What jobs will we have in the future? A recent report explores that question. In January, the World Economic Forum (WEF) released its 2025 Future of Jobs Report. It includes survey data from more than 1,000 of the world’s largest employers. “The landscape of work continues to evolve at a rapid pace,” writes WEF managing director Saadia Zahidi.
The report shows how work may change between now and 2030. It includes growth areas, such as AI, fintech (finance technology), and cybersecurity. It lists jobs that are on the decline. And it outlines skills that workers increasingly need. Some of the information from the report is shown here. What surprises you?
