This Note analyzes how Generative AI (GAI) will impact jobs, using a skills-based approach to categorize occupations as augmented by GAI, disrupted by automation, or minimally affected. While GAI is expected to enhance some jobs, a troubling gender gap emerges: women are more likely to hold jobs susceptible to disruption, while men are more likely to benefit from GAI-powered augmentation. This trend suggests GAI could widen the gender gap in the job market.

The Global Green Skills Report 2023 identifies trends at the intersection of the workforce and sustainability based on the activity of more than 930 million LinkedIn users worldwide. This report includes critical questions that policymakers, business leaders, and others might explore as they seek to develop regulations, programs, and policies that foster the development of green skills and create pathways for workers to transition into jobs that help green the planet. This report delves into three sectors: Energy production, Transportation, and Finance.

This report is designed to help both professionals and business leaders understand what’s happening with AI and work. It covers three main areas: the intersection of AI and the world of work, the state of play of Generative AI (GAI) in the workforce, and LinkedIn’s role in helping navigate an AI-driven world.

Using LinkedIn’s Economic Graph, a unique digital representation of the global labor economy spanning over 950 million professionals, this report identifies the skills that stand to be affected and those that will likely complement new generative AI technologies.
