The author analyzed job data on Upwork from 2022/11 to 2024/02 to see which jobs have dropped, which jobs have increased, which jobs have hourly wages have dropped, and which AI skills have increased the most job placements. 2022/November was chosen as the starting point because ChatGPT was released on 2022/11/30, which is regarded as the starting point for generative AI.
Since Upwork is a freelance platform, users around the world can freely contract and receive contracts on it. It is less affected by layoffs and is relatively objective.
The three categories with the largest declines in job numbers were writing, translation and customer service jobs. The number of writing jobs fell by 33%, translation jobs fell by 19%, and customer service jobs fell by 16%. (Figure 1)
The largest increase in the number of jobs is video editing/production, graphic design, web design, and software development. The number of video editing/production jobs increased by 39%, graphic design jobs increased by 8%, and web design jobs increased by 10%. Software development work also increased, with back-end development work increasing by 6%, and front-end/web development work increasing by 4%. (Figure 2)
The biggest declines in hourly wages were in translation, video editing/production and market research. Hourly wages fell by more than 20%, with translation jobs most affected, followed by video editing/production and market research. Graphic design and web design are the most resilient. Not only have they increased in number, but their hourly wages have also increased slightly. Graphic design and web design work is still in demand and has not been replaced by AI tools. (Figure 3)
The largest increase in job releases for AI skills is: chatbots, integration of OpenAI/ChatGPT AP
I. Developing AI agents, generating AI content, and developing AI applications. The most popular one is work related to developing chat robots, which has increased by 2000%! (Figure 4)
conclusion
- Since the release of ChatGPT, writing, customer service and translation work on Upwork has been significantly reduced.
Web design, graphic design, software development and video production are the most resilient, and demand has not declined (or even increased). - It’s unclear whether this is because AI tools are not good enough or because the public has not learned how to use them effectively.
- Judging by the fact that there has been no increase in the number of data annotations or machine learning jobs, most companies are not currently focusing on training or fine-tuning their large language models.
- Currently, the most popular AI use case is undoubtedly developing chat robots.
