Robots will cut 25% of US jobs in 4 years, transform workforce – report

The encroachment of self-help kiosks and grocery store scanners has led doomsayers to suggest automation threatens the workforce of the future. A new report argues it will create new business sectors and new jobs as well.
By studying large companies in various industries, from Delta Airlines Inc. to Whole Foods Market Inc., as well as many startups, analysts have forecast that automation will erase 22.7 million jobs by 2025, or 16 percent of today’s total.
The prediction comes in a report titled “The Future of Jobs, 2025: Working Side-By-Side with Robots,” published by Forrester Research this week. The study’s findings were drawn from government employment data, and interviews with businesses and academics.
Automation in daily life is already prevalent and expanding beyond the grocery store scanner. Robots are now delivering room service to guests in the Aloft hotel in San Francisco, and self-service kiosks filling orders at delis rather than humans.
Lowe’s hardware is testing Oshbot, a robotic sales assistant that can answer questions, and show customers a floorplan of the store or lead them directly to products they seek. It was recently featured in an RT segment.

Tech was supposed to free the slaves,
so that they have Free Time to spread their butterfly wings.
But if you're a Slave-Owner,
assassinate me for pointing that out
so that you can continue to
cram butterflies into a blender
& profit off of butterfly goo.

All the more reason to end the need to work, to add Our Human energy, to survive. Free Humanity from the inability to pursue happiness, from having to find some way to plug Our energy in for accounting tokens. For the reader unfamiliar with My work, please see My blog here.

People get sacked and impoverished. And you know how the criminal cabal reduces poverty, by killing the poor.
