Increasing the power of computer technology, combined with the rapid spread of the Internet, large databases, etc., significantly changes the nature of work. Innovation in the labor process boosts productiveness and decreases costs. By increasing overall productivity, innovations in ICT allow enterprises, institutions, and organizations to produce a certain number of goods and services resorting to fewer employees, which leads to the technological lack of jobs. To carry out a rigorous analysis of this issue, obtain trustworthy results, and draw relevant conclusions, the authors applied general and special research methods. It has been found that the processes of digitalization affect the labor market, in particular, the emergence of new and the disappearance of «old» professions. In Ukraine, digitalization processes significantly affect the course of labor relations and the organization of labor at enterprises, institutions, and organizations. The authors note that it is still a matter of concern to ensure the security of such information and to determine the range of persons who will have access to such information, such as who will be the owners and managers of such information. The authors of this article argue that innovations in labor legislation make sense in today’s information society.
