Caption

Researchers have analysed two cities in the US - Burlington (Vermont) and Bloomington (Indiana) - which are the same size and have the same percentage of job occupations but are differently prepared for the future job shock that automation will cause. Bloomington has a less-diverse network and, therefore, workers who are displaced by automation will have more problems finding work in the city, they predict.
