UK Job Market Splits in Two as AI Demand Surges and Knowledge-Work Postings Decline

First seen · 8/5/2026, 11:42 PMLatest activity · 8/5/2026, 11:42 PM

According to The Decoder’s account of Indeed data, AI now appears in 9.4% of UK job postings, up from roughly 2% in 2023. At the same time, overall hiring is declining in knowledge-work fields such as marketing and management, while AI-related listings continue to grow quickly. Indeed describes the divergence as a “two-speed labor market.” The figures suggest that AI demand is expanding within a weakening professional hiring environment, though the supplied excerpt does not establish whether automation is causing the broader decline.
