These are the jobs at the highest risk from automation: HSBC

Waiters, inspectors, receptionists, and groundskeepers beware. A new HSBC Global Research report found that these types of jobs each has a greater than 90% chance of being displaced due to automation within roughly the next 10 years. Each of these types of work were given an Automation Risk Score of over 90% (out of 100) in the report and were listed among the jobs in today's economy most likely to be lost to robots. 'Mid-skill' jobs which require training but little education have been the most likely to be replaced thus far, the report said. Food preparation, cleaning, driving, were the occupations with the highest mean probability of automation, according to OECD data cited in the report, which was written by Economist James Pomeroy and ESG Analyst Amy Tyler.
