A World Economic Forum report says that while the data science field will be the biggest gainer in new jobs, the lower strata of data sector jobs will get hammered by job losses.
Donal Power filed this report in RT Insights:
The report determined that changes in the global job market will result in 58 million net new jobs. While 75 million jobs around the world will be eliminated due to changes in technology, these losses will be more than made up for by 133 million new jobs that new technology will create.
Of the top ten roles to emerge by 2022 the most notable are: Data Analysts and Scientists (#1); AI and Machine Learning Specialists (#2); Software and Applications Developers and Analysts (#4); and Big Data Specialists (#6).
Meanwhile, among the top ten declining roles are: Data Entry Clerks (#1); Accounting, Bookkeeping and Payroll Clerks (#2); and Assembly and Factory Workers (#4).
