“While technology has potentially contributed to the loss of 800,000 lower-skilled jobs, there is equally strong evidence to suggest that it has helped to created nearly 3.5 million newer higher-skilled ones in their place. Each one of these new jobs pays, on average, just under, £10,000 more per annum than the one lost. Crucially, every nation and region of the UK has benefited, and we estimate that this technology-driven change has added £140 billion to the UK’s economy in new wages.”
