A new employment survey reveals strong hiring demand for IT and digital roles, countering fears of AI replacing tech jobs.<\/p>\n

RTE<\/a> has reported on the latest ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey which\u00a0shows that IT sector hiring demand has climbed by 20% compared to the previous quarter.<\/p>\n

Rather than reduce headcount due to automation, employers report prioritizing human skills like communication and collaboration when hiring.<\/p>\n

Over half of tech companies view AI as having a positive impact on job opportunities versus a negative one.<\/p>\n

The findings contradict recent tech sector layoffs and concerns of AI displacing roles. Companies still struggle to find qualified candidates to fill open tech positions.<\/p>\n

As digital transformation accelerates across industries, demand for skilled tech workers continues rising. Employers aim to complement AI tools with uniquely human strengths.<\/p>\n

So for job seekers with both technical abilities and soft skills like teamwork and empathy, opportunities abound despite the ominous rhetoric around AI.<\/p>\n

Though automation will inevitably impact some tech occupations, this data signals that displaced workers with a willingness to learn new skills can still thrive in evolving digital domains.<\/p>\n
