Exact excerpt

Published in Nature Communications, the study analyzed 167 million online job postings covering 721 occupations across nearly a decade. Challenging the conventional wisdom that technological disruption primarily affects STEM and high-skill workers whose jobs exhibit greater skill volatility, the researchers found that jobs with fewer skill requirements, lower wages, and less education experience the greatest skill change. The researchers quantify skill change not only by the number of skills required but also by how far new skills deviate from existing ones.
