Not even AI can kill them: jobs that will last until 2030

The World Economic Forum reviews from time to time AI driven trends and how this could affect the work, and now the study came out Future of Jobs Report, where he provides insight into how automation could lead to the extinction of some jobs and how others could survive and even thrive between now and 2030.

Of course, there are endangered jobs in the report:

• Cashiers and customer service employees at retail outlets: Automated cash registers and mobile payment apps are reducing the need for human interaction during transactions, which directly impacts these roles.
• Postal employees and bank tellers: The development of email, digital platforms and the digitization of financial services such as online banking are changing the relevance of these positions.
• Administrative Assistants and Executive Secretaries: Management software, smart calendars, agents and virtual assistants automate many of the tasks traditionally performed by these workers, reducing the demand for these profiles.

Jobs that will strengthen despite the advent of AI

The report highlights that while some employment sectors will face significant declines, others will see marked growth, especially those that require human interaction or involve basic needs.

• Agricultural workers: caused by the need to guarantee food security in the face of population growth.
• Delivery drivers: The growth of e-commerce and personalized logistics is driving the expansion of this sector.
• builders: Infrastructure projects and sustainable urban development continue to generate high demand in this sector.

• Nurses, personal assistants and social workers: The growing aging population in many advanced and emerging economies is creating a high demand for staff in the health and care sector.
• Counselors and therapists: Increased awareness of mental health is driving demand for professionals trained in these areas.

• Teachers and educators: The need to prepare future generations for an ever-changing job market is driving the expansion of education jobs.

Technical jobs with the highest projected growth include:

• Big Data Specialists: The growing dependence of companies on analyzing large volumes of data to make strategic decisions creates a high demand for these specialists.
• Fintech engineers and specialists in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning: Automation of financial processes and integration of intelligent systems are areas of rapid expansion.
• Software and Application Developers: The digitalization of services, both in the private and public sectors, creates a constant need for professionals developing innovative technological solutions.
