What will the global workforce look like after the pandemic? New research by McKinsey & Company provides some insight, based on a survey of 800 executives from around the world. It found that 85% of companies accelerated digitization and 67% accelerated automation and artificial intelligence during the pandemic, with faster expansions in firms that had a greater shift to remote work, especially the financial services and tech sectors. McKinsey’s survey suggests the mix of jobs available post-pandemic will be different, predicting increased demand for contractors, gig workers and hygiene, cybersecurity and data analytics jobs.
