Worried about job security in the age of automation? Discover how seeking employers that prioritize professional development can ease your concerns.

A recent study found that many American workers are experiencing increased stress levels, with personal finances being a major cause of concern. The study also found that workers are worried about politics, the economy, and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on job security. Moreover, the Pew Research Center found that job satisfaction among American workers is low, particularly when it comes to opportunities for training, pay, and promotions. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report predicts that 44% of workers’ skills will be disrupted in the next five years, raising concerns about automation of jobs. It is suggested that workers should seek employment opportunities that support continuous professional development, including upskilling in AI.
