New Job Market Trends The job market is changing rapidly due to technology, demographics, and global economic shifts. There are several factors that are shaping the future of jobs.1. Blank 1 Вопрос 3The rise of automation Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have a big influence on the job market. A report by the World Economic Forum says that by 2025, 5.1 million people will become unemployed, but 12 million new jobs will be created in AI, data analysis, and software development. A recent study by the McKinsey Global Institute suggests that by 2030, 14% of the global workforce, or 375 million employees, may need to change jobs due to automation. This means that employees will need to learn new skills to remain competitive.2. Blank 2 Вопрос 3The need for constant learning Lifelong learning is the idea that learning should continue throughout a person's life because people may need to change careers multiple times. This means that they will have to be adaptable and willing to update their skills. In Russia, for example, Skillbox, Netology, Geekbrains have a role to play in ensuring that jobseekers have access to the training and learning they need.3. Blank 3 Вопрос 3The growth of the gig economy More people are now seeking temporary or freelance positions rather than working for an employer. In the United States, 36% of workers are part of the gig economy. China has seen a growth in gig economy activity, too, particularly through digital platforms such as Didi Chuxing and Meituan. By using their smartphones, individuals can easily make money in industries, including ride-sharing, food delivery, e-commerce, online tutoring, and more.4. Blank 4 Вопрос 3Social Media Recruitment Remote work has also grown significantly due to the digital revolution. A study shows that remote work in the US has increased by 91% in the last ten years, with 4.7 million Americans now working remotely at least half the time. Many German employers have adopted remote work policies to accommodate their employees' needs. Spanish companies like Telefónica and Banco Santander have embraced telecommuting policies, creating greater work-life balance for their employees.5. Blank 5 Вопрос 3Working from home However, not all jobs are at risk of automation. Occupations that require creativity, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking, such as healthcare, education, and arts, are likely to remain safe. For example, healthcare occupations are expected to grow by 15% between 2019 and 2029 due to an aging population.6. Blank 6 Вопрос 3Traditional jobs Another trend in the job market is looking for candidates through social media platforms. According to LinkedIn, eight people are hired every minute through its network. 73% of US jobseekers aged between 18-34 found their last job successfully and did so via social media channels. In today’s rapidly changing job market, it is important for job seekers and employers to understand the new trends and adapt to these changes to be better positioned for success.
