The most famous Jobs in tech was born on this day in 1955.

Apple cofounder and tech visionary Steve Jobs helped usher in personal computing and the smartphone era, creating shifts that changed how we live and work. And with every technological leap, the labor market reshapes along with it.

Roles like UX researchers, Cloud architects and DevOps engineers, positions that didn’t exist a generation ago, are now foundational.

That’s how tech goes: innovation creates industries, and industries create jobs.
