However, the fall disguised wide disparities as firms increasingly adopt AI to cut costs and boost productivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Software developers, whose profession has been transformed by AI and suffered dramatic job losses since 2022, are back in demand with postings rising 14%. Much of the increase came from senior roles and those directly linked to AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, occupations such as IT and engineering, where AI enhances the value of experience by taking over routine tasks, are among the few that have held up since last summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere, from retail and manufacturing to white-collar roles that are more vulnerable to substitution like accounting or marketing, vacancies have fallen by double digits as employers take action to cope with higher employment costs and a more volatile economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe UK labor market is increasingly splitting into two speeds,\u201d said Jack Kennedy, senior economist at Indeed. \u201cDemand is concentrating around experienced workers and roles directly connected to AI, rather than flowing evenly through the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more:\u00a0For Software Engineers, the AI Reckoning Has Already Arrived<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nature of the jobs being created \u2014 leaning toward senior staff with specific technological skills \u2014 also means that they will be out of reach for many of those looking to move jobs, re-enter the labor market or land their first role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That casts doubt on Prime Minister Andy Burnham\u2019s plans to encourage more young people to pursue technical qualifications as a way to future-proof their careers. In a social media video, Burnham argued that AI may be able to write an essay, but it can\u2019t make a train.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, hiring has slowed steeply for blue-collar occupations. Manufacturing postings are down 58% since June 2022, and 18% below where they were last summer. Installation and maintenance, loading and stocking and construction jobs, have also failed to recover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Youth unemployment in Britain is at its highest in over a decade, a problem Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey blames on a \u201clow hire, low fire\u201d economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor jobseekers, particularly those at the start of their careers, the bar is therefore rising as the stronger areas of the market increasingly require either specialist AI capability or substantial experience,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#creating #twospeed #jobs #market<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK employers are creating jobs&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1453,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2889,537,33,1718,2890],"class_list":["post-1452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance-news","tag-creating","tag-jobs","tag-market","tag-the-future-of-work","tag-twospeed"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
