The World Economic Forum's (WEF) Future of Jobs Report 2023 https://www.weforum.org/reports/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023/ has highlighted significant shifts in the global job market due to AI and automation. As job roles evolve, the demand for certain skills is skyrocketing. Employers are increasingly looking for a blend of technical and soft skills to navigate the new landscape. For instance, while some jobs might be at risk, new opportunities are emerging, particularly in areas requiring human-centric skills and advanced technological understanding. This report underscores the importance of continuous learning and adaptation for the workforce to remain competitive. Those looking to understand the broader impact of AI might also be interested in how AI is recalibrating the value of data and the ongoing discussion around what every worker needs to answer: What is Your Non-Machine Premium?. This shift also raises questions about whether AI Agents Will Steal Your Job Or Help You Do It Better?.

This article is quite illuminating, thank you. The idea of cashiers and postal workers being obsolete by 2030 is certainly food for thought. I wonder, though, about the social implications in Japan, where many elderly people rely on these roles for community interaction, especially in more rural areas. It’s not just about job losses, is it? There's a human element. What about the quality of life aspect when those familiar faces disappear? Seems like a whole new set of challenges beyond just economic ones, don't you think?
Blimey, this WEF report is a bit of a shocker, isn't it? I’m wondering, beyond these disappearing jobs, what concrete plans are there to reskill our workforce, especially for those of us in developing nations like the Philippines?
