Americans worry robots will take jobs, but not theirs
A survey by Breakwater Strategy and YouGov reveals Americans believe robots will start displacing jobs in five years but not their own. Public comfort varies, with 39% accepting robots at self-checkouts, while support grows for robots in out-of-sight roles like grocery stock rooms. Sentiment toward robotics may shift as deployments expand beyond pilot programs.
