At the same time, the push toward electrification — driven by AI, electric vehicles, and data centers — is powering a surge in renewable energy jobs. Solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal energy industries top the list of fastest-growing sectors, projected to add over 41,000 jobs, while battery and electrical component manufacturing will add nearly 48,400 positions, according to BLS data.
However, automation and AI are also expected to lead to significant job declines in office, sales, and production roles. Overall AI and mathematical occupations, led by data scientists and cybersecurity analysts, are forecast to grow over 10%, more than triple the national average, the BLS’s report showed.
Yet, only 10% of CIOs and senior tech leaders say AI is fully integrated across their organization, leaving a lot of room for adoption growth, according to a study by staffing firm ManpowerGroup.
