Australians facing massive job losses due to computerization

The Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) report predicted almost 40 percent of existing jobs will disappear because of technological advancements.(…)
The report said there is a high probability that occupations such as accountants, estate agents and economists will not exist or will be significantly degraded by the 2030s. It said information and telecommunication advances will probably affect jobs from telemarketers to insurance underwriters to radiologists, while in other professions computers will make individuals far more productive than they are now and significantly reduce the demand for these types of workers.
