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.

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.
