aceWEF: 170 million new roles projected globally by 2030
New AI-adjacent skills already carry wage premiums in 1 of every 10 job postings in advanced economies.
About 1 in 10 job vacancies in advanced economies now demand a new AI or IT-related skill, and those roles pay more.
Projections are not placements: the new roles skew toward workers who already have digital skills, and say nothing about whether displaced workers can reach them.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0001 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
