Women are 1.5 times more likely than men to need to change jobs by 2030 thanks to automation by AI in the workforce, according to a study by McKinsey & Co.
The analysis also showed that among low-wage industries, 1.1 million jobs could be entirely swiped from the workforce.Workers across these in-jeopardy jobs are up to 14 times more likely to need to change occupations than their higher-paid counterparts employed in the transportation, construction and healthcare industries.
For employees want to find a new job with a better salary, “most will need additional skills to do so successfully,” the report noted. However, not all white-collar positions will be unscathed by the incoming wave of AI in the workforce. Lawyers are among the high-paid workers who will see “the biggest impact of generative AI” since models “can search through case law, … freeing lawyers to think through how to apply them in new legal arguments.”will also be able to use the tech to edit documents, the form noted, which is usually what lawyers “spend a great deal of time” doing.
McKinsey attributed women’s need to shift jobs to their higher representation in lower-wage industries such as customer service.Civil engineers’ jobs may also be on the chopping block, as generative AI will “accelerate the design process, taking all building codes into account for fewer errors and less rework.”
