The robot revolution may not have replaced us yet, but automation is undoubtedly creeping its way into many careers.
Hundreds of jobs now require some level of robotics skills, a new analysis from career website Zippia found. Nearly 1,000 job titles now have robotics-related requirements, the study found, which it defined as degree of autonomy, a set of intended tasks, and ability to function without human intervention. Of 985 such jobs it found in its database, 492 job titles were listed multiple times in fields that had robotics-related requirements.
The insurance industry is about to get a whole lot weirder
The manufacturing industry has already been hit by automation, which has impacted employment in the U.S. auto industry. But what other industries are next?
The health field is particularly at risk, with the highest share — 68 positions — on its list. The job where you’ll most likely have to work with a robot? Decal applicator, which entails affixing labels to a number of products, including bikes, cars and bottles. It found the category had 2,711 listings involving robotics — almost four times as many as any other job. This doesn’t mean robots have taken over those jobs, only that they are assisting — some have suggested the robot revolution could lead to higher wages in industries where automation takes over.
Here are the job titles that most require candidates to interact with robots and automation, according to Zippia. decal applicators, dermatologists, applied anthropologists, urologists, computer-aided drafters, tank drivers, indirect fire infantrymen and women, robotic welders and robotics engineers.
Technology entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of Facebook FB, and Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft MSFT, -0.03% have warned about the threat of automation and artificial intelligence stealing tens of millions of jobs. A total of 25 million jobs will be? eliminated by technology by 2027, a study from market research company Forrester Research found, and a separate study from economists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston University argued that six workers will lose their positions for every robot added.
However, the automation revolution isn’t all bad for human workers: 15 million new jobs will be created in the U.S. over the next decade as a result of technology and 25% of jobs will be transformed, and not replaced. These positions are largely in finance, medicine and farming, the study found.
