Sectors Automated in 2021

The economy becoming automated is nothing new. Since the industrial revolution, the world has experienced the implementation of machines to replace simple jobs done by humans. Once memory programable computer chips became widely used in American factories around the 1970s and 80s, we began to see a significant shift.

Today, countries like India are implementing what is known as 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies, especially in the agricultural sector. Bringing technology to India’s rural farming areas and factories have dramatically increased the country’s gross domestic product.

We are experiencing the 5th Industrial Revolution (5IR) in the West with expanded accessibility to AI, big data, ML, advanced robotics, and IoT technologies. While adding technology to rural India offers incredible opportunities to rural communities, lifting them from poverty by making farming and factories competitive globally, the West is in a much different situation.

A study done in 2013 by the University of Oxford predicted that 47% of US employees would be at risk of being automated out of their jobs in the next decade. The researchers (Frey & Osborne) site the most likely and least likely jobs to be automated in their extensive report. As we approach the end of their bleak’ end of jobs’ date, it’s unclear how many jobs have been automated; however, their number one pick for most likely to be automated turned out to be true.

If you own a cell phone, you probably have noticed that robots have nearly exclusively taken over telemarketing just in the past couple of years. By 2023, I would be shocked to hear a warm-bodied telemarketer on the other line.

The next nine jobs they identify as likely to be lost due to automation are:


  • Title Examiners, abstractors, and searchers
  • Hand sewers
  • Mathematical technicians
  • Insurance underwriters
  • Watch repairers
  • Cargo and freight agents
  • Tax preparers
  • Photographic process workers and processing machine operators
  • New accounts clerks
