TL;DR: The Future of Jobs Report 2020
Due to recent COVID-19 pandemic, 50% of employers reported that they will accelerate automation in their businesses, while over 80% are set to expand the digitization of their work processes.
AUTOMATION & DIGITIZATION technically mean replacing workforce with technology.
Technological adoption by companies will transform tasks, jobs, and skills by 2025.
This will cause some jobs that have been lost within this period to never come back, and those that do will require new ways of working and new skills.
The future job market will have a high demand for positions that deal with technology and data, while repetitive jobs, such as accounting clerks and sales representatives, will become irrelevant.
Here are the roles that will be highly sought-after:
1. Data analysts and scientists
2. AI and machine learning specialists
3. Big Data specialists
4. Digital marketing and strategy specialists
5. Process automation specialists
6. Business development professionals
7. Digital transformation specialists
8. Information security analysts
9. Software and application developers
10. Internet of Things specialists
11. Project managers
12. Business services and administration managers
13. Database and network professionals
14. Robotics engineers
15. Strategic advisors
16. Management and organisation analysts
17. Fintech engineers
18. Mechanics and machinery repairers
19. Organisational development specialists
20. Risk management specialists
While here are the roles that will increasingly become more redundant in the coming years:
1. Data entry clerks
2. Administrative and executive secretaries
3. Accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll clerks
4. Accountants and auditors
5. Assembly and factory workers
6. Business services and administration managers
7. Client information and customer service workers
8. General and operations managers
9. Mechanics and machinery repairs
10. Material-recording and stock-keeping clerks
11. Financial analysts
12. Postal service clerks
13. Sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, tech and science products
14. Relationship managers
15. Bank tellers and related clerks
16. Door-to-door sales, news, and street vendors
17. Electronic & telecom installers and repairmen
18. Human resources specialists
19. Training & development specialists
20. Construction labourers
On a side note, I have made some web application at my disposal to make my life a bit easier and do hope that it can generate more side income.
However, it’s not fully automate at this point of time due to some limitation and restriction that I won’t go into much at this post.
