Brexit, climate change, an economic slowdown and technology are among the factors that could have the greatest impact on jobs in the 2020s, according to the UK’s Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. It looked at four possible workplace scenarios:

The Precision Economy — “a future of hyper-surveillance†where technological progress is moderate, but a proliferation of sensors allows firms to create value by capturing and analysing more information on objects, people and the environment.
The Exodus Economy, where a crash on the scale of 2008 dries up funding for innovation and keeps the UK in a low-skilled and low-paid rut, and workers lose faith in capitalism.
