According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (1), the most common jobs in the US are retail sales, cashier, food prep and serving, office clerk, registered nurse, customer service rep, waiter / waitress, laborer, secretary, janitor.

It’s worth reviewing the actual list for yourself to see what these common jobs really are. And thinking about at what point you would rather be dealing with a robot (let’s call them that) than a person.

Truck driving is #15. It gets a lot of attention because it’s a good paying job for a high school education.

Taxi driver is #173. Seems low for all the attention that Uber’s disruption of that industry gets.
