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.

As a retired but part-time delivery driver just to keep me busy it said 60+%. I'm betting it will take until after I'm tired of this gig.

0% chance.

About as safe as I would a car that is automated, not much at all. I mean, I have seen the blue screen of Windows. Know what I mean?

I'm in high tech software sales, so the chance of automating that process is extremely slim.

There are so many aspects in a cockpit that can’t be automated with current technology. Even so, with automated vehicles, tractors, trains, etc. There is a human element that just can’t be replaced for safety.

Right. That's kind of where I'm at.

I've posted about automation several times on here. It's a freight train coming to change our society. AI and cheap processing power is putting this into overdrive. I personally designed a plan a couple of months ago that will render over 100 jobs obsolete. Many >$100K.

People can ignore it until their family or neighbor loses their job but its already here. Every scientific study/article I've read says 30%-40% of current jobs will be lost. The worst unemployment % in the depression of the 30's was 22%. Every field will be affected. Those who think in this poll that it wont effect them are delusional. No job or field will be spared.

Just think of the societal change coming. There will be an estimated 5% gain in jobs with automation. But, your still at depression level unemployment. We are going to have to institute some level of basic income for citizens to keep them off the street and starving, prevent riots.

I hope we embrace this evolution because these lost jobs are never coming back. You cant stop the automation train.

Mother Deere don't play that way, so there has to be an operator in the machine that is responsible for collision avoidance.

maybe thats what you make the sensors for, it shocks the kid and puts him down until the equipment gets done doing its job

21% for actuaries. Seems about right. The data/predictive analytics part of the field is already heading that way.

We are a consumer economy more than anything else now. Have you taken into account that your field will have 30% less global and USA customers?

I dunno....I'm retired. I guess that at least for me - death is the final "automation"

This thread is nothing but a forum for humblebrags about jobs. Come on, I know some of you are cotton pickers or something.

If your getting Social Security money, you'll be effected. When revenues fall and people are desperate, you think politicians wont go after the piggy bank of social security funds? Hell, they already do it now.
