Abstract: Abstract With the rapid development of digital technology and artificial intelligence, in recent years, a large number of enterprises have carried out digital transformation in order to enhance their competitiveness. This article explores the impact of digital transformation of enterprises on China’s labor market. The research results show that this enterprise environment has great benefits for the labor market, but it also brings some negative effects. On the positive side, digital transformation expands the range of employment options by creating new jobs. As enterprises’ demand for highly skilled and high-quality labor force increases, the labor force structure in enterprises is optimized. In order to attract high-quality labor force, enterprises increase wages and thus increase labor income. Finally, digitalization has broken down the time and space constraints of work and unleashed the potential of some workers. However, digital transformation also brings challenges, including skills mismatch issues and psychological stress due to rapid advances in digital technology and confusion about future career forms. In order to alleviate these negative problems, two solutions are proposed, namely the establishment of psychological consultation rooms and the development of staff training programs.
