Impact of Automation on Work Tasks

The chart illustrates the projected impact of automation on various work tasks from 2018 to 2022. Notably, tasks involving 'Identifying & Evaluating Information' and 'Administering' are expected to see significant increases in automation, with growth rates of 59% and 57% respectively. This trend suggests a shift towards more automated processes in information handling and administrative functions. Interestingly, 'Data Processing' already had a high level of automation in 2018 at 47%, and it is projected to increase to 62% by 2022, indicating a continued reliance on machines for these tasks. On the other hand, tasks like 'Reasoning & Decision-Making' and 'Communicating and Interacting' show relatively lower growth rates of 47% and 35%, respectively, suggesting that these areas may still require significant human involvement. The data highlights a broader trend towards automation in roles traditionally seen as manual or repetitive, such as 'Manual Labor' and 'Complex & Technical Activities', both projected to grow by 42% and 35%. This shift could lead to a reevaluation of workforce roles and the skills required in the future workplace, emphasizing the need for adaptability and continuous learning in an increasingly automated environment.
