Does that meant we should apply for jobs that listed in the future list when fresh man enter into job market?
How about those workers already working in the declining list, they must be getting hurt later.
I am going to apply for job probably in accounting field so I am thinking whether it is a good choice after reading this article.

It's good to have knowledge and skills in several fields as life is constantly changing and many things are uncertain.

@Acefun That's true! I often did 2 or even 3 jobs when I was working. I am retired now.

I only know that it will be difficult to find jobs in future. I'm already facing it in oil and gas industry that I'm working in.

A small portion of human is still needed to monitor the automation processes.
The extra one might be doing other jobs that not relate to their working experience so their pay might get affected as well. If those jobs are not transferable to other company, the workers will be stuck at the same company forever, unless they want to start from the beginning in new company.

I do not have time to read the article. However the jobs market has changed considerably over the past 50 years. Less people doing jobs other people were employed to do due to more technology being available to make the work load easier to cope with! The service industry will always need actual people to do their jobs!

it hard to say whether the current job will be impacted by the changes and how the company are going to treat you at that them.
