The development of technology has made many things easier. Like communication that can be done through video calls, there is no need to do it face to face anymore.
But this means that a lot has changed with technology, including jobs. A number of jobs that previously used human labor have finally been replaced by machines. In 2019, according to an analysis by Oxford Economics, there were 20 million manufacturing jobs in the world that will be replaced by robots by 2030. weaker and the unemployment rate is higher, they are more likely to lose their jobs to be replaced by robots. Here is a list of jobs that are replaced by machines,
1. Assembling and Factory Workers
Almost all major manufacturing jobs use robots to make millions of different products. Computers can even assemble cars and other products. Many robots like Baxter and Sawyer from Rethink Robotics can be programmed by anyone. This job no longer requires skilled technicians to program the robot to do its job.
2. Bus, Taxi and Truck Driver
In recent years, autonomous cars have been the subject of much discussion. It may not take long for the vehicle to become a reality and be widely used on the road. This also creates a lot of potential job losses. For example replacing drivers of buses, trucks or other transportation jobs. There are even solutions for autonomously operated heavy vehicles. For example bulldozers, drilling and hauling in mining or construction.
3. Telephone operators, telemarketers and receptionists
With voice recognition technology becoming more sophisticated, it will be easier for companies to replace the role of people in the work of operators or telemarketers.
4. Cashier
A number of stores are currently implementing self-checkout. Where there is no person on duty as a cashier, but checking and payment for goods purchased are carried out by the buyer himself. Maybe there will still be people who supervise the operation of the cash register. But this will replace work that used to require several people.
5. Tellers and Bank Employees
Maybe until now there are some activities that require us to go to the bank. There customers will be served by bank employees including tellers. They will serve for customers to make deposits or withdraw money. However, with advances in technology, financial transactions and even the development of digital money such as Bitcoin allows customers to transact from gadgets without the need to come to the bank office again.
6. Packing Officer, Storage Room, and Warehouse
Robots can be tasked with doing jobs that humans would normally do to pack or move things. Amazon has commissioned a robot.
7. Pharmacy Workers
There are a number of pharmacies that are replacing their pharmacy technicians with robots to separate and handle their customers' prescriptions. The robot will help prevent errors and requires a small space like a robot arm to work.
8. Information Gatherers, Analysts and Researchers
Some law firms are replacing paralegals and other staff with e-discovery lawyers and research robots. Robots are capable of combing through millions of documents and finding relevant facts and data such as phone numbers and emails based on keywords. Many financial analysts are being replaced by computers designed to analyze and find patterns and trends in financial data. Such patterns and trends can automatically invest and find opportunities or financial risks.
9. Pilot
The military in the US is already using autonomous drones to carry out surveillance and even attack without the use of assistance. Maybe in the future drones will be even more sophisticated and spread to other sectors. For example, working on flying cargo planes. Even this page says there are companies that want to replace their pilots with the help of computers and remotely assisted by pilots.
10. Bartenders
Several companies are reportedly already employing a system to replace the bartender in charge of serving drinks. Services like Briggo even replace baristas with robots to make popular drinks or learn to make new ones.
