Through at least the next decade, human truck drivers, bus drivers and taxi drivers will remain in strong demand. And during that time, self-driving technology will put little, if any, dent in that demand. In waste collection , for example, transportation and material-moving workers make up 70% of workers. In the past three years, the number of workers added to transportation and material-moving occupations was roughly equal to the number of workers added to all other blue-collar occupations combined. The growing need for transportation workers will also create pressure in industries with high demand for workers without a college degree that are capable of performing physically demanding labor, including manufacturing, agriculture and construction.
