In other words, 11% of reporter jobs will be automated in the coming years.  Cashiers face a bleaker future, with a 97% chance of being replaced. Roughly 6 million to 7.5 million retail jobs "likely will be automated out of existence in the coming years," according to a recent report from investment advisory firm Cornerstone Capital Group. The website, developed by Mubashar Iqbal and designed by Dimitar Raykov, draws data from a frequently cited 2013 report from Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne, Geek.com reported.
