Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the global job market. Research indicates that by 2030, up to 300 million jobs, nearly 1 in 10 worldwide, could be displaced by AI technologies [Engineering and Technology](https://www.eandtmagazine.org/2023/03/29/ai-could-affect-around-300-million-jobs-study-finds)

In the United States, nearly half of all jobs face some degree of automation risk, particularly in manufacturing, data entry, and other routine-based sectors [mckinsey global institute](https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/future-of-work). Younger workers, women in administrative roles, and individuals without college degrees are especially vulnerable [Brookings Institute](https://www.brookings.edu/articles/automation-and-artificial-intelligence-how-machines-affect-people-and-places/). Part-time and remote workers may also be at higher risk of displacement [WEF Future of Jobs Report 2023](https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023/)

However, the AI revolution is not solely about job loss. It's projected to create approximately 69 million new jobs in fields like green technology, digital innovation, and AI development [World Economic Forum](https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023/). Additionally, many existing roles will evolve, AI will automate repetitive tasks, allowing workers to focus on strategic, creative, and interpersonal responsibilities [PwC Workforce of the Future Report](https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/services/people-organisation/workforce-of-the-future/workforce-of-the-future-the-competing-forces-shaping-2030-pwc.pdf)

While many companies foresee workforce reductions over the next decade, a majority of business leaders also expect AI to transform their industries significantly [World Economic Forum](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/04/linkedin-strategic-upskilling-ai-workplace-changes/)
