The work that still needs people
As AI takes over office work, the scarce worker becomes the one who can show up in person.
Everyone asks which jobs AI will take, but the better question is which ones it can't reach.
Europe's worst shortages sit in care and health, not in offices, and Germany alone lists 157 shortage occupations.
An agent can write the report.
Someone still has to wire the data centre, nurse the patient and inspect the bridge.
Those jobs need hands, licences and trust, and they take years to learn.
