Computer programming has seen one of the biggest rises. An additional 274,000 people work in the field compared with when the last census took place in 2011. The polling, carried out by Opinium for Prospect, a trade union for tech experts and other specialist roles, also shows that 58% of workers believe the government should set rules around the use of AI to protect workers' jobs.
"Rather than waiting until more problems occur before taking action, government must engage now with both employees and employers to draw up fair new rules for using this tech."Among the most male-dominated professions were construction and building roles. Over 99% of bricklayers, roofers and scaffolders were men.Some 97% of early education and childcare practitioners were women.
The jobs with the oldest age profiles were elected representatives and farmers, with around a third of workers in those professions aged 65 and over. So is the farming sector in trouble, or will those younger farm workers eventually progress into more senior roles?
