Jobs Replaced by AI Every Year: Data from 2021 to 2050

This dataset tracks the estimated annual number of jobs eliminated globally by artificial intelligence and robotics, from 2021 to 2050 across major occupations. The projections capture the transition from generative AI automating cognitive tasks to advanced robotics replacing physical labor. The figures represent modeled annual job displacement rather than net employment losses. Historical estimates and future scenarios are distinguished from directly observed employment data, with projections reflecting technological capabilities, adoption rates and occupation-specific exposure to automation. Data sources: The estimates are based on research from Goldman Sachs, the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs reports and the OpenAI / University of Pennsylvania study on occupational exposure to large language models. Longer-term projections through 2050 incorporate automation forecasts from the McKinsey Global Institute. ***** Hi, I'm Sasha. I crunch numbers, play with data, and create cool visuals.
