PODCAST: 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer | AI is Creating Jobs Contrary to Myth that AI is Taking Jobs

THere is a summary of the key findings from the 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer according to the sources: • The report is based on an analysis of close to a billion job ads from six continents to understand AI's global impact on jobs, skills, wages, and productivity. • A central finding is that AI can make people more valuable, even in jobs considered highly automatable. • Industries that are more exposed to AI are experiencing 3x higher growth in revenue per worker. This growth has accelerated significantly since 2022, following the launch of ChatGPT 3.5. • All industries (100%) are increasing their use of AI, including sectors not traditionally associated with AI, such as mining and agriculture. • The rate of skill change in AI-exposed jobs is 66% faster than for other jobs, a substantial increase from 25% last year. This acceleration is particularly pronounced in automatable jobs. • There is a significant wage premium for workers with AI skills. On average, workers with AI skills command a 56% higher wage compared to those in the same job without these skills, up from 25% last year. This wage premium is observed across every industry analysed. • Wages are also rising twice as fast in the most AI-exposed industries compared to those least exposed. This suggests that AI adoption is increasing the value of workers in these sectors. • The analysis distinguishes between augmentable jobs (where AI enhances human judgment) and automatable jobs (where AI can complete tasks autonomously). The findings indicate that concerns about AI devaluing automatable roles in aggregate may be unfounded, as wages are rising for AI-powered workers even in these roles. • The source mentions specific sector-level insights available for industries including Energy, Utilities and Resources, Financial Services, Government, Public Services and Defence, Healthcare, Information, Communication and Technology (ICT), Professional Services, and Wholesale and Retail Trade.
