Robot will steal your jobs

Is it still too early for middle school students to think about jobs？ Anyway，they are just 13-14 years old and it seems that entering a good high school is their priority.But here is a Chinese saying:He who gives no thought to the fu -ture is sure to be beset by worries at hand.

Once you graduate from college,you will find you are in a fierce job market.You will compete with not only young human talents but also robots.

A new report has found that up to 800 million global workers will lose their jobs by 2030 and be replaced by robotic automation.

The study of 46 countries and 800 occupations by the McKinsey Global Institute found that up to one-fifth of the global work force will be affected.

It said one-third of the workforce in richer nations like Germany and the US may need to retrain for other jobs.

Machine operators and food workers will be hit hardest,the report says.

The authors see tasks carried out by mortgage brokers,paralegals,accountants,and some back-office staff as especially vulnerable to automation.

Jobs requiring human interaction such as doctors,lawyers,teachers and bartenders are seen by McKinsey as less prone to automation.

Specialized lower-wage jobs,such as gardening,plumbing and care work,will also be less affected by automation,the study predicted.

对于中学生而言，现在考虑工作的事情是不是太早？毕竟他们只有十三四岁，目前的首要任务是进入一所好的高中。但是别忘了中国的一句老话：人无远虑，必有近忧。

一旦从大学毕业，进入竞争激烈的求职市场，你面对的不只是年轻才俊的竞争，还包括来自机器人的挑战。

一个新的报告认为，到了2030年，全球将有8亿工人因为机器人自动化而失去工作。

麦肯锡全球研究所对46个国家和800个职业进行了研究并发现全球大约有五分之一的劳动人员受到影响。

该研究称，在一些富裕国家，比如德国和美国，将有三分之一的劳动人员不得不接受再培训重新就业。

在所有的职业中，机器操作工和食品加工人员受到的冲击最大。

而抵押经纪人、律师助理、会计师和一些办公室后勤人员的工作也特别容易受到自动化的影响。

人际互动性强的工作，比如医生、律师、老师和调酒师等受到的影响不大。

有些工资不高但专业性强的职业也不会受到太大影响，比如园艺、管道安装与维修及护理工作。
