The question I've been tussling with a few years has been somewhat related, but deals with the role of the digital age and the automation of work processes.

While this is a decades (century?) old debate, I'd be interested to learn whether (and if so, how) the process of job creation has been able to keep up with the automation in the digital age, particularly now automation is increasingly extending into the services sector (financials, banking, accounting).

That question popped up reading this and this.
