Occupations with higher hourly wages face a substantially lower likelihood of being automated. We need to help students develop strong skills through a robust training and education agenda to ensure that they benefit from changes in technology, and are able to stay employed as the workers of the future.

Jobs with wages of less than $20/hour have an 83% chance of becoming automated.
Jobs with wages from $20/hour to $40/hour have a 31% chance of becoming automated.
Jobs with wages over $40/hour have a 4% chance of becoming automated.
