The World's Fastest-Growing Jobs in 2021

The World's Fastest-Growing Jobs in 2021: while there are many fascinating and nuanced differences nation to nation, one thing stands out everywhere: Artificial intelligence and robots are no longer on their way. They’ve arrived. In a big way.

AI specialist was the top emerging job in eight countries and was in the top ten in another five. There is not one sector of industry, organization or individual who will be untouched by these dramatic changes. These shifts are impacting everything from basic service jobs to advanced research jobs, with IT being at the heart of this evolution as more companies adopt the technology.

Not every job on the lists was a purely tech-related role; for example, customer success specialists ranked high in several nations as well. It has become clear that skill sets that help improve user experience are in high demand. Whether it’s qualitative research, usability testing, or content design; in an increasingly tech-focused world, skills that enhance the end-user experience continue to complement more tech-orientated roles.
