I thank Mr. Barnes.

We are looking at increased unemployment. Longer-term unemployment could be higher than it was before Covid-19. There is the possibility of an accelerated shift towards automation in certain sectors and that is very worrying for people who rely on that employment. What is the council's take on what jobs and sectors are most susceptible to that shift towards automation?
