Top 10 occupations with the highest risk of unemployment today

Below are the occupations predicted to be most likely to be unemployed in the future, including some occupations that are considered hot today.

Operator

Artificial agents will replace human agents. Many other chatbots are also replacing humans in this industry. The revenue that chatbots bring in by 2027 is expected to reach more than $400 million, which means that "physical" call centers will be gradually 'eliminated'.

Sports referee

Modern technologies will help computer referees make more accurate and reliable decisions than humans in football matches. In fact, instant replay technology, goal-line technology, computer vision technology help monitor the match on the field better than humans.

In addition, whether the referee's decisions are right or wrong, they can face the anger of fans and the players themselves.

Tour guide

Artificial guides with the ability to guide and introduce online have been successfully replacing human guides. Tourists can now move freely, explore while listening to the history of the exhibition through headphones and in their favorite language.

Some brand new virtual reality headsets even allow people to visit almost any destination in the world from the comfort of their own home without having to move.

Accounting and auditing industry

Accounting and Auditing used to be a very hot profession, pursued by many young people. However, this industry currently has a surplus of labor and this situation will continue for the next few years.

Although the recruitment demand rate of this industry group is still quite high, accounting for 30% of the recruitment structure, thousands of graduates are still unemployed. The reason is that a few years ago, schools opened this industry massively, so the supply far exceeded the demand for labor. The competition rate of a candidate when looking for a job in this field in Ho Chi Minh City is 1/90.

Telemarketing Industry

The telemarketing industry is still in high demand for human resources, but the popularity of this industry will decrease in the next few years when the great applications of artificial intelligence are applied. Therefore, the telemarketing industry will become one of the industries with the highest risk of unemployment in the near future.

Receptionist

The reason why receptionists are on the list of industries most likely to be unemployed in the next 10 years is due to the strong development of the 4.0 revolution. Smart robots or AI can take on tasks such as receiving calls and connecting to departments/offices. of the receptionist.

Express delivery staff

Express delivery staff at the post office is also one of the industries that are prone to unemployment today. The reason is that most people now use Email to communicate and share information. In addition, the appearance of Shipper services that deliver goods safely and quickly to the destination also contributes to the gradual 'death' of the express delivery profession at the post office and may be completely eliminated in the near future.

Psychology

Currently, most Vietnamese people are still quite unfamiliar with seeking psychological experts for advice and solving problems such as depression, stress, etc. Therefore, psychology is also on the list of top industries with high unemployment rates today and in the next few years.

Bachelor of Historical Studies

History is a science that studies past events. This is a difficult and challenging field but has great significance. However, this field is one of the most likely to lead to unemployment because it is not yet highly regarded and the recruitment demand is very low. Only strategic research institutes established and managed by the State have the need to recruit human resources in this field.

Banking and finance industry

Currently, many universities and colleges are opening Finance and Banking majors with very large enrollment targets. Supply exceeds demand, causing the rate of Finance and Banking graduates not having jobs in their majors to increase. Therefore, this group of majors is at risk of falling into the most unemployed majors in the coming years.

This article is for reference only, but there is a basis to affirm that it is difficult to find jobs in these fields.
