even screen obsessed millennials will want to talk to a person about their retirement, wills, trusts, etc.

The algorithm in that site is based on one of the dumbest, shittiest studies I've ever seen. The clowns who put it together basically just made it all up based on their own opinion. But every journalist cites it because like Oxford and shite.

Could you link the study?

I am curious from a professional standpoint.

Apropos of my prior comment, part of my work entails identifying strategic opportunities for automation (via AI, machine learning, and implementation) and derivative M&A and figuring out the path forward for companies thereafter.

Take that for example. Anyone who knows anything about the public accounting industry realizes how difficult it would be to automate something like that, especially given the regulatory and compliance issues and relationship oriented aspect of the work.

The study is the height of arrogance really.

I wonder if it's more automation/outsourcing.

Public accounting is relying more and more on overseas JITs, but you're right - relationships, reputation, and knowledge of compliance matter a lot in that industry.

Interesting. Thank you.

I read the abstract, intro, and conclusion, so I didn't get into the meat, but a couple of observations:

- They are dead on about the professional polarization. Had they extrapolated that out to political economics, they would've predicted the rise of Trump and the European equivalents well before it actually happened

- They clearly failed to account for the amount of regulatory capture that is going to keep a lot of labor around for at least a generation (think healthcare and, to the prior point, public accounting to a degree)

- They didn't incorporate behavioral economics at all, and I think that's, by far, the biggest flaw; human beings have a natural bent towards human service in a lot of industries for a variety of reasons (think servers at a decent restaurant or anything in which a premium is placed on quality human interaction), and you can thank behavioral economics for that; I think automation of those tasks is a long way off; customer service has served as an early warning of how dangerous it can be if you automate everything in these arenas

- They're definitely infused with a more European view of labor protection, job growth, innovation, and the like
