The Claim

The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 states that 60% of employers expect expanding digital access to transform their business operations by 2030.

The Short Version

The 60% statistic is well-supported by the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025, as confirmed by the primary EY-hosted document and multiple secondary sources. The claim's wording differs slightly from the report's original language — the report says "broadening digital access" and "transform their business," while the claim says "expanding digital access" and "business operations." These are minor paraphrasing differences that preserve the substantive meaning without creating a false impression.

Caveats

  • The WEF report's exact phrasing is 'broadening digital access,' not 'expanding digital access' — a minor but technically inaccurate paraphrase.
  • The original report says employers expect this trend to 'transform their business,' not specifically 'business operations' — a slight scope addition in the claim.
  • Some secondary sources bundle digital access with AI when citing the 60% figure, suggesting the statistic's scope may be interpreted more broadly in some contexts.
