According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which publishes its statistics every May, there were 1,984,180 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers in May 2022, over 1% of the US labor force. The number of truck drivers has been growing steadily since 2020, and the BLS predicts it to grow by 90,000 from 2021 to 2031.
But autonomous vehicles have the potential to disrupt this. Will the number of people employed as truck drivers in May 2028 be at least 200,000 lower than in May 2023?
