CES 2018: Concept robots designed to eliminate service sector jobs

Tech giant is rolling out new robots to replace workers in hotels, airports and supermarkets.  (CNBC, 1/4/2018)

On Thursday, LG said it will showcase three new "concept robots" at the global consumer electronics show, CES, in Las Vegas next week. Those robots are designed for commercial use at hotels, airports and supermarkets, according to the company. An LG spokesman later told CNBC that the robots are still "concept" products and that they are "a long way from ready to go public."

Or not, if LG Electronics has its way.  The service-providing sectors will account for the majority of the projected job growth.

But then again, "a long way from ready to go public" could take us beyond 2024.
