A paper by Julian Jacobs of Oxford and Google DeepMind surveyed 8,234 working-age adults in the UK, US, Denmark and India.

Only 26% of classified workers valued their job mainly for pay, while one third valued the work itself, according to the paper as reported by Rohan Paul on X.

The paper argues that guaranteed income alone may not compensate for lost non-monetary benefits such as purpose and community if AI automates many jobs.
