Study: All jobs are tech jobs

Technology jobs will contribute to significant job growth in the coming years across the U.S., and recent research from online learning provider Pearson finds that high-tech skills will infiltrate many professions in the future.

Pearson recently released its Skills Map—United States, a report that examines trends in job growth and skills demand to uncover how technology is changing existing roles and creating new opportunities. The current employment landscape and near-future outlook are altering the definition of a tech job. And three factors are also driving change across the U.S. job market, Pearson says, pointing to automation, AI, and an aging population.

“The key message is that technology is transforming jobs at a faster pace than ever before. Every job, from nursing to manufacturing, is becoming more tech-focused, increasing the demand for workers who can blend technical expertise with industry-specific skills,” said Dave Treat, chief technology officer at Pearson, in a statement. “As technology evolves, it’s opening new opportunities across all sectors, helping businesses tackle real-world challenges more effectively.”
