AI需要の急増で英求人市場が二分化、知的労働の求人は激減
英国の求人広告におけるAIへの言及が9.4%に達する一方、知的労働全体の採用は減少しており、従来の専門知識がAIスキルに価値を奪われる二速度の労働市場が生まれている。
uk job postings mentioning ai rose to 9.4% in june 2026, up from 2% in 2023, while overall listings dropped 11% early this year and remain 32% below pre-pandemic baselines. the divergence is starkest in knowledge work: marketing and management sectors have ai-specific job indexes over 300 while their general hiring indices sit below 80. nearly half of data and software roles now require ai skills, but demand has bled into non-tech fields like banking, finance, and media. meanwhile, job seeker interest has surged sevenfold since the launch of chatgpt, signaling a widespread recognition that ai literacy is becoming the primary differentiator for employability.
