Wait, we're using a robot to determine if robots will take our jobs? They're already snickering.

@johnbhiggins Just you wait til a messenger bot will tell how likely it that your job will be automated away, that's some scary shit right there!

there's a 1.5% chance "Chief Executives" will become robots

@davidsmooke haha, some might say they are robots already! 🤖

@davidsmooke "-1% expected growth" sounds scarier to me. 🤔

@davidsmooke I rather agree because it requires leadership robot can't have. But I think middle management will be threatened.

@davidsmooke on this one I want to disagree ;p | https://venturebeat.com/2017/04/...

They can't steal your job if you don't have one

Thanks for the hunt @bentossell ! Just a few weeks ago, I joined the freelance.tv (thx @dannpetty) community slack where @dreamture reached out to see if I might be interested on working on a side project. I've been involved in the bot scene for a while (👋 https://www.producthunt.com/post...), so Dimitar's idea to build a website to show how susceptible your job is to automation peeked my interest. He had found the data in an report published in 2013, and we pulled in some additional data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and we had the basis of our website. Dimitar did a great job of designing a clean but interesting interface, and I got to coding. We pulled the data into Algolia to make it easy to find the jobs. I found the numbers interesting, and seeing how far things have come since 2013, I'm curious to see how automation will continue to move into the work place. Hope you like it!

@mubashariqbal @bentossell @dannpetty @dreamture nice use of ONET data guys! We used onet data at my last startup to build a KSA map of all the jobs in the US. I like your use of the data set! Are you catching the data locally and using your own services or are you using ONETs API? Did you consider including the related job titles in the API call? The occupational titles seem too broad, if you add related job titles that brings your jobs up to around 85k different possible "street names" for jobs.

There's only 1.4% chance that my job will be replaced by a robot 😌 but WHAT ABOUT THE 98.6% CHANCE THAT IT'LL BE TAKEN OVER BY ANOTHER HUMAN!!! 😱
Markus Gerke
Great job, thanks for that work.
Markus Gerke
One thing could be better: When I click on "random", I get a page reload and need to go back to the homepage to get a new random job. A global random-button would be nice.

@markusgerke Thanks for the feedback! Yep, you weren't the first to ask for this so we obviously missed that. :)

This perhaps the safest job in the world
Cara Parrish
@souravray Only in the way that "safest" means robots don't take it. The irony being in terms of physical safety it's not highly ranked at all.
Bharath B Lohray
@souravray @dreamture I tried searching for "prostitute" it is missing in the DB. I can think of these creepy being from the AI Movie, what is the probability of that coming to pass?

Producers & directors have a 2.2% chance of becoming robots, phew! Train drivers, however, have an 86% chance... Very useful!

@itisrobertk Thanks Robert!

@wraldpyk DLR in London and Turin Metro are just a few examples. Rural rail networks' drivers aren't yet ready to be replaced.

Software developers, software engineers, and programmers are essentially the same profession yet the results are drastically different. What's your methodology for determining the numbers?

@kay0stheory The data was collected from a report titled "The Future of Employment: How susceptible are jobs to computerisation?”, published by Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne: http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk... We also aggregated additional data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, related to the number of jobs and salary.
Jenny Shen
There's no UX or interaction designers, so I guess robots aren't taken my job 😏
Allan Zhang
I searched for "Fashion Model" and got 98%. Wait what? 💁
Cara Parrish
@daspianist I mean why can't we use robots to model clothes? The robots could move to reflect body measurements or this could simply be about those apps that scan you and then recommend clothing for your body.
Allan Zhang
@carafnparrish I see your point. In the technical context of the word "model", I think a robot-model definitely makes sense. However, in the marketing campaign, Vogue spread context of "model" (which I believe is what "fashion model" was referencing), my personal opinion is that humans are still hard to replace - even down the road.
Cara Parrish
@daspianist I mean with enough aesthetic work will we even be able to tell the difference in a human model and what will basically be a "Real Doll" but in a fashion model version instead of a love doll version in a Vogue spread?

looks awesome! @mubashariqbal how long did it take to ship from the day you started coding it? thnx

Nice idea! P.S. Why I can't check if robots will take prostitute job? :D
Farbod Saraf
There's a 48% chance "Programmers" will be replaced by robots. If we get to that point I guess there won't be any other jobs on earth.
Pietz Prove
Computer Programmer: 48% Application Software Developer: 4.2% oO?

@gopietz Reading the job descriptions (the titles comes from the government classifications) I'd say Software Developer is more of an Architect role.

The awkward moment when you helped create the robot that will take your job and another robot helps confirm it.....

I really love the design, great job here and the data is interesting!

@elamazurkiewicz It is need an awesome design, all props to @dreamture.

Correction! It says there is a %7.4 of Musicians and Singers being taken over by Robots! Did you guys forget 👾Daft Punk👾

could you add a top 10 list somewhere for those of us who are too lazy to check multiple professions - say, a top 10 most prone to automation; or top 10 highest/lowest paying vs. propensity for automation; given you are using algolia, this kind of faceted view will be trivial for you to setup on the backend.
