Indeed, old skills are disappearing\u2014and new skills are emerging\u2014in job ads at a 25 per cent higher rate than in occupations less exposed to AI.<\/p>\n<p>As numerous questions loom around the technology\u2019s impact on everything from job security to long-term business viability, the findings provide some positive news, particularly for workers in sectors most exposed to AI.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, AI-enabled workers are not only more productive but also more valuable, which opens the door to rising prosperity for workers and nations alike. In line with previous technological revolutions\u2014from electricity to computers\u2014AI is fundamentally altering what it takes for workers to succeed. Consequently, those who adapt may enjoy vast new opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to the topic of productivity growth, the findings paint a decidedly positive picture of AI\u2019s impact on labour markets and productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Sectors most exposed to AI, such as financial services, information technology, and professional services, are experiencing nearly fivefold higher labour productivity growth compared to sectors less exposed to AI.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, regarding wage premiums, across the five major labour markets for which wage data is available (US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Singapore), jobs that require AI specialist skills carry a significant wage premium\u2014up to 25 per cent on average in the US. This underlines the value of these skills to companies.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in the US, this premium can range from 18 per cent for accountants and 33 per cent for financial analysts to 43 per cent for sales and marketing managers and even 49 per cent for lawyers. While the wage premium differs by market, it is overwhelmingly higher in all markets analysed.<\/p>\n<p>Concluding the discussion, there is no going back to yesterday\u2019s job markets. Companies, workers, and policymakers share responsibility for helping workers build the skills to succeed in a fast-changing job market. Skills demanded by employers in occupations more exposed to AI are changing at a 25 per cent higher rate than in less exposed occupations. <\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>PwC\u2019s 27th Annual Global CEO Survey 2024<\/strong>, 69 per cent of CEOs expect AI will require new skills from their workforce, rising to 87 per cent of CEOs who have already deployed AI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI is leading to increased productivity in sectors heavily exposed to it, with AI jobs experiencing notable growth.
