Abstract

This paper analyzes the changes in labor market demand and the resulting supply-demand conflicts brought about by the transition to the feeling economy. It evaluates the changing demand for vocational skills in the feeling economy, and analyzes the contradiction between supply and demand in the labor market. Additionally, it offers insights into personal career planning, guiding individuals on how to navigate skill development in both the emotional economy and STEM fields. By outlining strategies to align career plans with the feeling economy's needs—such as prioritizing emotional competency training alongside relevant technical skills—the study provides actionable recommendations for workers to adapt and thrive in this transformative economic landscape.
