Insights From 800+ Companies About the Future of Jobs


Cover of the World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report 2023

The latest 2023 Future of Jobs report from the World Economic Forum is now released, and the top level findings (two pages) from the report are worth a quick read. One highlight was the fact that automation of tasks is happening at a slower pace than originally anticipated back in 2020, which could indicate that removing humans entirely from various tasks may be more complex than many companies thought.

In addition, the report shares that despite the increase in AI for various tasks, twice as many organizations are "expecting it to create job growth" versus job losses. Also, the "fastest declining roles are clerical or secretarial roles, with Bank Tellers and Related Clerks, Postal Service Clerks, Cashiers and Ticket Clerks, and Data Entry Clerks." Meanwhile "large-scale job growth is expected in education, agriculture and digital commerce and trade."
