They prefer to work in a hospital than in a great technological

The labor market has not finished leaving the storm caused by the Generalized Teleworking Implementation and the subsequent movements of the companies to make their employees return to officeswhen you must face a new challenge.

A study Made in the United States by the National Society of Hight School Scholars (NSHSS) has revealed the first signs of tired of generation Z with the Labor dynamics of the technological sector. The data suggest that, given a future marked by the arrival of AI, young people prefer to study careers related to the health or welfare scope, leaving aside the computer races or certain engineering.

A sector at risk. Prominent voices at the head of large companies, Like Nvidia or aws, They have assured On different occasions that AI will make the engineers unnecessary know how to program. Technological profiles are expected to be the most sensitive to Automation Impact As companies begin to implement AI, which shows a bad expectation for the future for the sector.

In addition, the job instabilitywith hundreds of thousands of annual layoffs in large companies, and their high rotation, it remains attractive to a Z generation that seeks economic stability for its future, such and as revealed The consultant’s survey What’s The Big Data.

Generation Z prioritizes job stability. According to collected data By Networks Trends about a sample of more than 10,000 US students, 76% of the young Z generation who are graduating in universities prioritize a stable work careerabove the location of the company (75%), its reputation (72%) and even the possibility of obtaining a high salary (71%).

50% of respondents say they are very concerned because, after years of study of a career they like, the incorporation to A toxic work environment take them to suffer burnout or have trouble developing their career. With that fear in mind, many of the students have reduced their interest in great technological ones, which no longer offer the idyllic job environments years ago.

Great technology are no longer preference. According to The study From HSHSS, newly graduated students are prioritizing working in companies in the health or welfare sector, instead of in the great technological ones that had been leading the listings of better places to work for years.

According to these data, Google has gone from being the fourth company in which students would like to work in 2022, to occupy the seventh place on the list in 2024. Just behind we find Amazon and Apple, which have also fallen several positions. Companies like Spacex have fallen from the ninth place to the twenty -second.

The trend also reaches Spain. Although at a slower pace, the change in trend in the election of careers, the branches of the field of health and social services have registered a significant increase between 2018 and 2024, as reflected in The study ‘Employability of young people in Spain of 2024’ prepared by the CYD Foundation.

Computer and engineering careers continue to have A very important weight In the election of the students, but the careers of Medicine and Nursing have registered a very prominent rebound, although the report highlights that it is one of the sectors with the greatest temporality.

Spain ages: sanitary ones are needed. He demographic aging In Spain it is one of the reasons why this health sector has grown 4% in the last year and faces a generational relief process given that, According to data Randstad, 40% of employees in this sector are over 45 years old.

That is, unlike the technological that tends to specialization and automation, the health sector tends to need more personnel and with a low exposure to the impact of AI.
