This is how many U.S. jobs robots will create over the next 10 years

While much hay has been made about the sizable number of jobs that will be lost to automation, the workplace's robotic revolution will also come with a new wave of hiring. Close to 15 million new jobs will be created in the U.S. over the next decade as a direct result of automation and artificial intelligence, equivalent to 10% of the workforce, according to estimates in a new report from Forrester Research, a market research company. Those gains, however, will not come close to offsetting the 25 million jobs that technology will eliminate by 2027, Forrester predicts. The new jobs will be created "in software, engineering, design, maintenance, support, training, or another specific job area," the report found. A new generation of lawyers will be needed to regulate the interactions between human employees and robot workers, for example. And new human resources employees will be devoted to guiding staff as robots enter the workplace.
