Marketplace continues its "Robot-Proof Job" series today with a look at one profession that can't easily be replaced by machines: occupational therapist, a job built on relating to people and solving creative problems. In this episode, David Brancaccio visits Illinois to chat with an occupational therapist about the skills that her line of work requires. Afterwards, on the heels of JPMorgan Chase's earnings report release, we'll look at why bank lending growth has stalled.
In this Dec. 16, 2013, photo, Erin Cunningham watches her 11-year-old son Jackson, as he uses an Armeo spring pediatric occupational therapy devise to build strength and mobility in his left hand and arm at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Jackson suffered a stroke in 2011 that paralyzed much of the left side of his body.
