“A bomb will fall on traditional medium-sized businesses’: These professions are falling victim to automation. According to an OECD survey, 71 percent of manufacturing companies are already training their employees.
In Germany, the proportion of jobs with the highest risk of automation corresponds to 28.7 percent of employment. Around seven million more workers will be lost by 2030 due to retiring baby boomer generation. Automation can therefore be an opportunity for companies and German prosperity, says digital transformation expert Thomas Rohrbach.
