As a result, the specifics of changing the nature of labor under the influence of technical, technological and organizational innovations carried out during the first, second, third and fourth industrial revolutions are substantiated and presented. Research results: the specific features of the fourth industrial revolution are revealed that had an impact on the changing nature of labor at the present stage: the introduction of ICT in production, contributing to the emergence of new configurations of labor and capital and causing an increase in demand for workers who own new technologies for working in the “cloud”, new “digital” skills capable of enterprise, invention and self-realization.
