Mining The new approach to mining and energy generation could create 87 million jobs in 10 years. Almost 80% of jobs in Australian mining will be enhanced or redesigned due to technology within the next five years. Coal consumption in the U.S. has dropped almost 42% since 2005; coal mining jobs will likely disappear in the next decade. The adoption of digital and automation technologies in the mining, oil and gas sectors has the potential to add $74 billion to the Australian economy and create 80,000 new jobs by 2030. With the unemployment rate in South Africa edging up to 29.1 percent in Q3 2019, its highest level since comparable data began in Q1 2008, key jobs sectors including mining and the industrial sector are expected to continue shedding jobs at unprecedented rates in 2020. In Poland, coal mining is a major employer, representing 5% jobs, while in other countries coal accounts for less than 1% of jobs and largely concerns employees that will be close to retirement by 2030. The overall net jobs benefit in India comes with sectoral differences: All the sectors in the economy, except the mining industry, will see more employment by 2030. A new paper released by Citi and the University of Oxford makes a startling prediction that 80% of retail jobs will disappear entirely and (similarly to mining and agriculture) will not be replaced. 100,000 to 300,000 mining-related jobs could be lost as $14 billion to $29 billion worth of coal is left useless in the ground because bureaucrats decided it must not be mined. Unions say the plan could put up to 100,000 jobs at risk and lead to the decline of the mining and power generation industries in Germany. Digital automation technologies continue to present a tremendous opportunity for Australia's mining and resources sectors with the potential to add $74 billion to the economy and create over 80,000 new jobs by 2030. Harnessing new technologies in the mining, oil and gas industries will add $74 billion to the Australian economy by 2030 and create more than 80,000 new local jobs. As demand for skills changes, high-wage jobs in the US are expected to expand and the loss of middle wage jobs evident over the last 20 years is expected to continue. In 2019 alone, WIFIA could support the creation of up to 180,000 jobs and improve water quality for millions of Americans. In the US alone, with an overall investment of US$4.7 billion, the private sector could reskill 25% of all workers in disrupted jobs with a positive cost-benefit balance. The US private sector could reskill 25 percent of all workers in disrupted jobs at a cost of US$4.7 billion with a positive cost-benefit balance. Pittsburgh could reduce its carbon emissions almost 75% by 2030, improving air quality and creating 110,000 new jobs. US low-growth and rural areas as a group account for 20 percent of jobs today but could drive as little as 3 percent of job growth through 2030. Without a battery industry, the jobs of 114,000 workers making the UK's combustion engines could disappear by 2040.
