The statistic depicts the results of a survey conducted between May and June 2018 in Japan about people's opinion on the possibility of new and better-paying jobs due to robots and computers doing much of the current human work. The survey revealed that the majority of respondents, about 58 percent, didn't think that new and better-paying jobs would likely appear if robots and computers were able to do much of human labor.
