When it comes to the hottest jobs in 2025, AI dominates. But don’t discount the human touch altogether. Overall, the job market appears to be stable heading into 2025, with a stronger-than-expected jobs report this past month and drop in the unemployment rate.
“Weekly jobless claims filed before the holidays pointed to fewer layoffs during this period, suggesting a healthy labour market,” said Sandra Moran, Chief Customer Experience Officer at ADP-owned workforce management services provider WorkForce Software. “This, as consumer spending reached new heights as holiday shoppers returned to in-person retail experiences,” she emphasized.
In LinkedIn’s annual report Jobs on the Rise, spotlighting the roles most in demand this year, AI-centric jobs command the spotlight, with AI engineer and AI consultant nabbing the top spots. This, as opportunities in industries like travel, event planning and construction are also enjoying momentum.
