To make their projections, the experts scored jobs across 21 industries on nine possible traits, the four most important being: cleverness, negotiation, helping others, and squeezing into small spaces.
Those in the healthcare industry appear to be in the clear, for the time being that is.
Here are the most secure jobs, according to NPR's algorithm:
