Did your city vote for Brexit? A robot might take your job

Cities which voted for Brexit are more likely to see automation taking over a significant portion of their workforce, according to research from the Centre for Cities think tank.

Mansfield, Sunderland and Wakefield were found to be the British cities most at risk of losing jobs to automation and globalisation, with each estimated to lose 29% of jobs by 2030. They had the 1st, 15th and 7th largest proportion of Leave votes out of the UK’s 62 cities respectively.

In the top ten most at-risk cities, only Dundee voted to remain in the EU, with only 40% of its residents voting to leave.

At the other end of the scale, Oxford is only expected to have lost 13% of jobs by 2030 and had one of the lowest number of leave supporters at just 30% (making it the 60th highest Leave-aligned city in the country).
