Fundamentally all jobs are on the list. Even in retail. Walmart can direct workers to just simply work in the backroom and put stock on the floor. Any work that involves customer service can now be eliminated. So, as a Walmart worker, if I spend 1 1/2 hours helping customers and the rest stocking, I can now spend 8 hours/day stocking. That ultimately means less Walmart workers.

I can’t think of one job where people don’t communicate. Any time in a job that is spent in communication can now be eliminated and workers can be focused on other tasks. That means less workers, no matter how it is defined.

Stocking can be automated too, and AI will improve their performance greatly.
