These six-figure, 'new collar' jobs are most resistant to AI

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

High-paying jobs poised to survive potential replacement by artificial-intelligence tools have one thing in common: a human to make decisions.

These so-called "new-collar" jobs, as described in a Resume Genius study, pay well and are resistant to AI. Using a framework that scores jobs and skills on their resistance to AI, the study found the top jobs all shared as traits in-person trust, physical presence or the chance to be the one directing AI tools — not being replaced by them.

The jobs also had to have a median annual salary of at least $100,000, a positive projected growth rate over the next decade by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, minimal physical labor, and remote or hybrid work availability.
