According to the United States’ Bureau of Labor Statistics the largest occupations add up to 29.7 million jobs, out of around 126 million jobs in the US today (according to Statista). How many of these jobs are under threat from automation?
When looking at the breakdown of jobs distributed across the US the threat from technology becomes even starker: how many of these industries face challenges and human job losses from automation?
That’s 34.5%, or over a third of US jobs potentially lost with automation–and the news gets ever worse: according to the BBC, 800 million jobs will be lost worldwide by 2030.
We can brace ourselves, but that requires listening and agreement. Godspeed to us All.
