A new forecast says the UAE needs to add over a million workers by 2030. That's a massive jump of more than twelve percent, which is way higher than expected growth in places like the US or UK. The demand is being pushed by general economic expansion and a big need for tech roles.
Sectors like manufacturing, education, and retail will create the most raw job numbers. In terms of growth speed, energy and utilities will lead, followed by education. The report says AI will help with efficiency but won't replace the need for people, with overall workforce growth driven by the economy pegged at twenty-six percent. Tech jobs specifically are set to boom, with demand rising over fifty percent. Roles like search marketing strategists and computer programmers will be particularly hot.
Company leader William O'Neill stated that blending human work with AI is key to future growth. To help with the skills gap, his firm launched a learning platform this year. The message is that businesses need to focus on training and planning to get ready for an AI-augmented economy.
