According to a 2020 World Economic Forum report and 2021 research by McKinsey and Company, owing to the pandemic's acceleration of automation:
* By 2025, 85 million jobs will be lost.
* By 2025, 97 million new jobs will be generated.
* 40% of today's employment will no longer exist in ten years.
* 375 million individuals may need to change jobs and obtain new skills.
We're seeing more change in ten years than we saw in the last one-hundred, and we're swiftly approaching the "singularity".
To cope with rapid change, we need to develop our ability to not only cope with change but thrive with change. This is what developing our adaptability muscles can offer. And the great news is, all of us are adaptable inherently, it's just that some have built their skills and curated their environment to harness this resource more than others.
