Projected professions and industries to be impacted by job loses (US data)

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

These are the jobs that are disappearing the fastest in the US at the moment. Expect this to become a global trend as technology disrupts the workplace.

Here is the list in order of biggest job losses:

1. Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks
2. Cooks, fast food
3. Postal service mail carriers
4. Executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants
5. Farmworkers and laborers, crop, nursery, and greenhouse
6. Sewing machine operators
7. Tellers
8. Postal service mail sorters, processors, and processing machine operators
9. Cutting, punching, and press machine setters, operators, and tenders, metal and plastic
10. Switchboard operators, including answering service
11. Molding, coremaking, and casting machine setters, operators, and tenders, metal and plastic
12. Computer programmers
