A rise in automation and artificial intelligence could affect women more than men, with females having a 1.5x higher chance of needing a new occupation by 2030, according to McKinsey & Co. The research suggests low-wage roles in areas such as office support, customer service, as well as roles in food and production are most at risk. This will also disproportionately affect Black and Hispanic workers.

At least 12 million US workers will likely need to change jobs by 2030, with those in lower-wage positions 14x more likely to be affected.
