Bulls**t jobs

From The Panel, 4:32 pm on 14 May 2018

A professor at the London School of Economics has a new book called "Bullshit Jobs". In it, he details how whole industries are made up of jobs that are a waste of time.

He says that it would make no difference to the world if jobs in industries like telemarketing, corporate law, financial or management consultation, totally disappeared.

We ask the panelists if the author is exaggerating, or if they agree.
