundant in 11 years time
