Conclusion

Workyard spokesperson Nic De Bonis made a statement on the subject, “We notice how certain professions are developing steadily and becoming more demanded, which leads to an ongoing need for specialists.

While technological advancements have resulted in the reduction of certain occupations, it is important to understand that this dynamic also creates the potential for the formation of new jobs. For example, the profession of the Prompt Engineer may lead to a reduction in some professions, but it also has the ability to open up new paths and opportunities.”
