This chart spells out in black and white just how many jobs will be lost to robots

When robots come for our jobs, the first people to fall will be those working in retail and fast food restaurants as well as the ubiquitous secretaries who are an indispensable part of the corporate world. It may not happen overnight but slowly, machines are gaining on man's turf and in a decade or two, about 50% of jobs in existence today will have gone the way of dinosaurs, or in this case, automation, according to Henrik Lindberg, chief technology officer at Swedish fintech company Zimpler. Using data from a comprehensive employment report from University of Oxford, Lindberg drew up a monochrome chart, reproduced by Visual Capitalist, that illustrates a society that is increasingly relying on robots. "As computers get better at, for example, perception--think self-driving car--those services jobs are likely next up to be replaced by machines," said Jeff Desjardins, an editor of Visual Capitalist. In the chart above, the black field shows jobs that will disappear with automation while the white represents those that are projected to survive.
