Here's a link to do a lookup: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...niversity-one/. You can do a search in the table.

There may be nuanced differences, so look up synonyms for your job. For example, my initial guess of market research analyst is 61% likely to be automated, but survey researcher is only 23 percent likely to be automated, and management analysis is only 13 percent. I might also be a marketing manager (kind of), which is only 1.4 percent likely. If I average these, I figure I'm about 24.6 percent likely to have my job go away in the future.

Again, even cotton pickers aren't getting off the hook.

Um, what?

The actuarial industry is expecting strong growth as we continue to be more and more data driven. As a health actuary, we aren’t going anywhere.

I have worked in a factory for a long time cutting open bags and dumping them into bins. It still looks like a long ways off that it is automated. Lifeline foods here in st joseph is the same way. You get 16 an hour for sweeping corn. You would think that they would automate that but there is no plans or talk of it at all.

I cut bags open and dump them into buckets.

That is why eventually we will have no choice but to move to socialism. Its going to suck. If even 35% of your workforce cant work - then government & society needs to start paying people just to exist & take shits. Universal Basic Income. The idiots you see now playing video games on Twitch, making YouTube content. They are ahead of the curve actually. That is where we are headed and how many will make money.

Uh as a sys admin, I spend a decent amount of time already automating monotonous tasks. However DevOps is bringing a lot more to play in my area of field.

If I had to guess, i'd say 25%. Not everyone is bleeding edge either due to manpower, knowledge or money. It's not cheap to implement, let alone manage. I think most managers think once you automate something, you step back and forget about it. But there's care and feeding to keep it going.

I can see them automating your job, but I don't see them ever automating the buckets' jobs.

I don't know....I've seen that hammer being used for the last 50 years - each and every political season - the "wannabes" tell us that "THEY" (the government I guess) is going to take our social security away - yet here it is.

So no - I'm not too worried about that.

automation won't be for your job, your job will be eliminated because of better processing equipment eliminates the spoils and/or need to hand load material.

Your job has already been automated. As a robot, you just don't have the self-awareness to realize it.

.6% woo woo!

It seems like automating the job of 'professional football player' would solve a lot of the challenges the NFL is facing. No more concussions, no more big contract demands, no more domestic violence scandals, no more drug testing...you know they're working on it.

So would you watch football if it was played by robots?

Wouldn't it be the exact same team....just with a different logo and uniform?
