The jobs facing boom or bust in 2025 – as biggest salary rises revealed

It’s good news for those looking for a job in air travel - but no so much with newspapers. Knowing where the job market is heading across the year is vital information for those who hope to change roles, or even industries, in the coming months. Insights suggest thousands of UK professionals aim to be finding a new place to work, or at least a change of role, across the coming year, and we’ve already seen recently that some jobs remain unaffected by the rise or incorporation of artificial intelligence - while others can expect to be severely impacted in one way or another.
Now another study has identified the jobs which are set to face a boom across the coming year...and which face rather more struggle, based on earnings across the last year and data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS). However, at the other end of the scale were psychologists, residential wardens and accounting professionals, all down between eight and ten per cent - with journalists and reporters the hardest hit by far, with earnings down a whopping 23 per cent for the year.
A rising salary base can be a sign of strong growth in a job sector as demand for new roles can push up wages. Air travel assistants were the highest growth area in this regard, with the role referring to workers issuing boarding passes, examining documentation and providing airport assistance. Salaries for those professionals went up by a massive 56 per cent last year, according to the study, while the education sector - in certain jobs at least - also features highly.
