Die Digitalisierung verändert die Arbeitswelt grundlegend.
Digitalization is fundamentally changing the world of work.
The word is made up of 'Arbeit' (work), the linking -s, and 'Welt' (world). So it literally describes the 'world of work'.

Common expressions are 'in die Arbeitswelt eintreten' (to enter the world of work), 'sich in der Arbeitswelt zurechtfinden' (to find one's way in the world of work), or 'die moderne Arbeitswelt' (the modern world of work). It is often used in connection with major changes and trends.

labor market
'der Arbeitsmarkt' and 'die Arbeitswelt' both have to do with jobs and work, but they do not mean the same thing. 'der Arbeitsmarkt' mainly describes how many jobs there are and how many people are looking for work. People often use it when talking about job searching, unemployment, or skilled workers. 'die Arbeitswelt' is broader: it includes everyday working life, working hours, technology, rules, colleagues, and changes in professional life. Learners may confuse the words because both talk about work in general. As a guide: when jobs are being searched for or offered, 'Arbeitsmarkt' fits; when it is about life and work in a profession, 'Arbeitswelt' fits.
