The labor market is a complex system of financial and social connections that change under the influence factors occurring in global economy which are above all the use of artificial intelligence, intelligent machines, digitalization, big data, cloud services. The current transformation of global work criteria means that many functions performed by employees are entrusted to artificial intelligence and intelligent machines and are subject to standardization as a result of the increasing use of IT tools by enterprises. The purpose of this article was to verify whether, in the period of 2019-2021, technological changes and digitalization in Poland actually influenced the change in labour demand and the change in the structure of the labour market. The correlation between the flexibility of employment (measured by the share of self-employed) in individual sections of the NACE and the dynamics of changes in the number of jobs was also examined.
The conducted analysis did not confirm that the development of new technologies in Poland contributes to reducing the demand for labour. On the contrary, the most dynamic increase in the number of jobs in 2019-2021 concerned the most technologically advanced industries. New technologies in Poland contribute to the creation of new jobs, not to their elimination.
