Amazing insights from the Pearson Skills Map of the U.S. reveal the imminent changes ahead for our workforce and jobs due to technology and demographics. Here are four key findings to consider: 1. Tech expertise is in high demand across all industries, reshaping the definition of a tech job as businesses integrate advanced technologies. All jobs will soon have a tech component. 2. The workforce is evolving due to Automation, AI, and an Aging population, bringing both disruption and new opportunities for different jobs and emerging skills. 3. By 2028, the U.S. labor market is expected to gain 1.9 million more jobs, despite the impact of automation and tech augmentation on 11.2 million jobs. 4. Healthcare jobs, driven by the needs of an aging population, are set to increase by 782,810 by 2028, adding to the sector's already substantial job growth. As automation and AI reshape the job landscape, human skills like empathy, creativity, and emotional intelligence will remain crucial. As a side note, #GED students will find increased opportunities as many of these new jobs will not require a 4-year degree. This insightful report is particularly relevant for individuals in #California, #Florida, #Texas, #NewYork, and #Michigan. #SkillsMap #FutureOfWork #Demographics #Technology #Jobs #WorkforceTransformation #Faethm by Pearson
