PwC claims that AI is dividing the job market into two parts, and financial analysts have not been replaced According to a report by Golden Finance on June 15th, a new study shows that AI is driving the global labor market with two opposing forces: rewarding companies that make good use of AI to enhance human skills, and further lagging behind companies that only use AI to reduce costs. According to a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the growth rate of positions requiring specific AI skills by 2025 is nearly eight times that of the overall job market, using radiologists and recruitment specialists as examples. The study titled '2026 AI Employment Barometer' indicates that the salary growth rate for these types of positions is also higher. The fastest growing positions are those that can utilize AI to enhance human skills, such as creativity and judgment, radiologists, and recruiters. In contrast, positions that make it easier for non professionals to perform their work due to AI, such as IT service managers and medical secretaries, have seen significantly slower growth. The case of financial analysts is worth paying attention to: these personnel have not been replaced, but have instead gained powerful AI tools that enable them to conduct more complex analyses. Research has shown that the employment of financial analysts continues to increase, and with the emergence of many new specialized positions, many offer higher salaries.
