Welcome back to the show—or welcome if this is your first time listening. It’s the first episode of 2025, and I'll be kicking things off with a very popular topic. You’ve probably seen this subject all over the internet: the top trends in the job market. Whether it’s online work, remote work, in-person work, virtual work, or any other kind of work you can imagine, we will be diving into what’s ahead.

Talking about trends is a long-standing tradition here on The Remote Work Retirement Show. Since day one, I have been sharing insights on what’s shaping the way we work, and today, I'm going to narrow it down to the five most important trends for 2025. Plus, I'll discuss what you can do to adapt to or take advantage of these trends.

Here’s how I'm going to tackle it: First I will give you a high-level list, and then I’ll go through each trend in detail. And, of course, there will be micro-trends sprinkled along the way to give you the full picture.

The Five Top Job Market Trends for 2025

1. Artificial Intelligence and Automation
   How AI and automation are reshaping the workplace—and what it means for you.
2. Skills-Based Hiring
   The growing focus on skills over degrees and experience in recruitment.
3. Human Skills vs. Tech Skills
   Balancing interpersonal skills with the technical know-how demanded in today’s jobs.
4. The Gig Economy
   Why freelancing and gig work continue to grow and how to thrive in this space.
5. Remote Work
   No surprise here—it wouldn’t be The Remote Work Retirement Show without a deep dive into what’s next for remote work.
