Experts warn: These job groups could disappear by 2030

Experts have announced that at least two-thirds of some jobs currently being performed could be done by artificial intelligence within the next 10 years. For this reason, professions in the fields of robotics and data science are expected to become popular, while jobs such as printing and cashiering are expected to be erased from history.

PROFESSIONS THAT WILL BE ERASED FROM HISTORY BY 2030

TRAVEL CONSULTING

There was a time when booking your summer vacation meant stopping by a travel agency, browsing through a few brochures, and having a cheerful sales representative put everything together on a large computer. Now, with the abundance of easy-to-use comparison websites, everyone can arrange their own vacation. Many travel operators have realized this and are closing their branches to focus on their online offerings.

CASHIER

With the rise of contactless payments, Apple Pay, and even cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in mainstream society, debates over the reality of a cashless society have intensified over the last few years. Subsequently, self-service checkouts and stations have begun to become widespread globally.

FAST FOOD WORKER

Fast food chains looking to operate at lower costs are expected to transition to full automation systems in the near future. According to a 2013 study, 81 percent of fast food workers will lose their jobs due to automation. US-based CaliBurger has already begun testing an automated workforce with AI-driven, burger-flipping kitchen assistants.

MAIL CARRIER

While couriers will still be needed to deliver packages, things are not looking good for traditional mail carriers who deliver letters. The main reason for this is that over the next 20 years, bills and statements will be viewed and paid online, junk mail will move from your mailbox to your email inbox, and letters will no longer be handwritten, as it is a long-dying art.

BANK EMPLOYEE

While banks will not disappear entirely, many local branches will. This is due to the convenience and user-friendly nature of online and telephone banking, where you can conduct transactions and manage your account with ease from the comfort of your home. People will still need to consult with financial advisors and experts, so banks will remain open; however, there will be far fewer of them.

TEXTILE WORKER

The declining number of employees in the textile industry is not due to a lack of demand for products, but rather how they are produced. There are now fewer opportunities for textile workers because of machines that can perform many manufacturing and production tasks.

PRINTING PRESS OPERATOR

With more time and content being dedicated to online versions of various publications, there has been a debate for some time regarding the future of the print media industry. This situation means that printing press operators may face a significant decline in their jobs. However, one thing is certain: the printed newspaper is coming to an end. With an absolute wealth of online resources offering minute-by-minute coverage, why wait until tomorrow to read the news? (Memurlar.net)
