Substitute

Can you please explain what is substitute in substitute machines?

be ready for this one, that'll mean fewer jobs because with a higher minimum wage, employers will substitute machines which send their jobs abroad

"employers will substitute machines" means that machines will replace human workers. "... which send their jobs abroad" reads oddly here.
