Jobs at risk due to AI by 2030

Jobs at risk due to AI by 2030

Explore how AI may disrupt nearly 12 million US jobs by 2030, highlighting at-risk roles and the growth of higher-wage professions.

The article discusses a study by the McKinsey Global Institute that predicts nearly 12 million US workers may need to switch jobs by 2030 due to the impact of AI and other factors. Lower-wage workers are expected to be most affected, with up to 14 times more likely to need to change occupations. The study identifies four categories of jobs that will see the most declines: office support, customer service and sales, food services, and production work. However, higher-wage professions in industries like healthcare, tech, and transportation are expected to grow.
