  • A new study has found that about 25 percent of jobs are going to change in the next five years.
  • 2
  • The finding comes from a survey of employers published Monday by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
  • 3
  • The organization is best known for its yearly meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
  • 4
  • About 69 million jobs will be created and 83 million removed by 2027, it said.
  • 5
  • That will result in a total decrease of 2 percent of current employment, the Future of Jobs report said.
  • 6
  • The survey is based on data from about 800 companies employing more than 11 million workers.
  • 7
  • It used data from 673 million jobs.
