The second issue of the World Economic Forum’s “Future of Jobs” report predicts the loss of 75 million jobs by 2025. But it also predicts the creation of 133 million jobs thanks to the digital revolution. A positive balance of 58 million jobs; pretty optimistic, right?
Yes, at the condition of learning and training on tomorrow’s skills in the meantime. Amongst most sought-after jobs, we’ll obviously find numerous jobs related to new technologies and digital applications such as machine learning, AI, big data: data scientists, developers, growth hackers… Other in-demand profiles will be more “classical”, such as sales representatives, marketing directors or learning officers… But uncertainty still lays in the future.
