The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 highlights the significant impact of AI on the global job market. According to the report, AI is projected to create 170 million new jobs while eliminating 92 million, resulting in a net gain of 78 million jobs by 2030. The report emphasizes the need for businesses to adapt, with half planning to re-orient their operations in response to AI and two-thirds intending to hire talent with specific AI skills. AI and big data expertise, networks and cybersecurity, and technological literacy are expected to be the most in-demand skills. However, some job categories, such as postal service clerks and executive secretaries, are anticipated to decline, partly due to AI advancements. The report stresses the urgency of upskilling workforces to prepare for these changes.
