Blessed are those that serve the machine, for the machine provides.
As someone who's had their position offshored twice with two different companies, I'll say at least in the Atlanta area, there is no lack of need for admins.
One thing I can say about living in this metro during this prolonged tech boom, I feel super secure.

89% lol.
Yeah, feels a little high. A lot of the job could be automated, but there is enough that can't.

Even for public defenders? I could absolutely see those getting replaced with LawBot 4000: PleadOut edition.
There's plenty of work to automate for attorneys.
Litigation? Why have overpaid, overprivileged, incompetent first or second years take in $180K to mess up document review? Why would companies agree to pay $600/hour in billing for these dopes to "work" on their cases?
Corporate-side? Replace document review with contract review.

4.2% for software applications developer...
But I do a lot more (framework, web server work, etc.)

The flagship state uni here has a recognized CM program and i always wondered why somebody would major in this without any construction work experience. Is this the case for your area? My only guess is that the programs are geared specifically toward the business aspect instead of the trade.
is the market still over saturated with law graduates and minimal jobs?

Yes, but that doesn't have anything to do with robots.
I assume they consider the actual act of writing and testing code will be automated, but it will still need a human for the design, so the programmer could get automated, but the "developer" not
still, computers learning to code is a strong prediction which I am not sure will happen without full ai, and most that would happen is that programmers would have to learn a new tool to generate code...which is nothing new

The weird thing is they project growth for the position in 2024. So does that mean the robots are over a decade away? How exactly is the % calculated?
Depends on your opinion of law students
Most of the numbers come from BLS, who project growth. A completely separate institution supplied the automation estimate.

94% for paralegals(me) and legal assistants
I wasn't seeing this as a job that I want to do the rest of my life. I've been trying to iron out the details on going back to school to apply to graduate school in the medical field for a long term goal (absolutely no intention to apply to law school)

Growth doesn't tell you the whole story. Fields that fall behind become less employable even if the industry as a whole grows. Think of it this way. You have 3 accountants today and 2 jobs, by 2024 you might have 3 jobs but 6 accountants competing for those jobs.
Also That is in part because automation makes accountants more productive that doesn't mean jobs are eliminated but what it means is that growth slows down. It's the same thing happening in fastfood. No-one is being fired, positions are simply not growing/replaced at the same rate as before!

It's honestly (a minor) part of why I'm going in to nursing. There will be a need for lots of humans in the medical field until robots are basically indistinguishable from people, at which point I'm sure I'll be dead and society will have quite a few other problems going on than just jobs being taken away.

That depends entirely on your industry. If you're a customer facing job, perhaps. B2B, Government, or Military is probably not going anywhere.
