Talk about robots replacing certain jobs has been floating around for some time now but have you ever wondered what it means for you specifically?

Well, thanks to NPR, you can now find out.

The media organisation has produced a calculator based on research by Carl Frey and Michael Osborne from Oxford University, that explores how susceptible certain jobs are to computerisation.

So, what does a recruiter score? We’re not sure, it seems that option has not been built into the calculator, or into the research.

Those recruiting telemarketers though should maybe think about expanding into other areas — according to the research, that job is most likely to be replaced by technology.

Recreational therapists are the least likely to be replaced.

Journalists? Well, we’re in the middle of the pile with an 11% probability rating that we will be replaced. Once step above air traffic controllers.
