Testing the automation revolution hypothesis

Keller Scholl and Robin Hanson

Economics Letters, 2020, vol. 193, issue C

Abstract: Wages and employment predict automation in 832 U.S. jobs, 1999 to 2019, but add little to top 25 O*NET job features, whose best predictive model did not change over this period. Automation changes predict changes in neither wages nor employment.
