Entry-level positions (such as dispatch clerks and cargo trackers) have decreased demand because AI systems can automatically optimize routes and monitor in real time; However, on-site operators (such as forklift drivers) are still needed, and the entry threshold is relatively stable.
Shift from execution roles to AI system monitoring and decision support roles, such as logistics data analysts or automation process optimization specialists. At the same time, it develops into management positions requiring human judgment (such as transportation supervisors) or domain experts (such as hazardous materials logistics consultants), strengthening irreplaceable on-site experience and interpersonal skills.
