That’s a good thought-provoking article, and its main point is worth of discussion, but the chart is distracting me. I find it interesting that the chart shows commercial drivers and ambulance drivers growing by +37% and +33%, but the news now says all those drivers are going to be unemployed soon. Two of the other fastest growing jobs are predicted to be cartographers and genetic counselors.
Cartographers? Are we expected to be mapping new territory of a lost continent in the next decade? Of course, new maps of known places - mapping things differently or overlaying different data on the maps - can reveal new information. But GIS and other software makes that way less intensive than it has ever been. That seems another position likely to be automated out the moment it becomes profitable to do so.
I can see genetic counselors as being a thing, since we seem to be well into a full-on sci-fi dystopia now, but how big is the market for that? Is Gattaca secretly a documentary?
