00:00Why are jobs dying?

00:03Some professions are disappearing forever.

00:06Mostly because of digitalization and automation.

00:09Machines fed by algorithms are taking over tasks humans once did.

00:14Like insurance agents, bank employees, postal workers, or travel agents.

00:27What's driving this trend?

00:30Online shopping is replacing in-store sales.

00:33Customers are booking and buying directly themselves.

00:37Digital tools are cutting out the middleman.
