Introduction
In the evolution of technology and its impact on jobs, experts had long predicted a particular sequence of job displacement as India progresses. The forecast was clear: blue-collar jobs would be the first to suffer as the nation developed. People engaged in basic mechanical work—laborers, drivers, and others in similar roles—were believed to be the initial victims of the rise of automation and robotics. This narrative has frequently been depicted in science fiction movies, where machines rise to take over mundane jobs.
However, the reality has unfolded quite differently. Contrary to predictions, it seems that white-collar jobs have started to feel the brunt of this technological transformation before blue-collar jobs have taken significant hits. These white-collar roles often required a higher level of skill, such as coding and other office-based tasks, which initially seemed insulated from the threat of automation.
As we continue to analyze the job market, an interesting trend emerges. Creative jobs—including positions held by photographers, designers, and writers—are also facing displacement. These roles, previously thought to be secure due to their reliance on human creativity and intuition, are now being challenged by advanced artificial intelligence systems. Indeed, creativity—which was considered the last bastion against automation—seems to be falling victim much sooner than anticipated.
In summary, rather than seeing blue-collar jobs fade away first, we are witnessing a disturbing trend where white-collar and creative positions are rapidly being replaced. The anticipated order of job displacement appears to be reversing, raising critical questions about the future of work across all sectors.
