The Future of Jobs

“The Future of Jobs” appears in The Expertise Economy as a World Economic Forum report cited to support the book’s claim about rising demand for Critical Thinking. The book quotes it directly: the report “shows that critical-thinking skills will rise in demand as organizations rush to deal with an ever-increasing variety of complex problems.” It is used as external evidence backing the book’s larger argument that, over the past decade, critical thinking has become one of the most sought-after employee traits and a key skill for the future — part of the four-step learning loop (Self-Reflection → critical thinking → feedback) that the book says most workplace learning fails to complete.

Context: “The Future of Jobs Report” is a recurring research series published by the World Economic Forum that forecasts how technology, automation, and economic shifts will reshape labor markets and which skills employers will most demand. It is widely cited in workforce-development and reskilling discussions.
