In the rapidly evolving landscape of executive assistance, the role of executive assistants (EAs) has shifted from traditional administrative duties to that of strategic business partners, amidst a projected 20% decline in EA jobs in the U.S. from 2021 to 2031. This evolution is further influenced by technological advancements, as tools like Google Calendar, Gmail, and Zoom have taken over many tasks once handled by EAs, redistributing these responsibilities across business leaders and the global workforce.
