In a much discussed paper, Frey and Osborne (2013) estimate that 47 percent of total U.S. employment is
at high risk of automation over the next one to two decades, suggesting that even highly skilled workers
may eventually lose the “Race Against the Machine”.
In this paper, I show that high-paying, difficult-to-automate jobs increasingly require social skills. Nearly all
job growth since 1980 has been in occupations that are relatively social skill-intensive. Jobs that require
high levels of analytical and mathematical reasoning but low levels of social interaction have fared
especially poorly.
Why are social skills so important in the modern labor market? The reason is that computers are still very
poor at simulating human interaction. Reading the minds of others and reacting is an unconscious
process, and skill in social settings has evolved in humans over thousands of years. Human interaction in
the workplace involves team production, with workers playing off of each other’s strengths and adapting
flexibly to changing circumstances.
I relate the growing importance of social skills to advances in information and communication technology
(ICT) that have shifted the organization of work toward flexible and self-managed team structures, job
rotation and worker multitasking.

Some examples of high-paying occupations (i.e. above the
60th percentile) with high math and low
social skill task intensity include actuaries, mathematicians
and statisticians, engineering and chemical technicians,
and machinists. Some examples of high-paying occupations
with low math and high social skill task
intensity include dentists, air traffic controllers, lawyers,
actors/directors/producers, editors and reporters,
and physical therapists.
