According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, which surveyed more than 1,000 employers representing 14 million workers across 55 economies, by 2030, AI will create 170 million new roles while displacing 92 million jobs—a net gain of 78 million positions. But that net positive obscures considerable churn: 22% of all jobs will be disrupted in the next five years.
