Receptionists And Information Clerks: A help desk technician has an important role to play in an organization from troubleshooting problems or providing guidance about products such as computers, electronic equipment, food, apparel, or software. But, no more.  The demand for these technicians has just faded off and there is less work for these workers as most of the companies are outsourcing them to other companies. This profession is set to take further beating as the Oxford study rates it the 2nd next job profession to be replaced by robots with 96 percent probability.



Paralegals And Legal Assistants: Paralegals and legal assistants do a variety of tasks. That includes assisting lawyers, maintaining and organizing files, conducting legal research, and drafting documents. Paralegals and legal assistants are found in all types of organizations, but most work for law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies. According to the Oxford study, it identified more than 700 occupations at risk of computer automation and paralegals are one of them and 3rd on the list to lose out jobs to robots with 94 percent probability.
