As ... as

Hello, everyone Emotion: smile


I have a quick question regarding the construction <as ... as ...>, and the sentence that's bothering me now is this:


A problem which is as common as the robots are taking our jobs is that the robots are taking our judgment.


Regarding the underscored part of the sentence, I am not sure about the grammaticality of the structure, though the meaning of it is rather clear.


Thanks in advance for your wonderful insights.

It would make more sense with quotation marks. A problem which is as common as "the robots are taking our jobs" is that the robots are taking our judgment. All in all, it's an odd little sentence.
