Impact of Technology on Jobs

As AI and technology continue to advance, one in every three workers globally is expected to see significant impacts on their jobs within this decade. This shift in the economic landscape will not only affect traditional roles like bank tellers and factory workers but also executive managers and office workers. The rapid pace of technological change means that companies can't simply hire their way out of this problem due to skill redundancy, leading to a necessary focus on reskilling millions of individuals annually.
