Which Jobs Survive AI by 2030? Saadia Zahidi (WEF) Reveals What the Data Actually Shows
Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director at the World Economic Forum, joins Silicon Valley Girl live from Davos to break down the WEF Future of Jobs Report — and what it actually means for your career.
The data: 78 million new jobs are coming by 2030. But 23% of all roles will go through major disruption. And roughly 1 in 10 workers won't find a place inside their own industry.
We cover:
Why AI isn't the real reason entry-level jobs are disappearing — and what actually is
The "catch-22" problem young job seekers are stuck in right now
Which jobs are growing (agriculture, education) and which are declining fast
Why human skills — creativity, empathy, leadership — are more valuable than ever in an AI world
The "learn to earn" framework WEF launched at Davos to fix broken hiring
What no-regret career moves look like in 2025–2030, no matter which scenario plays out
If you're figuring out your next move — whether you're a student, mid-career, or building a team — this episode gives you the clearest data-backed picture of what's coming.
