Will your job be replaced by a robot any time soon?

A website, appropriately named willrobotstakemyjob.com, claims to have the answer.

The site uses a methodology to estimate the probability of computerization for 702 occupations.

According to the data, nearly half of all jobs are at risk. Yikes!

The website ranks jobs from “totally safe” to “you are doomed.”

We checked “news reporter” and were thankful to see the probability was very low, at just 11 percent probability of automation. Phew.

Taxi drivers, librarians and brickmasons on the other hand might need to start looking for another line of work.
