Surveying over 1,000 employers across 22 industries and 55 economies, it finds 39% of core skills will change by 2030, with AI and big data, networks/cybersecurity, and technological literacy the fastest-rising technical skills, alongside creative thinking, resilience, and lifelong learning as top human-centric skills. Net employment increase projected at 78 million jobs (170 million created, 92 million displaced) by 2030.

2. McKinsey Global Institute — Agents, Robots, and Us: Skill Partnerships in the Age of AI (Nov 2025)

Finds currently demonstrated technologies could theoretically automate about 57% of US work hours today, and demand for “AI fluency” in job postings has grown sevenfold in two years — from roughly 1 million to 7 million affected workers between 2023 and 2025. Framed explicitly as automation potential, not a forecast of job losses.
