From data to action: This tool will help you navigate the future of jobs

How are AI and robotics reshaping the skills we need? Where will the green transition create new jobs and where might it displace them?

These questions have become more urgent as technology reshapes industries and global challenges upend traditional career paths. Policy-makers, business leaders and researchers are now all searching for reliable ways to navigate the future of work.

The Future of Jobs Report 2025 Data Explorer can help answer these questions as an interactive tool that turns copious workforce data into clear, actionable insights.

It is built on the latest findings from the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025. It allows users to delve into evolving job markets, shifting skills demands and transformative global trends.

From shaping education systems or planning workforce strategies to analyzing labour market shifts, the tool allows visualization and comparison of how jobs and skills are changing across industries and regions.

The dashboard presents four ways to explore the data, demonstrating the changing landscape of jobs, skills and workforce practices across industries and regions. Here’s a breakdown of how you can utilize each view.

The alluvial view illustrates how macro trends and technology shifts are expected to impact jobs and skills through flowing, connected visualizations.

For instance, if you select “Broadening digital access” as a trend, you might discover it is linked to declining demand for roles such as administrative assistants, cashiers and material-recording clerks. Meanwhile, it increases the demand for software developers and university and higher education teachers.

The density of the connecting flows indicates the strength of the relationship.

The map view provides a powerful visualization of how future of work indicators vary across countries and regions at a glance.

As an example, if you select “Talent outlook – Talent availability when hiring – expected to improve,” you might notice that companies headquartered in the Middle East and Northern Africa are more optimistic about talent availability by 2030 compared to their European counterparts.

Pro-tip: click on any country to see a pop-up with exact values and benchmarks against global or regional averages. Use the “Compare with” drop-down menu on the left-hand panel to set global or regional comparisons. You can also click on a specific economy to access its economic profile.

The column view allows you to compare and rank economies or industries across any indicator in the report.

Try selecting “Transformation barriers – Inability to attract talent to the industry”; you’ll notice the Real Estate sector stands out as the industry that views it as the key obstacle.

You can use the “Filter by” feature to filter results by region or income group for more nuanced analysis.

The scatter plot view helps uncover correlations between any two indicators in the report.

Plotting “Macrotrends – Increased efforts and investments to adapt to climate change” against “Technology trends – Energy generation, storage and distribution” might reveal that economies concerned about climate-adaptation trends also view energy technology as transformative. You might discover interesting outliers or unexpected patterns.

The quadrant lines feature also divides the plot into four sections based on global averages, helping identify leaders, laggards and interesting cases that excel in one dimension but not another.

The Future of Jobs Report 2025 data explorer transforms complex workforce data into an accessible, interactive experience. Switching between views allows you to track how specific trends impact jobs and skills, identify economy- and region-level patterns and outliers, benchmark performance across economies and industries, and discover unexpected relationships between workforce indicators.

Whether designing policy, planning hiring strategies or researching labour market dynamics, this tool empowers you to extract the insights you need from the Future of Jobs Report 2025.
