If you live and work in Las Vegas, there is a one in three chance you will lose your job to automation. If you are replaced, it will be by a robot or machine.
Kemper Industries examines job types in the 50 states and 50 largest cities. Nationwide, the risk of losing a job to automation faces 28% of the workforce, or 41 million jobs. Low-paying jobs are at greatest risk. These include people who work in the fast-food and retail sectors. The list also includes people who labor as cashiers.
The total number of jobs that could be lost to automation in Las Vegas is 33.1%. Presumably, the gaming industry is particularly vulnerable. Next on the list is Orlando at 30.9%. Many of the world’s largest theme parks are there, which might be a contributing factor. Miami ties Orlando at the same percentage. Tampa is next at 30.7%.
Government and tech jobs appear to be among those least likely to be replaced by robots. Washington is second to the last on the list at 22.3%. San Jose is at the very bottom at 21.0%.
Kemper built its model using the University of Oxford’s “The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerisation” study. The research included 702 job types. Kemper, for some reason, only picked the 170 most at-risk jobs. To get job data by geographic area, they used U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
