New employee survey data reveals what we already knew

PayScale, a data company that helps employers manage employee compensation and employees understand their worth in the job market,  has released a list of the fastest-growing job titles.  The job family categories, which include business & finance, construction & manufacturing, physical & life sciences, and computer & mathematical, were determined by the company’s crowdsourced dataset. What do they have in common?

All of the top traditional blue-collar, pink-collar, and green-collar jobs in the rankings require training in computers, as well as science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.

Economic Trends: Reflections on 2019, Predictions for 2020

Last year, PayScale said six out of the top 10 fastest-growing jobs in its employee survey data were in the technology industry. But a 2018 S&P report advised that every company is now a technology company.

“As machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics become commonplace and enter the operations of mainstream organizations, leadership teams are finding that failure to harness and leverage AI puts them behind the competition. Repeatable tasks are carried out by bots in a fraction of the time and employees are more focused on adding value, which means companies on the forefront of technology can be more reliable, more user-friendly, and faster to market,” the report said.
