Recommendation

In this timely update on the future of work in the United States, researchers from the McKinsey Global Institute examine the trends that have emerged since their 2019 study on automation and US workplaces. They catalog the forces shaping their forecast, including lasting pandemic effects, federal investment and technological advances, particularly AI. In the post-pandemic landscape, the emergence of generative AI tools like ChatGPT raises job loss concerns. The researchers emphasize the likelihood of significant shifts in occupational demand, urging you to prepare for job transitions amid ongoing uncertainty as companies work to build an inclusive, productivity-driven economy.

Take-Aways

  • The pandemic changed the US job market and increased the demand for better, higher-paying jobs.
  • The United States faces a labor shortage, especially in lower-wage occupations.
  • AI will shape the US employment landscape through 2030.
