What's trending?
Keeping up with the Kardashians - I mean careers...
The labour market is constantly changing and growing. While many new jobs will be created every year, many more existing jobs will also be affected by changing technologies, new products and techniques, foreign trade, changing consumer preferences, and other factors such as our current COVID-19 global pandemic.
Almost everyone will be affected by these changes, and it is clear that some occupations will do better than others. Few jobs will remain the same, and many people will need to upgrade their skills, change jobs, or even change careers. It is important to stay up to date with career trends while you decide what career to pursue.
