Blair Think-Tank

 

Interesting report:

The relative success of pandemic-era working from home could result in as many as 6m white-collar jobs being moved overseas, Tony Blair's think-tank has warned this morning.

 

The last year has loosened the geographical ties of work, argues a new report from the think-tank, that makes it possible "anywhere jobs" could be done overseas.

 

A report by the former prime minister's think tank said that the remote working "mass experiment" had made white-collar roles vulnerable to being shipped overseas.

 

About 5.9 million jobs — 18 per cent of the UK's workforce — could be move offshore, the report found.

 

Economists, accountants, graphic designers and software experts face unemployment on a scale similar to the loss of manufacturing jobs in the Eighties and Nineties "but on an accelerated timeframe", it said.
