- Young employees are under pressure: AI is increasingly taking over classic entry-level work in office and knowledge jobs.
- This is shown by the first AI report from jobs.ch, for which 7.3 million job advertisements were evaluated.
- Jobcloud CEO Marco Bertoli sees this primarily as a question of training offerings and further training prospects.
Irregular working hours, great burden and a low reward: Health workers jump off and thus strengthen the situation Shortage of skilled workers in nursing. This is confirmed by the first AI report from jobs.ch.
The job portal operator Jobcloud examined how the demand for workers has developed since the AI breakthrough in 2023 based on 7.3 million job advertisements on jobs.ch, jobup.ch and jobscout24.ch.
The results show that the shortage of skilled workers remains significant in certain sectors, especially in healthcare, construction, crafts and technical professions. Nursing specialists are currently eight times more difficult to recruit than in 2023.
There are changes in office and knowledge jobs. Employers are increasingly asking about AI skills in job advertisements outside of classic IT professions.
AI takes over simple tasks
At the same time, the proportion of entry-level positions in AI-exposed professions has fallen by 32 percent since the AI breakthrough. Office and knowledge jobs in which individual tasks can now be supported or partially automated by AI are particularly affected.
Jobcloud CEO Marco Bertoli says: “AI is increasingly taking on tasks that were long considered classic entry-level work. The crucial question is therefore not whether work will disappear, but rather how people will build up professional experience in the future.”
In parallel to the analysis of the job advertisements, Jobcloud asked 3,600 people how they assessed the effects of AI. 41 percent of those under 25 said they were worried about losing professional importance due to AI.

“If four out of ten young employees fear losing professional relevance, this is not primarily a technology issue. It’s a question of training offerings, further training and perspectives,” says Bertoli.
The company Jobcloud is half owned by the 20-minute parent company TX Group.
