The second scholarly article that has to do with the topic of robots and job security is titled "How Technology is Destroying Jobs." This article is by an MIT Technology Reviewer by the name of David Rotman. The location of publishing seems to be the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This article cites mostly professionals in the profession of robotics and engineering, along with people who have a profession in areas involving job searching, etc. The intended audience of this piece is anyone who wants to be informed about the issue of the future of robots and how robots can take over human jobs. This article, although the title would seem to show otherwise, does not show a significant bias for the job market. There are key points to both sides of the argument with evidence from both sides as to why robots can and also can not take over the human job market.

These are two very interesting sources, but although they are academic they are not quite what I would define as "scholarly". Try finding peer-reviewed and published articles in the future.
