The jobs that will be lost in the next ten years are here

By 2030 whole industries will be destroyed

In the next two years, we will constantly overestimate the change and underestimate it in the next 10 - Bill Gates Bill Gates

My friends, we're at the beginning of a really humpy path. As automation, AI, quantum computing, blockchain, and incompatible multinationals intrude on the workforce and take over the world economy, we are watching an employment catastrophe to an extent that has never happened before in the history of humanity.

We do not know the precise statistics, but the automation projections imply that 800 to 2 billion jobs alone in the next 10 years may upset this situation.

This will generate tremendous economic and political turmoil and will inspire future generations and fatal caution as we cope with the unemployment problem.

Let's dig into a few of the chopping block jobs.

Drivers

Uber and Lyft detest their staff so badly that they refuse to call them staff and spend hundreds of millions of dollars on disregarding their labor rights.

Do not expect them to be more dignified when self-employed automobiles are readily accessible as replacements to their wealthy makers.

The same applies to conventional taxis.

And drivers of pizza supply.

And the drivers of the limo.

And the drivers of the vehicle.

And the Amazon and Alibaba package delivery drivers use the drones on our skies.

Bankers

The progressives sing, good riddance.

The banking sector is, after all, a big vampire of the productive economy.

No one more banks offline, therefore there is a 98% likelihood of job losses for loan officers. In the US alone and the United Kingdom, they estimate around 2 million bank employment losses.

Accountants and bookkeepers

In particular, tax preparers are doomed.

I know almost all e-files, and more people use tax applications.

IBM AI platform, Watson, is now using H&R Block.

The majority of workers in the United Kingdom do not even have to file since this is done in their own interest.

Telemarketers

There are still over 9,000 telemarketing businesses in America it is difficult to comprehend.

And I know what you think: "No more spam calls, Hallelujah!"

But these firms have over 500,000 employees in our neighbors. And, in the decade ahead, the Guardian expects a 99% likelihood of automated telemarketing. It is only sensible because the likelihood of a colder call being sold is so minimally and the great majority of consumers now go online to discover what they need.

Cashiers

I dislike self-checkout kiosks at supermarkets, but let's face it. Major companies — from Kroger to McDonald's – would want to replace their all-around personnel with customer-free counters.

The kiosks are even taken out by Heck, Amazon, and Whole Foods. The future is self-service, whether we like it or not.

Furthermore, internet shopping continues to dominate in-house sales and we have a 97% probability of millions losing their livelihood.

These are hardly the only occupations that are gone

We will lose millions in the decades ahead:

  • Agency for Travel (as people use Booking.com and community-destroying vacation sites like Airbnb)
  • Legal assistants and paralegals (94 percent chance of automation)
  • Chefs for fast food (hello robo-flippers)
  • Composers (hey Google)
  • Translators and translators (hey Google)
  • Booksellers (hey Google)
  • Librarians (hey Amazon)
  • Coal miners and petrol workers (arrived sun/wind/geo)
  • Professors (expect more and better online schools like iTunes U)
  • Waiting parking metres (no more human grace, just tyrannical robotic surveillance)
  • Controllers and pilots for air traffic (think: drones and unmanned carriers)
  • Reporters of the newspaper (probably the saddest loss on the list)
  • Workers in the cinema (sing it with me: Streaming killed the cinema star)
  • Fishermen and lumberjack (and janes)...

If we can just dismiss politicians and their business supporters against democracy.

But new jobs are going to be established, right?

Sure.

Maybe.

But such jobs are more likely to gig in the vampire economy—with less safety, less compensation, and less saying.

Future occupations will demand a lot more knowledge as well. And we can forecast that it will be the largest debt trap ever constructed if we know something about the corporatist capture of post-secondary education systems.

And will we really be able to offer everyone full-time true-living wages without the breakdown of the global environment when we add 2+ billion people to the world in our lives?

I'm really skeptical about it.

Also: it takes time to create whole new industries. Unemployed persons have to wait decades for new employment to materialize before they return to school in their 40's or 50's.

This is always the most dangerous changeover time.

Well... my work is safe, at least!

You may be in one of the areas of automatic security: occupational therapists, physicians, surgeons, clergy, etc.

Do not read that and say, "Whew, that does not impact me." This doesn't affect me.

Because he does. Because he does.

Great time. Great time.

First, unemployment will cause huge competitive pressure on jobs that are safe for automation.

Second, estimations indicate that 50% of today's labor duties can be automated. So sub-employment is likely to be persistent and systemic even for those who do not get their jobs.

Third, tens of millions of people are supporting individuals for housing, feed, support, re-train, and relocate in billions in transition to work.

The government needs to hike its taxes—the ultra-elite won't be fair enough—or steal your taxes by printing more money, picking up prices and reducing your purchasing power.

Even while job-killing automation benefits mainly the richest of the wealthy, you will pay for it in any manner when it comes to economic consequences.

Doing the right thing

We need extensive help for the jobless, underworkers, and underpaid — I talk about living full costs and re-education costs that are covered till they are securely back on their feet.

Human labor has generated for their shareholder's hundreds of billions in value, therefore it is only reasonable that those elites should pay their due part in caring for those who took care of them lavishly.

Yes, we need a robot tax for 100 percent.

But whether or not the elites are waking up and realizing the reality they are creating remains to be seen.

In order to create a place for others, we must all open our hearts, homes, and wallets.

And otherwise, we will see thousands of other cities swamped in the streets of LA, New York, with legitimately furious and permanently unemployed.

Have fun running any company or economy in the middle of anarchy.
