Automation will likely impact many low-skill jobs in the future, including retail, transportation and food preparation.

Many jobs, including those in life sciences and management, face a low risk of automation.

There will be 927 information technology job openings annually over the next decade in Greater Birmingham.

We will have more than six times as many information technology jobs requiring BA level degrees than graduates. Educators, employers and students can make strategic decisions to align with this opportunity.
