According to a report by McKinsey & Company, robots (WARNING auto play video) may take upwards of 800 million jobs from human workers by 2030. Some of the jobs hardest hit are going to be machine operators, fast-food workers, and back-office employees. However, all is not lost because there are other fields that will need a large influx of new employees over that same time period.
The good news for those displaced is that there will be jobs for them to transition into, although in many cases they’re going to have to learn new skills to do the work. Those jobs will include health-care providers for aging populations, technology specialists and even gardeners, according to the report.
