I read this article from World Economic Forum called 5 things to know about the future of jobs. The link is as below: What is your opinion about it?
These some of the trends likely to influence the world of work between now and 2022, according to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs report 2018.

All the things are correct. I think the next is to control of the machines or robots over human beings.

@DeborahK.Mitchell @DEBJANIBASAK 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.

learning new thing from a complete different background in a short time and then apply to new job is difficult. [change career path] You need a lot of time and concentration to learn and at the same time perform well at the present duty.

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.

@Acefun there cannot be enough robot supervizing jobs to sustain a whole human population

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!

Does it meant that fresh graduates enter into work force will have stable jobs and higher income for students with IT and/or engineering background compare to business students such as accounting? What should I do?

@Acefun is it possible that there will be a lot of unemployment if the human labor is replaced by robots?

@leny34 I think that will depend on the company whether they will reduce thw workforce or place them for training and let them work in other department with what they have been trained.
