The gamified, owl-mascoted language learning app Duolingo is completing its "AI-first" pivot — and replacing all its human contractors along the way.
In an all-hands email that was later posted on LinkedIn, Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn announced that the company would "gradually stop using contractors to do work that AI can handle."
Part of that shift, von Ahn wrote, will involve deploying the tech before it’s "100 percent perfect."
"We're not going to rebuild everything overnight, and some things — like getting Al to understand our codebase-will take time," the CEO wrote. "However, we can't wait until the technology is 100% perfect. We'd rather move with urgency and take occasional small hits on quality than move slowly and miss the moment."
Along with "gradually" offloading all its human contractors, Duolingo will also, per von Ahn’s timeline, use knowledge of AI when hiring and in performance reviews.
Don't do it, Duolingo.

Slow Fork
Folks online have found the language app’s shift towards AI pretty duo-plicitious — especially because Duolingo has been using AI for years now. As one user on the r/Technology subreddit noted, Duolingo already appears to use "AI pronunciations for Irish" and "sacked the contractor" or contractors that built it out.
That user isn't the first to make that claim — two years ago, folks on the Duolingo subreddit pointed out that the voices for Irish (the term folks in Ireland and its diaspora use for Gaelic) seemed to be "computer generated" and, basically, crappy. A few months later, a company spokesperson confirmed that translators had indeed been fired in favor of AI.
Over on Bluesky, sentiments were similar.
"The best time to delete Duolingo was when they first included AI shit," one user quipped. "The second best time is now."
With news of the app pivoting even further in favor of AI, there is a good case to be made that Duolingo’s gamified model was never really that helpful for language learning to begin with.
"Last year I replaced Duolingo with actual studying," another Bluesky-er posted, "and you can too." | 1 month ago | Futurism | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 39 | AI replacing workers | 2025-06-17 14:02:35 | null |

A recent survey found that 41 percent of employers across the globe have plans to fire your ass and replace you with an AI that can do your job.
Whether or not AI will ever advance to the point where it can fully replicate the intricacies of a human’s effort, creativity, attention to detail, and outside-the-box thinking enough to fully replace a person, even for the most menial job, is another matter altogether.
On the bright side, if these cost-cutting scumbags are to be believed, 77 percent of companies also said that they would focus on “reskilling” and “upscaling” existing employees between 2025 and 2030. This means workers won’t necessarily be replaced by AI but be taught how to work alongside it.
You know the person who oversees the self-checkout lanes at CVS/the grocery store/Home Depot? That. They have plans to turn you into that, [a babysitter for technology](https://www.vice.com/en/article/writers-are-becoming-ai-prompt-engineers-a-job-which-may-or-may-not-exist) and a workflow still in its infancy. Sounds fulfilling. Spiritually uplifting, even.
The survey, conducted by the [World Economic Forum](https://reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_Report_2025.pdf), or WEF, provided a handy list of the kinds of jobs that companies are looking to replace. Postal Service clerks, executive secretaries, payroll clerks, basically anyone with a job primarily consisting of routine administrative tasks. Graphic designers are another big one that AI is predicted to replace.
The report says that while you may lose whatever job you have now, nearly 70 percent of companies intend to hire employees with experience in designing AI tools. Meanwhile, 62 percent are going to start recruiting people who can work alongside AI, which sounds a lot like they’re looking for people who won’t feel resentful of a technology that’s taking a job that could’ve been theirs.
All of this stands in stark contrast to the WEF’s 2023 report that said that AI would bring about a “net positive” for job numbers. One year later, the report predicts massive job losses and what sounds like no real plan of what those people are going to do for a living other than the insulting suggestion that they become stewards of the technology that replaced them.

Billionaire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is bullish about an AI future, but he advises all workers to follow one piece of advice to avoid being the technology’s latest victim.

Nvidia’s billionaire CEO Jensen Huang says ignoring AI may be a one-way ticket to unemployment, with the tech set to unquestionably impact every job. But embracing AI could send 40 million people back to work—a message that’s in stark contrast to other CEOs, like Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, who are predicting massive unemployment in less than five years.
If you’re worried about generative AI replacing your job, get in line.
Even tech CEOs like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang are sounding the alarm bells about the technology’s impending impact on the job market. But the thing that workers fear most could also be their saving grace.
“Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable,” Huang said at the Milken Institute’s Global Conference earlier this month. “You’re not going to lose your job to an AI, but you’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.”
In fact, the 62-year-old billionaire predicted that AI will help reverse the global talent shortage and technology divide by putting 30 to 40 million workers back into the workplace. Everyone learning to use generative AI will be the secret to increasing global GDP, he said.
“I would recommend 100% of everybody take advantage of AI,” Jensen added. “Don’t be that person who ignores this technology and as a result, loses your job.”
Fortune has reached Nvidia for comment.
Tech CEOs are divided over AI’s impact on jobs
Not every tech leader is in agreement with Huang. In a bold prediction earlier this week, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that half of all entry-level white-collar jobs could be eliminated within the next five years, leading to soaring unemployment levels.
“Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced—and 20% of people don’t have jobs,” he predicted to Axios earlier this week.
“We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming,” Amodei added. “I don’t think this is on people’s radar.”
Just last week, Anthropic released its most powerful AI models yet—ones that rival OpenAI and Google—and include what’s self-described as “the world’s best coding model.”
This may not be exciting news for some software engineers, in particular, who have already felt the impacts of AI’s ability to replace coders. In fact, one former software engineer—who lost his job last year and has been unable to find new work, even after submitting 800 applications—told Fortune it’s turned into an existential crisis for part of the tech industry.
At the same time, there remain tech leaders who aren’t as cynical and agree more with Huang: that AI will enable job creation more so than loss. For example, billionaire Mark Cuban took to Bluesky yesterday to push back on Amodei’s claim.
“Someone needs to remind the CEO that at one point there were more than 2 million secretaries,” Cuban wrote. “There were also separate employees to do in-office dictation.”
“They were the original white-collar displacements. New companies with new jobs will come from AI and increase total employment.” | 3 weeks ago | Fortune | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 41 | AI replacing workers | 2025-06-17 14:02:35 | null |

Now They’re Looking for Humans Again.

Two years after bragging that artificial intelligence could do the work of 700 employees, Swedish fintech giant Klarna is quietly backpedaling—by asking some of those same humans to return.
In 2023, Klarna stopped hiring altogether. By 2024, it had partnered with OpenAI, slashed customer service and marketing departments, and publicly declared that “AI can already do all of the jobs that we, as humans, do,” according to CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski. The company was quick to celebrate its $10 million in savings, claiming generative AI could handle translations, image production, data analysis—and customer complaints.
But now, the buy-now-pay-later platform seems to be rethinking that bet.
“From a brand perspective, a company perspective, I just think it’s so critical that you are clear to your customer that there will be always a human if you want,” Siemiatkowski told Bloomberg recently. That’s a stark contrast to his earlier enthusiasm for automation, and a whispered acknowledgment that Klarna’s AI-first approach didn’t exactly win over users.
The shift comes after a rough stretch of customer frustration and diminishing returns. While AI may be efficient, it turns out it’s not great at handling nuance, empathy, or angry customers yelling about missed payments. “Cost unfortunately seems to have been a too predominant evaluation factor…what you end up having is lower quality,” the CEO admitted.
The company’s employee count dropped from over 5,500 in 2022 to just 3,400 by the end of 2023. Now, Klarna is reportedly considering an “Uber-style” hiring model—bringing in gig workers to handle customer service from home—effectively re-humanizing the jobs it once cut, just with less stability.
Klarna isn’t the only company experiencing AI whiplash. Duolingo recently announced it would stop using human contractors in favor of automation, while CrowdStrike drew criticism for gutting its workforce and replacing employees with AI just weeks before a global IT outage.
Meanwhile, surveys show that many corporate leaders aren’t thrilled with how automation is going. Over half of UK business leaders who rushed to replace human jobs with AI say they now regret it. A Carnegie Mellon study found that even the “best” AI workers could only complete about a quarter of basic tasks.
The future of work may still involve AI—but Klarna’s regret is a clear reminder that replacing people entirely might be harder (and messier) than it looks. | 1 month ago | VICE | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 42 | AI replacing workers | 2025-06-17 14:02:35 | null |
Meta reportedly replacing human risk assessors with AI | https://mashable.com/article/meta-ai-replacing-humans-risk-assessment | Meta is planning to automate around 90 percent of its review processes, tasked with assessing user risks, algorithms, and content sharing. | # Meta reportedly replacing human risk assessors with AI
By Chase DiBenedetto
on June 1, 2025
Internal documents shed light on even more AI plans for Meta.
According to new internal documents review by NPR, Meta is allegedly planning to replace human risk assessors with AI, as the company edges closer to complete automation.
Historically, Meta has relied on human analysts to evaluate the potential harms posed by new technologies across its platforms, including updates to the algorithm and safety features, part of a process known as privacy and integrity reviews.
But in the near future, these essential assessments may be taken over by bots, as the company looks to automate 90 percent of this work using artificial intelligence.
Despite previously stating that AI would only be used to assess "low-risk" releases, Meta is now rolling out use of the tech in decisions on AI safety, youth risk, and integrity, which includes misinformation and violent content moderation, reported NPR. Under the new system, product teams submit questionnaires and receive instant risk decisions and recommendations, with engineers taking on greater decision-making powers.
While the automation may speed up app updates and developer releases in line with Meta's efficiency goals, insiders say it may also pose a greater risk to billions of users, including unnecessary threats to data privacy.
In April, Meta's oversight board published a series of decisions that simultaneously validated the company's stance on allowing "controversial" speech and rebuked the tech giant for its content moderation policies.
"As these changes are being rolled out globally, the Board emphasizes it is now essential that Meta identifies and addresses adverse impacts on human rights that may result from them," the decision reads. "This should include assessing whether reducing its reliance on automated detection of policy violations could have uneven consequences globally, especially in countries experiencing current or recent crises, such as armed conflicts." | 2 weeks ago | Mashable | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 43 | AI replacing workers | 2025-06-17 14:02:35 | null |

If and when AI will start replacing human labor has been the subject of numerous debates.
While it’s still hard to say with certainty if AI is beginning to take over roles previously done by humans, a recent survey from the World Economic Forum found that 40% of employers intend to cut staff where AI can automate tasks.
Researchers at SignalFire, a data-driven VC firm that tracks job movements of over 600 million employees and 80 million companies on LinkedIn, believe they may be seeing first signs of AI’s impact on hiring.
When analyzing hiring trends, SignalFire noticed that tech companies recruited fewer recent college graduates in 2024 than they did in 2023. Meanwhile, tech companies, especially the top 15 Big Tech businesses, ramped up their hiring of experienced professionals.
Specifically, SignalFire found that Big Tech companies reduced the hiring of new graduates by 25% in 2024 compared to 2023. Meanwhile, graduate recruitment at startups decreased by 11% compared to the prior year. Although SignalFire wouldn’t reveal exactly how many fewer grads were hired according to their data, a spokesperson told us it was thousands.
While adoption of new AI tools might not fully explain the dip in recent grad hiring, Asher Bantock, SignalFire’s head of research, says there’s “convincing evidence” that AI is a significant contributing factor.
Entry-level jobs are susceptible to automation because they often involve routine, low-risk tasks that generative AI handles well.
AI’s new coding, debugging, financial research, and software installation abilities could mean companies need fewer people to do that type of work. AI’s ability to handle certain entry-level tasks means some jobs for new graduates could soon be obsolete.
Gabe Stengel, the founder of AI financial analyst startup Rogo, started his career at Lazard investment bank where he helped large pharma companies buy biotech startups. Rogo’s tool “can do almost all the work I did in the analysis of those companies,” Stengel said onstage at Newcomer’s financial technology summit last week. “We can put together the materials, diligence the company, look through their financials.”
While most large investment banks haven’t explicitly reduced analyst hiring due to AI yet, executives at firms like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley previously considered cutting junior staff hires by up to two-thirds and lowering the pay of those they hire because the work with AI is not as demanding as before, the New York Times reported last year.
Although AI’s threat to low-skilled jobs is real, tech companies’ need for experienced professionals is still rising. According to SignalFire’s report, Big Tech companies increased hiring by 27% for professionals with two to five years of experience, while startups hired 14% more individuals in that same seniority range.
A frustrating paradox emerges for recent graduates: They can’t get hired without experience, but they can’t get experience without being hired. While this dilemma is not new, Heather Doshay, SignalFire’s people and talent partner, says it is considerably exacerbated by AI.
Dashay’s advice to new grads: master AI tools. “AI won’t take your job if you’re the one who’s best at using it,” she said. | 3 weeks ago | TechCrunch | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 44 | AI replacing workers | 2025-06-17 14:02:35 | null |
Tech Startup Raises $24 Million to Replace Hollywood With AI Slop | https://futurism.com/ai-startup-hollywood-slop | So far, French startup Moment Labs has raised $37 million to build its video production software meant to cut the need for humans. | Last Looks

Tech Startup Raises $24 Million to Replace Hollywood With AI Slop
"It's a way to create new revenue streams."
In case you haven't noticed, generative AI is creeping into our lives at an alarming rate. The perfidious tech and its algorithmically-generated slop is becoming a fact of life as unscrupulous tech companies set it loose into the world, consequences be damned.
Unless you live in a hut, AI video slop is pretty much unavoidable. It's choking the internet with deranged brainrot, kids content, and even bizzaro Trump family engagement bait. The avalanche is so devastating that an international coalition of animator unions recently declared an industry-wide emergency over generative AI.
It's coming for the film production industry, as AI video startup Moments Lab makes clear. The company recently completed a Series B funding round, raising about $24 million to develop "AI tools" for film studios. On top of a previous funding round, the company's raised over $37 million to date.
Founded in France — the birthplace of film, as if the software itself wasn't disparaging enough — the company's "core tool," MXT-2, is marketed as something of an AI film librarian. Basically, it scrapes human-made footage and sorts it based on featured subject, actor, and location, according to the company's website.
That job typically falls to the data wrangler on a film set and the assistant editor in post-production, the type of junior-level roles which creative industry gurus say are most susceptible to automation or outright elimination.
With the latest funding round, Moments Lab is eyeing the creation of an "agentic AI tool," a type of software product that's marketed as an autonomous assistant. (AI agents remain notoriously buggy, and tremendously difficult to use at scale.)
If the company's lofty promises turn out — a monumental "if," given the difficulty AI companies have had developing agents — its new tool would take uncut footage and deliver early edits based on text prompts. In that case, video editors would essentially be relegated to AI cleanup duty.
While films using human artists will always exist, software like this has the potential to make major waves in the advertising, television, and broadcast spaces — whether it's technically ready for the job or not.
Even if production studios don't adopt tools offered by Moments Lab en masse, companies like it still have a very real possibility of degrading film labor by suppressing wages, sloppifying human-made content, and ratcheting up the demands on human workers.
Of course, at the heart of their company's pitch, Moments Lab's founders tell BI, isn't a love for the creative process or a desire to make better content, but an increase in revenue.
"It's a way to create new revenue streams," Philippe Petitpont, one of the startup's co-founders said. "Before now, it was very complicated for production companies to create a revenue stream because there was a huge need for humans — it's a very tedious task."
Petitpont likewise told BI that one media client expects to keep fewer editors on board as a result of the tech. "The big question is: Will the assistant start to be the senior editor, or will the job disappear?" the cofounder asked. "We don't know yet." | 4 days ago | Futurism | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 45 | AI replacing workers | 2025-06-17 14:02:35 | null |

Famed AI researcher launches controversial startup to replace all human workers everywhere

April 19, 2025
Every now and then, a Silicon Valley startup launches with such an “absurdly” described mission that it’s difficult to discern if the startup is for real or just satire.
Such is the case with Mechanize, a startup whose founder — and the non-profit AI research organization he founded called Epoch — is being skewered on X after he announced it.
Complaints encompass both the startup’s mission, and the implication that it sullies the reputation of his well-respected research institute. (A director at the research institute even posted on X, “Yay just what I wanted for my bday: a comms crisis.”)
Mechanize was launched on Thursday via a post on X by its founder, famed AI researcher Tamay Besiroglu. The startup’s goal, Besiroglu wrote, is “the full automation of all work” and “the full automation of the economy.”
Does that mean Mechanize is working to replace every human worker with an AI agent bot? Essentially, yes. The startup wants to provide the data, evaluations, and digital environments to make worker automation of any job possible.
Besiroglu even calculated Mechanize’s total addressable market by aggregating all the wages humans are currently paid. “The market potential here is absurdly large: workers in the US are paid around $18 trillion per year in aggregate. For the entire world, the number is over three times greater, around $60 trillion per year,” he wrote.
Besiroglu did, however, clarify to TechCrunch that “our immediate focus is indeed on white-collar work” rather than manual labor jobs that would require robotics.

The response to the startup was often brutal. As X user Anthony Aguirre replied, “Huge respect for the founders’ work at Epoch, but sad to see this. The automation of most human labor is indeed a giant prize for _companies_ , which is why many of the biggest companies on Earth are already pursuing it. I think it will be a huge loss for most _humans_.”
But the controversial part isn’t just this startup’s mission. Besiroglu’s AI research institute, Epoch, analyzes the economic impact of AI and produces benchmarks for AI performance. It was believed to be an impartial way to check performance claims of the SATA frontier model makers and others.
This isn’t the first time [Epoch has waded into controversy](https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/19/ai-benchmarking-organization-criticized-for-waiting-to-disclose-funding-from-openai/). In December, Epoch revealed that OpenAI supported the creation of one of its AI benchmarks, which the ChatGPT maker then used to unveil its new o3 model. Social media users felt Epoch should have been more up front about the relationship.
When Besiroglu announced Mechanize, X user Oliver Habryka replied, “Alas, this seems like approximate confirmation that Epoch research was directly feeding into frontier capability work, though I had hope that it wouldn’t literally come from you.”
Besiroglu says Mechanize is backed by a who’s who: Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, Patrick Collison, Dwarkesh Patel, Jeff Dean, Sholto Douglas, and Marcus Abramovitch. Friedman, Gross, and Dean did not return TechCrunch’s request for comment.
Marcus Abramovitch confirmed that he invested. Abramovitch is a managing partner at crypto hedge fund AltX and a [self-described](https://manifund.org/MarcusAbramovitch) “effective altruist.”
He told TechCrunch he invested because “the team is exceptional across many dimensions and have thought deeper on AI than anyone I know.”
## Good for humans too?
Still, Besiroglu argues to the naysayers that having agents do all the work will actually enrich humans, not impoverish them, through “explosive economic growth.” He points to a [paper he published ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.11690)on the topic.
“Completely automating labor could generate vast abundance, much higher standards of living, and new goods and services that we can’t even imagine today,” he told TechCrunch.
This might be true for whoever owns the agents. That is, if employers pay for them instead of developing them in-house (presumably, by other agents?).
On the other hand, this optimistic outlook overlooks a basic fact: If humans don’t have jobs, they won’t have the income to purchase all the things the AI agents are producing.
Still, Besiroglu says that human wages in such an AI-automated world should actually increase because such workers are “more valuable in complementary roles that AI cannot perform.”
But remember, the goal is for the agents to do all the work. When asked about that, he explained, “Even in scenarios where wages might decrease, economic well-being isn’t solely determined by wages. People typically receive income from other sources — such as rents, dividends, and government welfare.”
So perhaps we all make our living from stocks or real estate. Failing that, there’s always welfare — if the AI agents are paying taxes.
Even though Besiroglu vision and mission are clearly extreme, the technical issue he’s looking to solve is legit. If each human worker has a personal crew of agents that helps them produce more work, economic abundance could follow. And Besiroglu is unquestionably right on at least one thing: A year into the age of AI agents, [they don’t work very well.](https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/09/artisan-the-stop-hiring-humans-ai-agent-startup-raises-25m-and-is-still-hiring-humans/)
He notes that they are unreliable, don’t retain information, struggle to independently complete tasks as asked, “and can’t execute long-term plans without going off the rails.”
However, he’s hardly alone in working on fixes. Giant companies like [Salesforce and Microsoft](https://techcrunch.com/podcast/marc-benioff-says-its-crazy-talk-that-ai-will-hurt-salesforce-wants-a-billion-ai-agents-in-a-year/) are building agentic platforms. [OpenAI is too](https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/11/openai-launches-new-tools-to-help-businesses-build-ai-agents/). And agent startups abound: from task specialists (e.g., outbound sales, financial analysis) to those working on training data. Others are working on [agent pricing economics](https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/25/outreach-founder-manny-medina-has-a-new-startup-that-helps-ai-agents-get-paid/).

SAN FRANCISCO — Luis von Ahn hoped to send a clear message to his 900 employees at Duolingo: Artificial intelligence is now a priority at the language-learning app.
The company would stop using contractors for work AI could handle. It’ll seek AI skills in hiring. AI would be part of performance reviews, and it’ll only hire people when things can’t be automated. The details, outlined in a memo in April and posted on professional networking site LinkedIn, drew outrage.
What readers are saying
The comments reflect a strong skepticism and criticism towards the mandatory use of AI in workplaces like Duolingo and Shopify. Many express concerns about AI's reliability, with examples of AI providing incorrect or nonsensical outputs, and the potential for job displacement....

AI could erase half of entry-level white collar jobs in 5 years, CEO warns | https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-could-erase-half-of-entry-level-white-collar-jobs-in-5-years-ceo-warns/ | Anthropic's Amodei offers a mixed outlook: The same AI arms race that is leading us to 20% unemployment can also cure cancer. | Just one week after Anthropic released its most advanced AI models to date, Opus 4 and Sonnet 4, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned in an interview with Axios about the future of jobs in an AI-centric world.
The replacement
AI could be responsible for eliminating half of all entry-level white-collar jobs -- while spiking unemployment to 10-20% -- in the next one to five years, Amodei said in the interview.
Also: The best free AI courses and certificates - and I've tried many
His motivation for speaking up, Amodei said, is to help people prepare adequately and encourage AI companies and the government to be candid about the change. "Most of them [workers] are unaware that this is about to happen," Amodei told Axios. "It sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it."
When will AI transition from augmenting to automating people's roles? Amodei said it could happen as soon as two years from now. In particular, he warned how this transition threatens the balance of democracy and wealth when the average person's inability to create economic value leads to increased inequality.
In light of this risk, the question becomes: Why not apply the brakes to this accelerating AI arms race with all these companies competing to reach AGI, or human-level intelligence? The answer is a familiar one: There is a market demand for the technology. If US development slowed down due to regulation, China would simply leapfrog us.

The outlook isn't all dark, and Amodei still has hope.
The bigger picture
The same reality in which AI would replace jobs would also exist in which AI makes several meaningful advances in other sectors, such as health care.
Even as AI replaces jobs, the same technology also enables meaningful advances in various sectors, including health care.
"Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced -- and 20% of people don't have jobs," Amodei noted in his conversation with Axios.
He also proposed tangible solutions, including spreading public awareness of the incoming change so that people could reflect on the future of their career paths and perhaps avoid the most vulnerable jobs.
Also: Will AI destroy your job or upgrade it? Depends on your skillset, research shows
A helpful resource for accomplishing this is the Anthropic Economic Index, which tracks different uses of AI, whether augmenting or completely replacing workers, and the occupations related to the work. When the index was first released in February, it found that AI use leaned more toward augmentation (57%), enhancing human processes.
AI literacy is another pillar of Amodei's solutions, with emphasis on teaching people how AI can augment their work so they are prepared to navigate the transition. However, during a press-only session during Code with Claude, where ZDNET was in attendance, Amodei shared that there is a "rising waterline" in augmenting versus replacing use cases, making augmentative solutions short-term strategies.
"When I think about how to make things more augmentative, that is a strategy for the short and the medium term -- in the long term, we are all going to have to contend with the idea that everything humans do is eventually going to be done by AI systems. This is a constant. This will happen," said Amodei.
Amodei's other proposed solutions involved policymakers, with a call to better inform public officials and to start thinking of policy solutions in an economy where superintelligence is a reality.
Also: AI won't take your job, but this definitely will
While Amodei's predictions can be off-putting, every digital transformation leads to a workforce transformation, with some jobs displaced as other jobs are created. Some research shows that coexistence between AI and humans is possible, as the technology actually highlights a need for human skills.
Either way, one truth still holds: AI upskilling is as critical as ever. | 3 weeks ago | ZDNET | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 48 | AI replacing workers | 2025-06-17 14:02:35 | null |

The CEO of layaway startup Klarna is claiming that AI is coming for your white-collar jobs — even though his own actions have made him an international poster boy for AI-obsessed executives itching to replace human workers with AI.
Speaking to The Times Tech podcast, the Sweden-based CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski admitted that adoption of the technology will result in "implication[s] for white-collar jobs" that include, but are not limited to, "at least a recession in the short term."
"Unfortunately, I don't see how we could avoid it, with what's happening from a technology perspective," the CEO said in reference to job loss and a recession.
On that part, unfortunately, he may be right: we've been careening headlong towards a recession for a while now, and unemployment rates — affected, no doubt, by AI-obsessed CEOs like Siemiatkowski laying people off in droves — are a huge factor.
Still, those are bold words coming from this particular Swedish CEO, considering that just a few weeks ago, he admitted to Bloomberg that he's looking to rehire for some of the 700 customer service positions he boasted about replacing with AI in 2024.
The reason? Because, as Siemiatkowski acknowledged, the AIs perform at a "lower quality" than human workers. (In a message after the publication of this story, a PR person at Klarna reached out to claim that "lower quality" was a "misquote.")
Despite prematurely pulling the AI trigger in his own business, the "buy now, pay later" CEO insists the technology will get there.
"I feel like I have an email almost every day from some CEO of a tech or a large company that says we also see opportunities to become more efficient and we would like to compare notes," he told The Times Tech. "If I just take all of those emails and add up the amount of jobs in those emails, it's considerable."
Were Futurism to stake our beliefs by a similar metric, we, too would believe that AI replacing human labor is inevitable. In this writer's inbox alone, there are dozens of similar pitches from companies and so-called "experts" seeking to get our attention from this week alone — and hundreds more where that came from, should we be curious to look.
With AI's present-day capabilities, those emails read as little more than junk mail — but it makes sense that a tech CEO who made his fortune on financial promises would see things a bit differently.
Like other AI boosters, Siemieatkowski added that eventually, the "value of that human touch will increase" and that flesh-and-blood workers will "provide a much higher quality type of service" — after learning new skills, which may or may not become obsolete at some vague point in the future.
Siemieatkowski is, perhaps more than anyone else, the platonic ideal of an AI-boosting CEO — and unfortunately, there are lots of others who will take this kind of prognostication as gospel. | 5 days ago | Yahoo | data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBwgHBgkIBwgKCgkLDRYPDQwMDRsUFRAWIB0iIiAdHx8kKDQsJCYxJx8fLT0tMTU3Ojo6Iys/RD84QzQ5OjcBCgoKDQwNGg8PGjclHyU3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3N//AABEIAEIAeAMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAcAAACAgMBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAABgUHAQMEAgj/xABEEAABAgQEAQgHBAUNAAAAAAABAgMABAURBhIhMUEHExRRYXGBkRUiIzJSodFyweHwJDNisbIXNEJDRVNUgqKjwsPS/8QAGQEAAwEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMFBAEC/8QAJBEAAgIBAwQDAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQREhMhMTNRMkFxUiL/2gAMAwEAAhEDEQA/AEuQ5RsVSEm3KyE/LsSzY9RpuRZCUi9zYBOmuseV8pmLUTiZsTkqJpDZbDwkmswQTfL7u19YUZZ64yq4a2jepPOJzHu4QATDuPq+5MrmVuSZfWbqc6G3cnt0iSo+J8ZYoqspTZESs1MhWZrNIskNaWKycugsdTC/h/DlTxHVm6bSWOcfXqpSjZDSeKlHgPyI+gcO4cpuEaYum0g85MOW6bOKHrvK6h1JHUP33J9Qg5vRC7bY1R3MwkOUelFjnmZudDZTMzaZdCErvuhKQLZe/UxGSVOpjTrbzVKprbrakrQtEi0ClQ2IOXcRMVBA6OU7AkREywcWAG0lSgm5A1irVTWo9URp5Fs3rqMLdVnBs/buSn6RsFWnv8SryT9Igm3V3SClV1e7pv3RtU6tuwcSpJI0Cha8ddMNeyPPLb7ZMGqTh3mFH/Kn6RHVJEvUub9IS0rNc3fJz8u2vLfe1xpwjmL/AHx5Luu8Coj6Oc1n9M7JJxlcqqlhMtKsrzCXWJdBRLuE75LWIJ3/ACYq7F1SqtOqb9PqcnTeeatcOU5hQV1KBKNQeB/GLBliHUrzAG5Fx4ax6xDh9rGtGEk4tDVZlQehTLmzibXKFniPmN+sHLk0bVvib8TJ1fHN/hRkzX5vN6ktSED9mkyv3txrTimqtoyt+j0p2smmSw/645apJzMhOPSc6ytiZZWUOtL3SofnfjHCRGEoku5imqOFRcTTVZrZs1LlTf8A24IhjpBAB5SSk3EM+DcOVPFVURIU1rqU68sHIyn4lfcOP7t+GcCVSrlDxZW3Ln+sIFrdmsWzg7EVIpC14QpVKfp002SHXZh1ClvLFrk2NySNRpa21tI7FavQ8zlti5DJRaLT8J0z0XRk3dVYzU2bZ3Vdp89NhG0AJNhoLRsSkBIAjw7oL9Wsb4RUVoiHbbK2WrOCqHLLmIKUqcvKTudx0BIKwu2pAII+V4lcQPBmRWu+w07ztFaVdicdTaWU5ruLbw/k0W00YmLyRc32RYlbxJWC2xUMPLlH2GHAt5JRo8LEFCj7yDqCDte3dHtnEVJxxT5mlZnpCoqbORDyCk5iNR1K8D26cIPkm6RJy9Tl5jMlQdbcFz1gj/jFgibOxWfOMjq16oZZkcUnBrsVlR5udlZioSFXWUuyTgbVziLb7EK2N+rhlB1vpIrn5cpIS+3t8QidxutT1LYQFEgvg/6VQlKllAXCFHrNocslwWjG04kMiPJ2GKluBaFqB0UomJNtRASptZQtJzJUOBiBoq8kqQq4y6G8S7arAX6o19JpNEyyLrm19o4uULCKMb0n0vSmkor0mnI8ynTpCRw7+KT3pPZQD7a2lFLja0KSbEKSQR5x9HGsChL9JqKubbFnUJI9on4RcgX6r2142vC/XqXJcorD9WolMmpV5LnNPdIyWcVYG6cqyOIufxiTkVcc9EWMa7lhq+6KIJvBDDiPCVWoTn6bKLQ2dljURmEGgmZTlXr8o0G2JanpSP2HP/cQ9UxnP1TEkrX3mJZmdl8oJl0qSHAn4rk8PV7oWoIAPq6lT7NUpstPSyszT7aVpPeI2OnSKx5Eq/zsnM0N9frs+2Yud0H3h4HXxiyphWkUKnuSZAyIcc3EQOUmszdNlJV2WabdbDmVwLvobaHTx84SpflBnGP7MkV9qs31hux2302mTjO6gnMnvGv3RT/CPOVDZNP2UsGxurb6HNfKLU1q9jKyzBP92pQv848/yiVkHLkTfscX9YTo6+kkqS4lKULKQklAtsLX7zxjMbGx1ZxriFxI56SYKb3/AEl4i3go3gmcc1DIpJlKUbA3yqc+/SEguKPGNaiTftg0QbpItDBFbmasmZW+y00nOlKQ3fXr3hzQvTWEDAKOaZUBoAkecPCFgC5Olos0R0qSIeVJyubEjlarGWTl6U2dXTzrvcNh5xnCvK3L4coEnSWMNhxMuiynOnZS4om6lW5s2uSe6EPFVU9L1yamwq7ZVla+wNB9fGIiI9899jZXor461Etuf5YKdUWi3OYSQ4k7hU4D4/q94zFRwQkcEEEZgAlMMVhyh1yUqDZNmljOB/SQdFDyj6PXMIflkvNKCkOJCkkcQY+XIuXkvr3T8PKpzq7vyPqi/Fs+75beEa8SX+tpPz6tYb19HRWj7ZQOytLRVs5RZlqbeQhN0JcUAesXi0K2Qlxa/gBV5bfO0KK1lSr8TG/LipaJiMNuKbQpuyD7R9dNo5gSg6w2vtc4SFC/ZEc5RgfdTaJ8qn9FCNvshQ5fqHaY6acyJiYSgkWJAuerjHS1Ss00tsmwSAe+JRmmtMFK8vrJ4jSORqkzsrEhhwirIopIIzJuREhjKqejMPTBQqzz3sm+87nwF4jsP3RNJubk6+YvC5yjVLpVWRJoPs5VOv21an5WihbZx0dO5PhVvyBSMYgjMRisYggggAIzBBAAQ4clqlDFCQCQFMOXF99oIIbR5I/orI8UvwdMSEhh+x4D+IQqp/WfnsggipkfInY3wNvExlEEEeBp5CEdKK8qcxQBmtruY2r9w+MEEcXYH3O6j/ztr7Kf4RFdVlRVVZwqJJL69T9owQQrL8cRmN5JHHBBBE82hBBBAB//2Q== | 49 | AI replacing workers | 2025-06-17 14:02:35 | null |

The number of unemployed IT workers rose from 98,000 in December to 152,000 last month, according to a report from consulting firm Janco Associates based on data from the U.S. Department of Labor.
The department on Friday said the economy added 143,000 jobs, as the job market continued to chug along, though at a slower pace than in the prior two months.
Job losses in tech can be attributed in part to the influence of AI, according to Victor Janulaitis, chief executive of Janco Associates. The emergence of generative AI has produced massive amounts of spending by tech giants on AI infrastructure, but not necessarily new jobs in IT.

“Jobs are being eliminated within the IT function which are routine and mundane, such as reporting, clerical administration,” Janulaitis said. “As they start looking at AI, they’re also looking at reducing the number of programmers, systems designers, hoping that AI is going to be able to provide them some value and have a good rate of return.”
Increased corporate investment in AI has shown early signs of leading to future cuts in hiring, a concept some tech leaders are starting to call “cost avoidance.” Rather than hiring new workers for tasks that can be more easily automated, some businesses are letting AI take on that work—and reaping potential savings.
The latest IT jobs numbers come as unemployment among white-collar workers remains at its highest levels since 2020, according to Cory Stahle, an economist at hiring website Indeed.
“What we’ve really seen, especially in the last year or so, is a bifurcation in opportunities, where white-collar knowledge worker type jobs have had far less employer demand than jobs that are more in-person, skilled labor jobs,” Stahle said.
New Indeed job postings in software development, for instance, declined 8.5% in January from a year earlier, but they are showing signs of stabilizing after drastic job cuts in the tech sector in 2023, Stahle added.

In Santa Clara, Calif., Netskope is hiring for several technical roles, including data engineers, data analytics and cloud operations engineers, said Mike Anderson, the cloud security company’s chief digital and information officer.
Forming new product teams in IT required additional hires, and Netskope is “making investments to drive productivity across the business,” Anderson said.
Another reason for January’s tech job losses was that companies began implementing some intended spending cuts for this year, Janulaitis said, and many slashed budgets based on what the economy looked like during fiscal planning last year.
Layoffs have also continued at some large tech companies. Last month, Meta Platforms said it would cut 5% of its workforce in performance-based job cuts in the U.S., and on Wednesday enterprise software giant Workday said it would cut about 8.5% of its workforce. | 4 months ago | WSJ | data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBwgHBgkIBwgKCgkLDRYPDQwMDRsUFRAWIB0iIiAdHx8kKDQsJCYxJx8fLT0tMTU3Ojo6Iys/RD84QzQ5OjcBCgoKDQwNGg8PGjclHyU3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3N//AABEIAEIAdwMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAcAAABBQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAMEBQcCAQj/xAA6EAACAQMCBAQCBwYHAQAAAAABAgMABBEFIQYSMUETIlFhFHEHIzKBkaGxFSTBwtHhM1NUYpKishb/xAAaAQACAwEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQIDBQQG/8QAJBEAAgIBAwQCAwAAAAAAAAAAAAECEQMhMUESMlFxBBMUM7H/2gAMAwEAAhEDEQA/ADpmoBPG8ya3dJM9vHZqzR28ZXzSMGK/a5hgbMd/Yb0cSN2r531+8SbXr2eW3jMMtxIQEHJsGI/Hv8zTVJqxp6M0zX9fl1O4t4dNdo5UjcSRibBLnGApH2m22770Otqt6t9afvd3O+TyouWbnzgKckDB233xnpmjXgGW0i4Uc3k+lW7xxABnKmZW5BksTsR3A9NqpOHtJOu3Hx808EE4DEiOczMrEuCxV98jAwPka1FmwvE4OFJbezj+qbyKSZc6JqOqpqSQarDamzuQTBPBOJBE+x8JmXbmwds4zjvRtbDlxWbcN6lcaxOf2rdrNplygj8MgATHmHL8iOxBzmtJiO9ZKyfY3pVHbPH0D0kscETyzSKkcalndjgKBuSTVBpPG+laprLaZbswclhE7YxIRucDqP7U9xixPC+qRqkjF7dgDGCSp7bDfHr/AE6YbwzeWuk69Z6vciZmicusMeMyNggLv03PXf5Um6ZOMIvG5cn0m0qRgM7ADp1oM4y4yvrFYLThy1S6vbiQIpZScA+g2GTkde1TeJLi8vdDt7nSVRJDyzKbjmRowR1x679DQ3w5DqOsahHqIjQ2/Pyi4UYGRsdv6d6lbIwjFq2aDbzTjTYJNSVIrkQq1wqbqr48wHtnNZtNrcOr6jcNLOiwSOPDBGAyjvn5Y9P4UU6/xCkE8+nBpLe4KApOycy4I6j1I9D39qG7fWNNs2i0e8sp7iO8UiTmKlnkJ64HQ532xjNOWiDE6ZJ4DCjiq9QBZeWMsJgOYBSemexO23tR3ql/Dplq1zcLOyAZ5YYWkcjboqjPeqLhLh9OHoJWkuS8kgHidht3Pqfesy46+kaTXbiPTtLaW303xMTtzYacc3r2XH670oqlQskuqVhfL9L2gicxpaagwGxYoi7/ACLUqzDUtV0n4IwWlmQiv5RyoR/y60qtfSuLK0m+TZ9e1KPSNLuNQljeVIQMrHuTkgAfiayW1uOGdbhnjurBdPvg7PF4bnDgnpk7Z9iPlVnp3Hmo694mmXdhaSG5+qUoxTGc7nmJG33VRcQcLXGlz5uJYZIlHnaOQMFJ6A+mcHfoaSUXF+STTVPg4k8UWgaPnYhuXxCNsknAJ6ZOKU7SW1vy211OnMv10SuyhX3yMd+29WelveQ6esYSSSxupUDRKQRM8bAhT1I3P596j63Hyl1mt/CnjJRuZOV+vRh7dK9FKEpKuEv4ZcZpe7JvCVpJxHqMH7UkmZLdvGCnKjmz19/7VtMbbZNZzwfq+mCSCx+LT4phgKdst1x6Z9q0GMkqMV52bTeio06lyc38cd3byW0qK8UqFXVhkMD1Bqv4a0PTtHg/dLSJZOYnxOQc2PTPXFWcgCoT3ry1H1a1WBC4g0u21ixa2vVZ4eYMVDEZI9cdRU3SoYrPTYLeBFjijXCqowBXdztCR60oF+pUUDAbjdb/AFXUIrDTrMh49zcysFQ5HQd6j8L8NX66nFdaoiwmEgkcwYtj0wenvRvfRAyK3cGuVyHyOlAyXdkvEyrnJU0B8O8C6LFevJfWa3JcnCSklVz6Cj4bpk1C5AlyCBjehiRCsuBeHbSYuNKhkCk+GJcyAZOT5Ttt0FeURhsgV7TsD521nh670LUJIbZlnUEFXGxI9COx+Roo4b1cwx20Op+KyQK3OII2kdM7kEjJxmrbVrVZryZ3GQTuKotQkksLYNEpchsBC2BjGO+3SnDJTCaqN+CLf6qLvUfCsFaGxtnd4Bkhsk5z18uN8AdMn1qFxKbi0m/eWaW4MiOxkJy5OG3zvU2QQJYRZbkmGSsaAFeVsHc5235vXPtiqmS6VdVs2s55bQCXyTHDNGcYzt7mt78iEfj1HRtPcy8cXkyqXovtP4M1C41GTVtMhWS1twsjyzeVUYAEkZ6+oxWtacrraRCZudwgDNjGTjrWfcK//R2FjqGlXOpo+n3KlIXA5pC5KjmBIyAFB67ZNH1pcQsDAsyPJGPOoYFh8x2615+uTWl4HbogrivJLq20+2Wa9njgjLBQ8jBRknAG9cS/aG9RdaMsumyRwiJjtlZk51YdSMe479vQ0hURLzi/SPibi3SZ5Y7dQZZ4Yy8aE9BzDY59qv4MGJSpypGQfWsC1uNW1m8FrMlvZz3fObXlKmMn7Q5fxx2xit20RYhpVt8MsixGMFBKxZsHfcnr1pJ6kpRpIV0N6aGNsmnL1+QVCikBeNCcu+wH3ZP6UNkUizjHkqNKCHBp9biEDHjRAjYjnGaiXV0q/YSWT3RdqYIsIWyopVAhu5CMLay/ep/pXlMfSwelhEjuSKp9Q09btltiQgc4yVz1okC9SetB+oXl2OLoLSMAwrFzheUEMd8ZHfoNqIRTkkxTn0xbKvV9CtbW0PwPi+MoRiWUAYYAjlAHzzmvYeGoJXsnZCS8MchwcYYqCenvVtcZlZSSCIZEjBHTYb/n/CrjT4gLe1J7Qov4DFdGeEsVKyj4+T7E2yZYW8du8YVAMdBQrNqgTi2W/wDh4YxC4TnRvPKAepwem2KK2lWKRQ7AEny52yeuPyoLvOErj9rte6HJE8cnM3hSPgI+ckKcdP0qvFJRlqWZIuUdDUpGBOK4kH1bfI01ZJci0iF7Ij3IUeI0Y8pPfFOX00dpYyzzMRFGhZyATgD2G5qokNafbxo5YRqGY7sFGT99XUbYWh7h/VLXU4PGs5Cyf7kKn8DV6JNsUAQdRfrn5VRT3hS5t5FZEJl8NTIcKCRnf2xU3VtQt47uKzklVbifmMaHqwXc1UPw7aahdM108/MxzlJMY+VVyvgthS1YP3zeNeTSsELSNzEqMDJplUA7flVxH9H12tw/ha0Vg5spzISx9iM/n39BUOaDwpXQrhlJBqcW61FJK9BheYdCfxpU5gD1pVKxBk32DQnbgH6RbDIH+E//AIkpUqlDuRXPtY5r4xpy4/yR/PVjoRJsI8nOMAZ7DApUqt+VuhYdit8WSTWbtHdmRXblUnIHlq30EAQwgDsx/wCxpUq4o9x3Zf1hRF0NN6kT8G+/alSqw5Bn6PlU6hewlQYvBJ5MeXOTvipj9D99KlT4HLcCtU3440vP+nn/AJaIoP8AHX7qVKovcki2TpQFq+2p3eP85v1pUqYiEaVKlTA//9k= | 2 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

Artificial intelligence could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and cause US unemployment to spike as high as 20%, according to the chief executive of a top AI company.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, whose firm built the “Claude” AI chatbot, warned that executives and politicians should stop “sugar-coating” the mass layoffs that could occur in fields like tech, finance and law and be honest with workers about the extent of the threat.
“Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen,” Amodei told Axios in a Wednesday interview. “It sounds crazy, and people just don’t believe it.”
Amodei expects the job market bloodbath to play out over the next one to five years. At the same time, he expects AI to provide massive benefits to the economy and fuel unprecedented advancements in medicine.
“Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced — and 20% of people don’t have jobs,” said Amodei, describing one potential scenario.
At present, the national unemployment rate stands at 4.2%.
Amodei’s latest warning came even as Anthropic competes in a breakneck race with other tech giants like Google, Meta and OpenAI to develop artificial general intelligence, or AGI – which describes an AI model with human-level cognitive capabilities or greater.
Amodei, who started Anthropic after previously working at OpenAI under its CEO Sam Altman, is one of several executives who have warned about impending upheaval in the job market.
Earlier this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussed how AI was taking on a bigger role in Meta’s workforce.
Entry-level white collar jobs could be hit hard by AI.

What do you think?
“Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of mid-level engineer that you have at your company that can write code,” Zuckerberg said during an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
Elsewhere, Google CEO Sundar Pichai warned in April 2023 that he expected “knowledge workers,” such as writers, accountants, architects and software engineers, to be hit hard by the rise of AI. | 3 weeks ago | New York Post | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 8 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

Recent college graduates are struggling to find jobs, with unemployment rates reaching a record high. The tech industry, which has historically been a major employer of recent graduates, is not hiring as many young adults as it has in years past. This has left many graduates searching for jobs in other industries, such as food service, accommodation, and wholesale trade. The rise of artificial intelligence and automation has also made it more difficult for young adults to find employment. | 6 days ago | WSBT | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 9 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is reshaping the corporate landscape, and a recent statement by billionaire investor Robert Smith has sent shockwaves through the business world. Speaking to a crowd of 5,500 at a convention, Smith boldly predicted that at least 60 percent of those in attendance would find themselves unemployed within the next year due to AI-driven automation.
Smith, a prominent figure in the investment community, isn’t alone in sounding the alarm. His comments reflect a broader narrative within the tech and financial sectors, where AI is increasingly seen as both a competitive edge and a threat to job security. The technology’s ability to automate complex tasks, from data analysis to decision-making, is already impacting roles that were once considered safe from mechanization.
The Scale of AI’s Disruption
As AI systems become more sophisticated, their reach extends beyond repetitive, low-skill jobs into white-collar professions. Analysts and industry leaders are grappling with the implications of this shift, particularly in sectors like finance, consulting, and technology, where high-paying managerial and analytical roles dominate. Smith’s prediction suggests a near-future where even these positions are at risk, with automation poised to replace human labor at an unprecedented scale.
A Call for Adaptation
For many organizations, the integration of AI is no longer optional but a matter of survival. Businesses that fail to leverage these tools risk falling behind competitors who can cut costs and boost efficiency through automation. However, this race to adopt AI often comes at the expense of human workers, as evidenced by Smith’s dire warning. The challenge lies in balancing technological innovation with workforce stability, a dilemma that policymakers and corporate leaders are only beginning to address.
Looking Ahead
The conversation around AI’s impact on employment is far from settled. While Robert Smith’s forecast serves as a wake-up call, it also prompts critical questions about the future of work. How can companies ethically integrate AI without sacrificing their workforce? What role will education and training play in preparing workers for an AI-dominated economy?
Ultimately, the path forward requires a nuanced approach—one that embraces the benefits of AI while safeguarding the livelihoods of those most vulnerable to its disruptions. As the technology continues to evolve, so too must our strategies for navigating its profound effects on the corporate world and beyond. | 4 days ago | WebProNews | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 10 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

The IT unemployment rate is now 5.7%.
The tech labor market is experiencing unemployment higher than average, and artificial intelligence is most likely to blame.
Consulting firm Janco Associates analyzed data from the U.S. Department of Labor and found that the number of unemployed IT workers increased by 54,000 from December 2024 to January 2025 — there were 98,000 unemployed IT workers in December compared to 152,000 in January.
The unemployment rate for tech workers increased from 3.9% in December to 5.7% in January, above the 4% average unemployment rate for all industries.
Is AI to Blame?
Victor Janulaitis, chief executive of Janco Associates, told the Wall Street Journal that rising unemployment in tech can be attributed to the growth of AI.
While tech giants like Meta and Microsoft are spending billions of dollars building AI infrastructure, they aren’t devoting the same amounts of capital to creating new IT jobs. Instead, they hope to replace human jobs with AI.
"Jobs are being eliminated within the IT function which are routine and mundane, such as reporting, clerical administration," Janulaitis told the Journal. "As [tech companies] start looking at AI, they’re also looking at reducing the number of programmers, systems designers, hoping that AI is going to be able to provide them some value and have a good rate of return."
As tech companies hope that AI will replace jobs and provide a good return on investment, they are decreasing their hiring efforts. Cory Stahle, an economist for the hiring platform Indeed, told the Journal that new Indeed job postings in software development dropped 8.5% in January compared to a year prior.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed last month in a conversation with Joe Rogan that Meta is working on AI that can write code and replace mid-level human engineers at the company. Meta is working towards having company code "built by AI engineers instead of people engineers," Zuckerberg said.
Major tech companies have also conducted layoffs in January. Amazon announced in January that it was laying off dozens of employees in its communications and sustainability departments while payment platform Stripe in the same month laid off 300 employees in product, engineering, and operations.

AI disrupting entry-level job market for college graduates: Report | https://www.newsnationnow.com/business/tech/ai/ai-job-market-college-graduates/ | Artificial intelligence is replacing roles in tech, data entry, customer service and fast food, according to a new report. | As artificial intelligence becomes more prevalent, many traditional entry-level jobs for recent college graduates are changing or being eliminated altogether.
A new report from SignalFire, a data-driven venture capital firm, suggests AI is responsible for a 25% decrease in the hiring of recent graduates by major tech companies, including Meta, Microsoft and Google.
Asher Bantock, SignalFire’s head of research, told TechCrunch the decline equated to thousands of fewer hires in 2024 than in 2023.
The report highlighted that hiring of recent graduates by big tech companies fell 25% last year and is down 50% compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Unemployment rate higher for new graduates
Oxford Economics determined that graduates — those aged 22 to 27 with a bachelor’s degree or higher — have contributed 12% to the 85% rise in the national unemployment rate since mid-2023.
Those graduates make up only 5% of the total workforce, meaning they’re contributing more than double their share to unemployment statistics.
Recent graduates also have a nearly 6% unemployment rate, beating out the national unemployment rate of 4.2%.
Recent college graduates increasingly unemployed, research finds
Experts believe AI is a major reason many are struggling to find jobs.
Dario Amodei, CEO of AI startup Anthropic, warned Axios that AI could eliminate up to half of all entry-level white-collar jobs, potentially increasing unemployment by 10% to 20%.
Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer, suggested in a New York Times op-ed that the “bottom rung” of the career ladder is breaking.
“In tech, advanced coding tools are creeping into the tasks of writing simple code and debugging — the ways junior developers gain experience,” he wrote. “In law firms, junior paralegals and first-year associates who once cut their teeth on document review are handing weeks of work over to AI tools to complete in a matter of hours.”
Where has AI replaced entry-level jobs?
AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants are taking over customer service and support roles. Data entry and processing roles are being automated. Even retail inventory management and fast-food drive-thrus at fast-food chains like Taco Bell and Wendy’s are now using AI-powered voice assistants.
Scott Baradell, spokesperson for media company LaborStrong, compared this shift to the automation wave that hit blue-collar manufacturing jobs in the 1980s.
Thousands of classmates’ deepfakes found in student’s dorm: Police
“You could think of it as the white-collar version of what happened to many blue-collar manufacturing jobs back in, starting in the ’80s and onward with robots and things taking over those kinds of assembly-line jobs that people had long counted on,” he said. “Then, many people thought, ‘Oh, they won’t be able to take all these jobs and automate them’ — and they did.”
Unions move to block job-killing AI
Despite these changes, some jobs likely remain beyond AI’s reach and are in high demand. Airline pilots and air traffic control operators, for example, require human judgment and experience that AI can’t replicate.
To protect their roles, some workers are turning to unions. Last year, the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA demanded protections to ensure AI wouldn’t replace their jobs, and dockworkers on the East and Gulf coasts called for a complete ban on port automation.
Experts have advised that if recent graduates can’t find an entry-level position in their desired field, they should consider starting in related roles to build skills and transition once they have more experience.

A new sign that AI is competing with college grads
By Derek Thompson
April 30, 2025
Something strange, and potentially alarming, is happening to the job market for young, educated workers.
According to the New York Federal Reserve, labor conditions for recent college graduates have “deteriorated noticeably” in the past few months, and the unemployment rate now stands at an unusually high 5.8 percent. Even newly minted M.B.A.s from elite programs are struggling to find work. Meanwhile, law-school applications are surging—an ominous echo of when young people used graduate school to bunker down during the great financial crisis.
What’s going on? I see three plausible explanations, and each might be a little bit true.
The first theory is that the labor market for young people never fully recovered from the coronavirus pandemic—or even, arguably, from the Great Recession. “Young people are having a harder time finding a job than they used to, and it’s been going on for a while, at least 10 years,” David Deming, an economist at Harvard, told me. The Great Recession led not only to mass layoffs but also to hiring freezes at many employers, and caused particular hardships for young people. After unemployment peaked in 2009, the labor market took time to heal, improving slowly until the pandemic shattered that progress. And just when a tech boom seemed around the corner, inflation roared back, leading the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates and cool demand across the economy. White-collar industries—especially technology—were among the hardest hit. The number of job openings in software development and IT operations plunged. The share of jobs posted on Indeed in software programming has declined by more than 50 percent since 2022. For new grads hoping to start a career in tech, consulting, or finance, the market simply isn’t that strong. | 1 month ago | The Atlantic | data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBwgHBgkIBwgKCgkLDRYPDQwMDRsUFRAWIB0iIiAdHx8kKDQsJCYxJx8fLT0tMTU3Ojo6Iys/RD84QzQ5OjcBCgoKDQwNGg8PGjclHyU3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3N//AABEIAEwAdwMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAcAAEAAgIDAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAABgcEBQECAwj/xAA2EAABAwMCAwUGBgEFAAAAAAABAAIDBAUREiEGMVETQWFxgQciMpGhsRUjM3LB8BQkQlKS0f/EABoBAAEFAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAgMEBQb/xAAoEQACAgIBAwMDBQAAAAAAAAAAAQIDBBESBSExE1GxQaHBI0JhcZH/2gAMAwEAAhEDEQA/ALdREUIoREQByqN4cY64+1ComOT+fJIf+yua5VbaWnJLsPcCG+Hiqur22q2F4oKCN0pP5krhrcSepPMqld1Gumz00m5E1dEprkbT2vyAUUTARk92VSh+PZW8bMyZjZuwaS4A7MAxt5KPXUPo5XMNIHY5e405UdXVYzfGMfuPeK0t7I/Y9w8eC3HDEhh4qt7wDtUMP1W5ZwxcH2xlW6lp+2ILnU+gCQN7vXwWJaY6L/KZLJC+CaJ3uvaSNLh1adinx6rVLfbx7DXjSRbfFw1cK3pvPVQzN88sI/lbSP8ATb5BRjji4sdwVWTQlxNQ0Rs0nByTv9AVvLNOKm0UUw1e/AwnUcnOBnPitRLlixtj4bfwit4m0zMREUI4IiIAIiIAIi5QwITxZVmSZ7Gu3z2bN+Wcgn5ZK19BaaeSm7KSEOjcDs7c4Jz88rWcc3Z9vqqbRCZtT2l7QcEg5zj0aR6raWHiCkuDAyOGoinBDTFKwZ5ZznOMLjLlc6vWX7ns14cd8fYzKeiq7fEI6OszC34Y549ePAEEHCxxTSm5RVc0VGS12XPaxzXH6ld+I7tPare+qjpGzNZu/MhGkdeSr+p9p1bG/a2UvZkkA9se70TMXGysmLlBL7C2WQr7Mtlj2vHukKMcS0FIa2OTZr58ggHBLgOfyWhoeM6m6RxxQU0TJZTg4lx2fPf6cu9deKxUwPpKntjn9Rozkam5++4TqMGym5Rm9NiStjOO0bG4zgcOS0eoGJsrHAE8gctP3Vk8ONkbYaETACTsRqA7j0VZ3UsbaJpmBp1aHAHkRzVo2YAWegAOf9NHv190brssCbl0yKf0m/hGXev12/4RmIiJwwIiIAIiIALh2zT5LldZf0n/ALSmzeotiryUn7Se2/EoRCXB5Y0sLeoD/wD0L09lra5zpKiemkNO7IbVOcCHOzggd55Fb3iqgZVTQzSAjsXEFwGcAtxn0OD6JwVRT2811LI5n+K57XMY13wPIGrHgdj5+a5R3xfTuC86NRQfrbJRURmWJzGadRGBqbqHy71UV4tdpmro55KqFkEMr3SMhw7Xh52wPh7vRWdfbzRWKhFTcpjHC53ZhwaXbnlyVP2yrtUtfSw1eiVsfaCU9vr7XPwgDSOXTJ2S9GqsUJ2LevnzsTJlHaRPOB7Ba3QvuNPThjJXao2jlju+n8rni+np5ayKLGzGPc8dAGOcsC1X+SmoY3W/DaNzcxRkAFrckZx0WTSPN3riXgkyfH0DAc/UgDy1JJQtWQ7bH2QqceHFEg4co4nzQwVULJGBjWuY9uR0U8YxsbGsjaGsaNLWgYAA7lDbMQLmzHeR9wpotPotjlCafv8Agq5aSaOERFtFQIiIAIiIALpP+hJ+w/Zd141r2x0srnf8SFFkNRqk37MdBbkiDXCctqnN7MkBw3xt3L0pIzTxyCB7XHGYmPdgN8M9M/L6LT3y4VEVTIaeNz2490t3yc9PRYn4i9zSH0kxJbv7jtt/2rjoY85VrRrOaTIJxvW3r8QkF2mil1sbinGXMYPDbAwR1z5qIwyvjnEoGXA5xjZWhUVtJLJK+qpHg53DwMDfuyAvSnrKHDg2i1HGDsOvkulqynVWoqv/ADRRlVylvZg8A0lbc4CK2WFtt0jSHH32EH/bnlndWHDTUlvjLacMY3VkjVkk4UbpqxhDhDby8ebuvLZiyzLUiGSWKk0uDhsQTnbHfhYuZzusbfZexaqSjHXk3Nkqw+6NaGOB6keIU/VQ8MVNQOIBJWM7NunAdjbORt57K3QQ4AjkdwtLpUPTlOP9fkrZT5JMIiLZKgREQAREQAWs4jOLW/JIy4bhbNR7jupkpLAZIgCTMxuHdDlVs1OWPJIkqepoom6325UdTIG1TZGtOkB7eQ/uV3oOPKumGaholaNmiJ2k9e/Kj/EMhNe9pxvnK1ekaPVEcSmcFzihztkpdmTys9pEkzAG0T89Xy5+wWG/j6ods2hibvn4zuog8YOyNAz/AHqlWBjRXaPyHr2P6lo0XtVlLND7LDsNiyYjvxy0ryuHtHuVXTPjZSU1OyRpGfecfnn+FA7eMvaOuFnva3sgMD4sfyqr6fiRntQJFdY15MmhuNxuV3gNXWO0mQE6dh8gvpe3HNBT75/LAyvmC2u0XCEgDZw5hfTVjcX2ejeeboWuPqporWQtLS0/lEcnuHf3M1ERXCEIiIA//9k= | 16 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

Federal labor data showed joblessness in the technology sector up to 5.7% in January, compared to 3.9% this past December, surpassing the overall national unemployment rate of 4%.
The number of unemployed information technology workers rose from 98,000 in December 2024 to 152,000 in January 2025, recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows. Some see artificial intelligence already having an impact on the IT job market.
WHY IT MATTERS
While the Department of Labor announced Friday that the United States added a net total of 143,000 jobs nationwide to start the new year, it also found that "routine and mundane" jobs in the tech sector saw AI replace more people, Victor Janulaitis, chief executive of Janco Associates, told The Wall Street Journal.
The increase in spending by leading technology companies to develop generative AI to replace clerical and administrative tasks enables their clients to decrease labor costs in these areas.
The firm's latest data forecast considered opening versus filled jobs for IT professionals and is current through February 2025, the firm said on its employment data reporting website page under the briefing, noting the IT job market shrank for the second year in a row.
There are approximately 152,000 unemployed IT professionals, and the IT job market shrank by more than 171,000 jobs over the previous 24 months, representing flattened growth, the firm said.
Based on its data and forecast models, it does not anticipate growth in the IT job market in 2025.
THE LARGER TREND
The health sector has seen its share of technology-driven corporate layoffs. Last May, Highmark let 98 people go at enGen, an information technology subsidiary providing back-office claims management and other administrative functions, citing improved operational efficiencies.
"We are focused on building the workforce of the future, which requires identifying talent gaps, investing in in-demand roles, such as nursing, and adapting technologies, such as AI, to better anticipate demand and drive value for consumers," Highmark said in a statement at the time. "We are also looking for opportunities to transition/centralize/shift work that enables our employees to leverage their skill sets and work at the top of their license."
But in other areas of healthcare, the opposite problem – knowledgeable tech worker shortages – has posed challenges. Software engineers and developers, data analysts and scientists, and security IT professionals roles are all in high demand.
At the close of 2020, executives from leading health IT vendors cited several pressing challenges and opportunities requiring tech resources to support care delivery and operations.
There's also a shortage of cybersecurity talent, which has only become a bigger concern with each passing year.
Recognizing the dearth of cybersecurity talent in the U.S., the Department of Defense released an implementation plan for a federal cyber workforce strategy with a five-year horizon in 2023. The plan detailed the agency's then shift away from its focus on the infosec skills acquired before hiring and pivoted to evaluating critical candidate capabilities that could be utilized.
As healthcare organizations pay millions to recover from ransomware and other cyber attacks, they are actively looking to get "butts in seats" – and have them leverage AI security tools – to shore up their cyber defenses.
ON THE RECORD
"As they start looking at AI, they’re also looking at reducing the number of programmers, systems designers, hoping that AI is going to be able to provide them some value and have a good rate of return," Janulaitis told WSJ, speaking of businesses' hiring practices in general.

The college class of 2025 is entering one of the most challenging job markets in years, with the unemployment rate the first three months for recent graduates jumping to 5.8%. One challenge they're facing is artificial intelligence, which is increasingly doing tasks usually assigned to entry-level workers. Aneesh Raman, chief economic opportunity officer at LinkedIn, joins John Yang to discuss.
The college class of 2025 is entering one of the most challenging job markets in years. The first three months of the year, the unemployment rate for recent college grads jumped to 5.8 percent. That’s the highest it’s been since 2021 and well above the overall unemployment rate.
One of the challenges they’re facing is artificial intelligence, which is increasingly doing tasks that used to be assigned to entry level workers.
Aneesh Raman is chief Economic opportunity officer at LinkedIn. He wrote a New York Times op-ed headlined I see the bottom rung of the career ladder breaking. Aneesh, what do you mean by that? The bottom rung of the career ladder breaking?
I wrote this piece because entry level jobs that first rung on the career ladder are breaking down a bit. And I think we all should be talking about that more. What we’re seeing right now for new grads is sort of this perfect storm. Between the uncertainty in the macro environment and the disruption, we are starting to see more and more day by day from AI taking on more tasks of entry level work.
Those are tasks like reviewing documents if you’re at a law firm, debugging code, if you’re at a tech company handling basic customer service. Across so many sectors, those tasks are going to AI. And so together that with the macro uncertainty is creating, as you said, one of the most challenging job markets for young people in decades.
Are there consequences of someone who has a hard time trying to find that first job in their chosen field?
Huge consequences. I mean, all of us who aren’t in our first job now can go back to our first job and think about the lessons you learned, the mentorship you gained, just being able to understand how worked at the place you were at and how you could think about what that next job was.
We also know in terms of economic mobility that the effects of a stalled out career at the start can last for decades. Lower lifetime earnings. But also companies, as long as they’re going to need humans leading these companies in the future, they’re going to risk losing that pipeline if they don’t reimagine entry level work, increase the value of the tasks that entry level workers are doing and help them on a new journey, a new career path.
Reimagining entry level work. Talk about that. How can entry level work be fixed?
Yeah, we talked about a couple of examples in the piece. KPMG is now giving new grads higher level tax work that used to go to people that had, I think two or three years worth of experience because AI is handling a lot of the grunt work.
McFarland’s this law firm in the UK, they’re training early career lawyers on complex contract interpretation, not just basic document review. If you think about it, a lot of entry level jobs are basic jobs with basic tasks. All we need to do on the employer side is up level the tasks that we give entry level workers and be more deliberately appreciative of the know how they bring.
This generation is incredibly resilient and adaptive. They know AI tools and technology better than probably any other generation. Educators also have to adapt.
And so we also talk about American University, the business school in DC, but also community colleges across the country who are helping students learn more and more AI fluency, AI proficiency. And that just basically means what are these AI tools? How do they help me do the job I’m doing and what does it mean for this sort of up leveling of that job?
We’ve got to have that baked into all education everywhere and then help people understand what is that new type of work they want to do as they go into the workplace.
What’s your advice to members of the class of ’25 who are looking for their first jobs now?
Careers are no longer ladders that are predictable and where you have to have the right pedigree signal the right degree from the right university, the right job title at the right employer, the right network that we know for a lot of socioeconomic reasons, people don’t have those right signals. That’s no longer the path up.
The path up is more like a climbing wall. 70 percent of the skills for the average job according to our data will have changed by 2030. So you don’t need to have a five or 10 year plan, you just need to have a today plan. And you’re going to have, according to our data, twice as many jobs than professionals did 15 years ago. So there’s only one thing. Be a learn it all.
Become really fluent in AI and the tools and become really fluent in yourself, your story of self professionally. What are the skills that you have that you want to hone, that the world needs? What’s the curiosity that’s going to drive expertise that’s going to increase the value of the work you do, just be curious and you’re going to be okay.
And someone who can’t get a job in their chosen field shouldn’t worry. They shouldn’t think, well, I’m not going to get what I want.
Well, I know it’s never helpful to say, don’t worry when you’re worried about not having a job. And so, you know, for all sorts of just economic dignity, agency reasons, people need a paycheck, they need a job. So you got to find that job. And all of that is starting to change. People can use AI tools to help find the job that’s a better fit, to help explain their fit better, we know that recruiters are increasingly filtering for things like skills, not just those pedigree signals.
So just figure out how each day you’re learning more, you’re growing more, and you’re going to learn and grow in part by trying to get a job that you don’t get and figuring out why, trying to go for a job you wouldn’t have gone for otherwise in terms of a career or a sector that you wouldn’t have thought is one that you want to be in. You’re going to learn a lot through your failures, and so you just get accustomed to that as you go through this.

Economic uncertainty and the race to AI are pillaging the IT job market

The IT job market in the US is being hit from two sides at once: Companies are grappling with fears of a recession stemming from the Trump administration's erratic tariff policy, while AI is increasingly mopping up entry-level jobs.
The latest look at Bureau of Labor Statistics data by IT management consulting firm Janco found that the unemployment rate for IT professionals spiked by nearly a full percentage point last month, rising from 4.6 percent in April to 5.5 percent in May. It's the fifth month in a row that the IT unemployment rate has exceeded the national average.
Most open IT positions, Janco noted in the report, involve large language models, blockchain technology, and omnichannel commerce. Outside of those areas, it's slim pickings.
"IT opportunities for IT pros will be poor except for AI implementations, which focus on improved productivity and staff reductions," Janco stated.
Most job losses are in the telecommunications sector and in roles related to reporting, monitoring, and support. The hardest hit will be IT pros with "legacy" skills in smaller markets like Nashville and Tulsa, while pros in bigger locations like New York and Dallas will have an easier time.
As has been the case in recent months, Janco believes AI is responsible for the elimination of many entry-level IT positions, particularly in telecoms, as well as in compliance reporting and management.
"Companies do not have the desire to hire new staff to meet mandated compliance requirements," Janco CEO Victor Janulaitis wrote in the report. "Ergo, they are focusing on AI to automate as many of those tasks as possible, especially for reporting and monitoring."
In other words, managers see these jobs as a perfect fit for the AI buzzword of the moment: Agents
They took our jobs: Agentic AI finally knocks the mask off
Agents are narrowly tailored AI applications programmed to make independent decisions toward a particular goal – like a workflow on LLM-infused steroids.
According to Big Four accounting firm EY, agents herald the next step in the evolution of enterprise AI and are rapidly gaining mindshare among business leaders looking for a way to get a return on their AI investments.
In survey results released last month, EY found that 48 percent of business leaders were adopting, or had already adopted, agentic AI in their organizations. A full 81 percent of respondents expressed optimism about AI's potential to help them meet their goals in the next year, and 92 percent said they expect to increase their AI spending in the next 12 months.
"Our survey shows reaffirmations in ambitious AI spending and a move from pilots to production," EY noted. "That said, despite the optimism they're feeling, there's still tremendous pressure for these technology leaders to demonstrate return on investment now through measurement and tangible top-line and bottom-line results."
EY reports that the workplace impact of agentic AI adoption will be "mixed," with most respondents saying they would need to hire people with AI management skills, while also admitting that "a rebalancing of the workforce is still happening."
Indeed, employer job postings related to AI are up 117 percent year to date, CompTIA noted in its latest jobs report for the month.
Meanwhile, Janco predicts that the slowdown will continue throughout the year due to economic uncertainty, and is predicting the third consecutive year of overall IT job shrinkage. In other words, if you're considering a career in IT, you'd better know how to babysit bots. | 1 week ago | The Register | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 21 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |
Why AI will not lead to technological unemployment | https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/08/why-ai-will-not-lead-to-a-world-without-work/ | Pundits argue we're now drifting towards a “world without work” where machines produce all things and algorithms provide all services. | Why AI will not lead to a world without work
The World Economic Forum
August 2024
The impact of artificial intelligence on the job market has been a topic of intense debate in recent years. While some experts predict that AI will automate many jobs, leading to widespread unemployment, others argue that it will create new opportunities and augment human capabilities.
In this article, we will explore the reasons why AI is unlikely to lead to a world without work. We will examine the current state of AI technology, its limitations, and the potential benefits it can bring to the workforce.
One of the main reasons why AI is unlikely to replace human workers entirely is that many jobs require skills and abilities that are uniquely human. Creativity, empathy, and problem-solving are just a few examples of the skills that are difficult to replicate with machines.
Moreover, while AI can automate routine and repetitive tasks, it is not yet capable of performing complex tasks that require human judgment and decision-making. For instance, AI systems can analyze large amounts of data, but they are not yet able to interpret the results in the same way that a human expert can.
Another reason why AI is unlikely to lead to a world without work is that it will create new job opportunities in fields such as AI development, deployment, and maintenance. As AI becomes more pervasive, there will be a growing need for professionals who can design, implement, and troubleshoot AI systems.
Furthermore, AI can augment human capabilities, making workers more productive and efficient. For example, AI-powered tools can help doctors diagnose diseases more accurately, or assist lawyers in researching and analyzing legal documents.
In conclusion, while AI will certainly change the nature of work, it is unlikely to lead to a world without work. By understanding the limitations and potential benefits of AI, we can work towards creating a future where humans and machines collaborate to create a more productive and efficient workforce.

IT unemployment rose nearly a half percentage point in February to 3.3%, the highest it's been since August 2024, according to a CompTIA review of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data published Friday. The national unemployment rate also rose last month, reaching 4.1%.
Employers added an estimated 177,000 tech positions across all industries last month, according to CompTIA data. Nearly a half million job postings for technology roles remain active.
"Unusual swings in the tech unemployment rate are rarely attributed to a single factor, but rather, a combination of interrelated factors," said Tim Herbert, chief research officer at CompTIA, in an email. "For the recent month’s increase, there is undoubtedly a market turmoil effect. With many companies taking a wait-and-see approach with uncertainty, increases in hiring pauses could leave potential tech hires waiting."
CIOs are tracking shifts in the tech talent market, with modernization plans hinging on the ability to secure necessary skills. An undersupply of high-demand skills, including AI and data science, is shaping enterprise talent strategies.
IT unemployment rose again in February. National unemployment rates compared to those in IT occupations. AI is also affecting how employers approach overall hiring. Active job listings that reference AI skills more than doubled year over year in February, CompTIA found. Demand for dedicated AI roles also jumped 79% year over year last month.
Generative AI job postings, although still a small sliver of the overall tech job market, nearly tripled year-over-year. The technology is giving way to a rise in management consulting roles, which Indeed attributed in part to the need for more support in enterprise adoption.
Companies continue to hone their 2025 technology strategies while leaders grapple with uncertainty regarding the optimal mix of job roles and skills, Herbert said.
"AI hiring continues to ramp up, but that is only one of many moving parts CIOs must balance," Herbert said. "Skills gaps, shortages and mismatches will be a factor in some portion of layoffs and the pace of rehires."
As organizations compete for high–demand tech talent, CIOs are turning their attention to upskilling and reskilling efforts. | 3 months ago | CIO Dive | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 23 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

The age of artificial intelligence has been full of predictions of mass technology-driven unemployment. A 2013 report by the Oxford Future of Humanity Institute posited that nearly half of U.S. employment at the time was “potentially automatable” over the next “decade or two.” A decade later, however, there were 17 million more jobs in the U.S.
The advance of generative AI has unsurprisingly breathed new life into such alarmist projections. The IMF recently declared 40% of jobs are “exposed” globally; Goldman Sachs put 300 million jobs at risk of being “lost or degraded” and the Pew Research Center estimated that 19% of U.S. workers have jobs in the “most exposed to AI” category.
Are we on the cusp of a global employment apocalypse? Anxieties about “technological unemployment,” as John Maynard Keynes dubbed it in 1930, go way back. In the 1960s these fears led the U.S. government to convene a Commission on Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress, chaired by the eminent economist Robert Solow. Contrary to much fearmongering at the dawn of the IT revolution, the Commission concluded that “[t]echnology eliminates jobs, but not work.” So far, the facts have corroborated that thesis: The U.S. economy had 2.7 times as many jobs in 2024 as it did in 1964—with higher labor force participation, lower unemployment, and three times more output per hour worked. Over the last half-century, technological change didn’t eliminate work—it changed it.
But will this also be the case in the new age of AI? Nobody knows for certain. There are still too many unknowns to take forecasts of employment doom too seriously. Dissecting today’s “employment exposure” studies helps reveal the true extent of those uncertainties in the age of AI. Those uncertainties are the pace, extent, and depth of business adoption; the effect of higher labor productivity on the demand for services; and the timing and geographic distribution of potential job losses.
The gulf between ‘exposure’ and actual displacement
Estimates of “employment exposure” tend to adhere to the following logic. First, determine the tasks that can be automated with a given technology; then identify occupations that include those automatable tasks before, finally, calculating the sum of all jobs in occupations that reach a predefined threshold of automatability. This line of reasoning appears plausible enough—until one takes notice of the complete neglect of the microeconomics of the firm as the crucial link between the potential of any technology and its actual economic impact.
Technology adoption is neither free nor frictionless: There must always be a business case for technological change. This fact reveals, at the outset, a gap between the levels of automation that are technologically possible and the degree of automation that is economically rational for firms to pursue.
In one of the most compelling empirical studies of this all-important gap, a group of MIT economists recently estimated that while 36% of U.S. private sector jobs were technically “exposed” to automation through computer vision, it would only make economic sense for firms to pursue automation for 8% of all private sector jobs—just a quarter of those jobs labelled “exposed.” Three quarters of the “exposure” estimate turn out to be illusory once the logic of firm-level decision making is considered, exposing the flawed logic of overly simplistic, “micro-to-macro” extrapolations.
When firms evaluate the potential returns of technological adoption, they look closely at two interrelated factors: the cost of labor and the competitive environment. The more competition they face, and the more limited the access to qualified labor—due to cost or labor market tightness—the stronger the business case for tech investments. But these factors can vary dramatically from one country to the next. Failing to consider the firm often leads forecasters to apply identical extrapolations across national economies. Even in settings with comparable labor costs, however, a firm’s propensity to automate may be constrained by other rigidities specific to individual labor markets, like legal regimes that make job cuts difficult, as can be the case in Europe.
Putting the firm back at the center of analysis means that one should be cautious about interpreting evidence of individual workers’ generative AI adoption, as it doesn’t directly speak to the extent to which businesses have embarked upon the difficult task of reinventing themselves around the technology. “Automating processes with software is HARD,” in the words of Steven Sinofsky, former president of the Windows division at Microsoft. Widespread use of genAI by individual workers may have some positive productivity effects, but workers don’t create or eliminate their own jobs, their employer does. That’s why the prospects of lower employment need to be assessed against patterns of institutional adoption by employers.
The mystery of price elasticity of demand
Suppose it were true that frighteningly large numbers of jobs were at real risk of automation. In that scenario, we would expect considerable increases in labor productivity and hence lower cost, lower prices, and, as we have argued elsewhere, a boost to consumers’ real incomes. Yet contrary to the “job exposure” narratives, sectors with higher rates of automation won’t necessarily experience imminent declines in employment. In fact, they can come to employ more people for long periods of time as they become less employment-intensive.
Economist James Bessen studied this phenomenon—which he describes as the “inverted U pattern”—in U.S. manufacturing between the early 1800s and the 2010s. In areas such as textile, iron and steel, and motor vehicle production, automating technologies led to steep increases in labor productivity. But instead of shedding jobs, sectoral employment grew for decades—because higher productivity translated into price declines that boosted demand. Faced with considerably lower prices, consumers spent so much more on clothes and cars that, while requiring fewer workers on a per-unit basis, manufacturers actually employed more laborers in aggregate.
This pattern points to one of the most important and elusive questions concerning the labor effects of generative AI. We’ve argued before that the novelty of generative AI lies in its ability to increase white collar workers’ productivity by automating tasks that are often non-routine and closer to the creative “core” of knowledge work. It should then be expected to reduce the cost and price for sizeable segments of the service sector. What we don’t know is how price-elastic demand for many services is, which makes it nearly impossible to predict the net employment effects. If the average cost of legal services, for example, were to decrease by a factor of 10 thanks to genAI-powered automation of legal research, summarization, and drafting, how much more demand for such services would there be as a result? Might this and similar sectors go through their own “inverted U pattern” of employment where labor productivity increases but so does employment?
It is understandable that most “job exposure” studies don’t even attempt to estimate how demand will respond to the assimilation of generative AI into numerous occupations. But that’s why it’s best to understand these studies for what they truly are: the theoretical upper limit of automation-driven labor productivity increases. These extrapolations are made without regard for if, when, or how firms realize that productivity potential, and with incomplete information on the interaction between changing prices and demand necessary to assess net employment effects.
Not whether, but when and how
Of course, there is no denying that numerous occupations will shrink over time as AI adoption progresses. There are already signs of a decline in the hiring of software developers in the U.S., which many attribute to genAI’s coding proficiency. But, again, this is not a new economic phenomenon: Economies dynamically shed and create occupations all the time. The sort of “end state” picture that exposure studies paint does not tell us what matters most: where and at what pace the change in employment will occur. To borrow Robert Solow’s expression, what’s needed is a compass to navigate the “elusive macroeconomics of the medium run.”
Focusing on the dynamics of change is all the more necessary when technology itself is a moving target. The sheer pace of AI development makes it nearly impossible to pin down how much its present state can or cannot automate—before that state of play is no longer relevant. That makes it even more urgent to understand the depth, and not just breadth, of business adoption. The 2024 American Business Survey presented a sobering statistic: Only 5% of all U.S. companies use AI for the production of goods and services. While the figures are considerably higher among larger corporations, we still don’t know how many have really moved beyond tests, pilots, and local deployment to undertake end-to-end process redesign, let alone business model reinvention.
None of this is to say that workers and business leaders should be complacent. Businesses that reinvent themselves with AI will get ahead of competitors, and workers who understand the changing landscape of critical skills will be most adaptable as the technology continues to evolve. The focus on aggregate “employment exposure” is a distraction from the more pressing questions of which specific occupations face imminent disruption (and where and how quickly) and how firms are adapting to the new technological potential within their reach.
Back to the lessons from recent history: We know that economies are remarkably creative over the long run, that new occupations have never ceased to emerge, and that forecasters tend to get things wrong when attempting to prognosticate what work will look like on the other side of a major technological transformation. AI may be an entirely different ballgame, and perhaps this time around the forecasters of “exposure” turn out to be right. But we remain unconvinced. There simply are too many critical “known unknowns.”
A final word for policy makers, who are often the primary audiences of the “exposure” narratives. It’s been more than 30 years since Harvard economist Michael Porter argued that “[a] nation’s competitiveness depends on the capacity of its industry to innovate and upgrade.” There is no doubt that the “upgrade” with AI will significantly shake jobs. But, if like Solow, we believe technology destroys jobs but not work, then policy should aim to protect people, not job descriptions. | 3 months ago | Fortune | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 24 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

A new analysis from Goldman Sachs found that AI hasn’t yet had any discernable impact on major labor market indicators such as the unemployment rate, layoffs, or productivity measures. Goldman expects the labor market to be one of the first indicators of AI’s effect on the economy because unemployment data is regularly tracked, and the technology’s ability to automate tasks should increase productivity.
Anyone waiting with bated breath for the rise of AI to roil the labor market will have to sit tight a little longer.
Despite its rapid proliferation over the last couple years, AI has had no discernible effects on major labor market metrics, according to Goldman Sachs.
“Aggregate labor market impacts are still negligible,” wrote Goldman Sachs economists Joseph Briggs and Sarah Dong. “Although AI exposure is highly correlated with adoption, there is no economically or statistically significant correlation between AI exposure and job growth, unemployment, job finding rates, layoff rates, weekly hours, or average hourly earnings.”
At least not yet.
Companies across the U.S. have yet to fully incorporate AI into their operations, Briggs told Fortune.
“I expect that will change over the next several years,” he said. “We’re just still a little bit in the early days of the AI transition.”
Most firms took a gradual approach to integrating AI because the technology was so new and expensive that it required extensive overhauls to existing processes. AI also posed entirely new concerns over data privacy and security that companies had to contend with before rolling it out across their organizations. Some companies may also be playing a waiting game to figure out which AI tools will end up being the best, according to Briggs.
“The technology is a little bit early, and so you don’t want to be locked into what, in the long run, is an inferior platform,” he added.
Goldman expects AI will eventually boost the economy overall starting in 2027 with increases to labor productivity and GDP. That uplift will continue through to the late-2030s, according to Briggs and Dong’s note.
Previous Goldman estimates forecasted the full adoption of AI could lead to a 15% increase in U.S. labor productivity and a 7% increase in global GDP.
“We have a still fairly positive outlook and bullish outlook on the longer-run impacts of AI, and we expect that it will unlock a lot of economic value,” Briggs said.
Any overarching changes to the economy stemming from AI would have first shown up in the labor market because employment data is regularly tracked and the technology’s ability to automate tasks would, in theory, boost productivity, Briggs and Dong wrote. But since there haven’t been any major changes to ongoing trends in the unemployment rate and productivity, Goldman reasons, AI’s effects haven’t yet kicked in.
Most labor market indicators have remained somewhat steady over the last year or so. The unemployment has hovered around 4% since December 2023, never dipping below 3.8% or rising above 4.2% over that time. The latest labor productivity measure for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 2% growth, which was a slight slowdown from the 2.5% in the third quarter.
That’s not to say there haven’t been some changes to the overall labor market. Certain professions, like computer programming, customer service and professional services, that are highly susceptible to generative AI have started seeing some minor changes to hiring practices.
Specifically, those industries where AI is more heavily adopted have seen slight declines in labor demand, with fewer job postings, according to Goldman’s analysis of data from the jobs website Indeed.com.
“Labor demand trends over this period show a common decline across nearly all service subsectors that is correlated with exposure to AI automation, suggesting that the onset of generative AI tools may have led some companies to reevaluate hiring plans,” Briggs and Dong wrote in their note.
Briggs said the next metric his team at Goldman will be watching is “actual job growth” across the economy to see if hiring slowdowns in certain industries are offset by new jobs.
Big changes to the labor market are expected in the coming years. Goldman’s own 2023 forecast that 300 million jobs in the U.S. and Europe were susceptible to some level of change due to AI captured the scale of the potential impact.
However, Brigg’s report said that it will be at least two years until those changes really manifest themselves. The shakeup to the labor market will ultimately come down to how quickly AI is adopted across broad swaths of the economy. That will only start to happen once costs come down, for both AI companies and their eventual customers, and developers continue building out more applications.
The AI industry has already started to make strides toward cheaper solutions. The release of the Chinese company DeepSeek’s latest chatbot sent shockwaves throughout the industry when it was reported to have outperformed some of OpenAI’s best models for a fraction of the development costs. Major U.S. developers have also taken strides to find new, cheaper sources of energy in a bid to lower their own costs.
There has been some progress in business-to-business applications for specific industries like financial services and design. However, the market for these tools has yet to translate to an overhaul of the traditional software market or, as Goldman points out, lead to a substantial, measurable increase in worker productivity outside of a few examples. Though that will change as companies hire more AI talent and cobble the money to invest in new tech; both of which many still lack.
“There’s just a lot of companies that don’t have the expertise or the internal capital to figure out how to develop applications and restructure workflows so that they can incorporate AI and reap the benefits to productivity that it promises,” Briggs said. | 3 months ago | Fortune | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 25 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

Robert Trowe never imagined it would be so difficult landing a full-time job. By the time the 21-year-old graduated from Arizona State University in May, he had a roster of references, a network of family and alumni offering advice and a summer internship at JPMorgan Chase & Co. under his belt. Like any good finance major, he’s kept a spreadsheet of all 300 jobs he’s applied to since the start of his senior year, and the stats are bleak: Just 4% resulted in interviews, 33% sent an automated rejection, and the rest haven’t gotten back at all. “The entry-level roles are few and far between,” he says. “Everyone I know who is graduating right now is struggling.”
Every generation seems to think they’re entering the workforce at a difficult time—just ask those still-reeling 2008 grads who launched during the Great Recession—and they’re not entirely wrong. After all, the US has undergone three recessions since 2000. But there are signs the most recent college grads are facing especially brutal conditions, thanks in part to the rise of artificial intelligence, which is replacing some entry-level positions, and the hiring freezes implemented across much of corporate America under the threat of President Donald Trump’s on-again-off-again tariffs. | 1 week ago | Bloomberg.com | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 26 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

Structural shifts in tech hiring and the growing impact of AI are driving higher unemployment among recent college graduates.
Higher recent college graduate unemployment will add to the Federal Reserve’s concerns of a slowing economy, weakening labor market, and accelerating inflation.
Higher unemployment among recent college graduates is primarily a function of a structural shift in hiring in the tech sector amid strong labor supply growth. While some of it is related to a normalization after the post-pandemic surge, there are signs that entry-level positions are being displaced by artificial intelligence at higher rates.
Despite uncertain employment prospects, recent college graduates remain undeterred, as labor force participation rates haven’t noticeably declined.
Underemployment rates for college graduates and employment in positions that don’t require a college degree remain steady, signaling that graduates aren’t shifting their job searches. | 3 weeks ago | Oxford Economics | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 27 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

AI is seemingly the train that cannot be stopped
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who helms the company behind ChatGPT rival Claude, has warned that artificial intelligence could wipe out a staggering 50% of all entry-level white collar jobs, while spiking unemployment by up to 20% in the next five years, in a new interview with Axios.
Amodei reportedly said in an interview that AI could wipe out "half of all entry-level white-collar jobs", Axios reports, while increasing unemployment by 10-20%. Perhaps more unsettling, he says this could happen in the next one to five years.
According to the report, Amodei says that AI companies and the government should stop "sugar-coating" what's coming, namely, "the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs."
Amodei reiterated that producers of AI tech have a duty of care and an obligation to be honest about the future threat, and highlighted a clear, strange dynamic at play. Amodei believes critics think AI builders are just trying to hype up their own products, ignoring warnings about the future of AI as a result.
He went on to spell out how this "white-collar bloodbath" could unfold, driven by the advancements of AI models like OpenAI's ChatGPT. The U.S. government, driven by fears about falling behind China or spooking workers, stays quiet about the dangers and doesn't regulate. Likewise, most Americans ignore the growing threat of AI, specifically to their jobs, before finally business leaders realize the savings of replacing humans with AI, doing this en masse, with everyone else only realizing before it's too late.
According to the report, Anthropic's own research shows AI is currently being used mostly to augment jobs done by humans, but Amodei says this will eventually progress more towards automation, where AI does the job instead of a human.
The report highlights further context around significant layoffs at companies like Microsoft and Meta's vision of a future where mid-level coders will soon be unnecessary.
Amodei likened the task to a train that can't be stopped by just stepping in front of it, but rather one that requires steering. He says a change in course is possible but needs to be enacted "now." | 3 weeks ago | Tom's Hardware | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 29 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

As companies automate faster, entry-level white-collar jobs are vanishing and AI is replacing junior staff across industries—raising unemployment and reshaping the future of work

Luis von Ahn, founder and CEO of the language-learning app Duolingo, sent an email in late April to all employees which contained surprising news: the company, which brands itself as “AI-first,” plans to phase out contract workers whose jobs can now be done by artificial intelligence.
Duolingo is not alone. In March, Shopify introduced a policy requiring managers to prove that AI cannot perform a job before new hires are approved. In May, Salesforce acknowledged that its use of AI had contributed to a slowdown in hiring, with 500 customer service workers reassigned to other roles.
That same weekend, Business Insider laid off 21% of its staff while doubling down on its AI strategy. “Over 70% of Business Insider employees are already using Enterprise ChatGPT regularly (our goal is 100%),” CEO Barbara Peng wrote in a memo.
Since the launch of powerful generative AI models and autonomous agents two and a half years ago, experts have warned that such technology could shrink hiring and lead to layoffs, particularly in white-collar professions. Once seen as a distant risk, this trend is now becoming a reality. A growing body of evidence shows that companies are actively replacing human workers with AI, especially at the entry level.
Zanele Munyikwa, an economist at labor analytics firm Revelio Labs, recently analyzed online job postings for roles that involve tasks AI can now perform. She found that listings for these jobs have dropped by 19% over the past three years. Her conclusion: companies are simply opting not to hire for positions that AI can do.
According to Munyikwa, roles with high exposure to automation, such as data engineers, database managers, and IT specialists, are more likely to be affected than jobs with lower exposure, like restaurant managers, construction foremen or mechanics. In other words, white-collar positions that rely heavily on data analysis and processing are seeing the sharpest decline in demand. Still, she warned, it’s unclear whether AI in its current form is truly capable of handling all the roles employers believe it can.
The trend is also showing up in macroeconomic data. The U.S. unemployment rate for recent college graduates has risen to 5.8%—a sharp uptick. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, job prospects for this group are “deteriorating markedly.” A May report by Oxford Economics attributed the rise in graduate unemployment largely to changing hiring practices in the tech sector. “There are signs that entry-level jobs are being replaced by artificial intelligence at an accelerating pace,” the report stated.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei echoed these concerns in a recent interview with Axios, warning that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level jobs and raise overall unemployment by 10–20% in the next five years. “Most workers are unaware that this is going to happen,” he said. “It sounds crazy. People just don’t believe it.”
The bigger long-term question is what happens to complex jobs that AI still can’t handle. Today’s experts started out as entry-level workers, learning through hands-on experience and mentorship. But in a world where companies are hesitant to invest in early-career talent, the pipeline for future expertise is thinning. Then again, perhaps companies are betting that by the time that becomes a problem, AI will be able to do those jobs too. | 1 week ago | Ynetnews | data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBwgHBgkIBwgKCgkLDRYPDQwMDRsUFRAWIB0iIiAdHx8kKDQsJCYxJx8fLT0tMTU3Ojo6Iys/RD84QzQ5OjcBCgoKDQwNGg8PGjclHyU3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3N//AABEIAEIAdwMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAbAAACAwEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAFBgADBAcBAv/EADsQAAIBAwMCBAUBBQYHAQAAAAECAwAEEQUSIRMxBkFRYSIycYGRFAcjobHBJDNCYtHwNUNSU3KywhX/xAAaAQADAQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAABAgMEAAUG/8QAIxEAAgICAgEEAwAAAAAAAAAAAAECERIxAyFBBCIyUSMzYf/aAAwDAQACEQMRAD8AfLYYYHByTzzXMdbj6c/Ux+7kDbWzwSCc10SOYIN3c4ziky2NlfxuJIWjujEZSjryAe3PbsRU08Sj7TRytNUKqMGZeP8AuA//ADWxdWhAw1zJu8zsDD+FGoCkGlCeSIHpoWIxzxmsh1GJvibTGIxnnZV8EZsj74xzcxZ9G4NaLO1e52SvKqW4YHJDfvB7YH8azxPpF1cRMdguWAYKScg+h8s+1HIra5mQSpbAqeAQyr2OO1LJQS7dDwyb6Vg+4Cq0QtreSJYidpD5JJ8+K+RnOXV+fMg1suBLDc2sMlu4eVyEG9OSFJ9a22NldXmoQ2MVq4mlYDl0O0f9RAbOBz+Kl+LSkVrk24gtDF5sB9avToH/ABrTlqui6Don6fT7iG+1LULoMUggIBI82PIVV58z+aTdc0IaY0MsKzJbSNtKT4LwnGcEqSGGMkEemDzTvhklYq5FdH3tgI7qRVFyrtGRBKYz7Gs0dvpyzRtPq8axOM5xg4+hIqi/l01GhFldyyo+/cfmIIxjsPPJ/FZ4yylUS742o2y1Y3YozvnyYkDIP1resAiQFcK9DtB23upfo0nLB1YsrIQRgZ/0pq8VacNK0m4ntlt0CKG+GCOPJyOSVAqrbTpkqXgW9Q1A2KqXfLHsoXJNSlee9aWQtNh2PmWBqVdcH9DS+zusCyJpzb2bqncxOc0i2t3LFqty8ZI+Hp/YAf6Uwt4psozLBLDJ1ljDAbcpyDjt6Ec0q6WevNO3qM/yqfBFEJyqNIxa1r0VzNd2R0+C3CxMu+DIDNjOSp+p5z35q63tYLmbLSKIRHl124I475+uKAahCz61cxAHL7lB+1E7C4a20ydrhWWRyEYEcqgHkPeqxnVo6UE6aBFwIxftshQm1bqHA25C9gePpTt4P8WrqckWmanaQxxQQSCOSMH4ie27ucgnuKXLLfdCTojcJbZwz547efrzit9l4TvdNs7LWo7pWlwJZbUrtKoRyN2eTgn0rPOLxaj2aYSjak+vAZ8QWkqRWl5KI5IbeQNH0k+JHOPmJ59MY4rZ4GlubjxvY3skMTdazlRn7MoXtxjgcoPuKss9QTX4H0wrgqmHcAhCRjAB9fl+n2oNZXV9o/iLTmlEkcUE7M7EEb1KkMuex8vwKlCoqMlotP3Wjqur6dHLerqSp/alhMJ5zlC27H5/nXPPEGr2Oo2v6axvIblg4kfpuGxw2MkUY8c+L7hNIjGlWdygv0ZY7meMxbFxywVsNnB4OMcjmubeGtIv/wBfFAIZLeO9U/pp5kKxuBxkHzHIGeecdga3NtxowqPusDLaxiaRWkjXvjc4HnW7TraQlRGiPGqs7OjBtvbvjsPrQe9triyu5ba8ieG4jbEkbjBU1u0BgmqLIeyQTn8Quf6VFRsrmxi8LYi1q5c9wCVPkR0/I9qcPHFxDJoNzFJIoLxg4JxkAjNc9tWOm2sepLG5VlKFlAONyj5vT719a9q9xqdkkktuyRxgoHyCCWXz/Heo23K6OyF53SOc9Mhk9fWpWfYfIg/evavYtsdzfdG/Em6YpNAmdhwCAz/MQe2GHrVuhSBDKSQoCc54xQzV4RbpD0LdxCyshx33FlI+meQKIeHbJry7iVrEXogIeeEOArdx64xnHHOcVP07SWS+hJJPRQ8Cy3U9zGJjM2428ke4YJBAbhTnyPcVltdX1S01O23SRzOV6W6RcBgDj5vU+vvTNr9zDDFBZx6ZPbAkgC3nUsFAweRwo4Awe/lQM2t7fw9bTXupkJKmORiJQR7nFOk+2PYZ0/SwYZZktBbPK37yON94x58jIGcUcn1DfHILkIsax7V2rgZPl3pf0C18ZrNbQxWh6EbBWNxImMc8MwYt+BRyezs7y+SK6vWiuTLsNu0ucvtzs7ehBpY5Rnb0O8XClsHaIqWrBIHfEbOig/8ANkONxPtlf94p0h8NDWFgmvZHhto5FkULw8m0g9/IHH1wT271gg8O29vFM73EqysG6bhVPTYg/FjnOM1n0nxhqlz4gTSLyzjURNsa5gJ2SnZnhWGV7g45xjvWrJYYxRnp5W2ONx4fsNSv2vdUiS6fI6ccmWRFHYbc4POTz60P8S+M7bw/eC2vtMv5EaHqCeFY9hGcHGWHbjj3FGbW8SVyucbRk5oU1nHquqrqepwSJ/8AnysllA7/AC8DdIwB5J8gewA8zwiVjNnNv2h3OleILdryCzvLW7toRJ/aIui0kZPbnO4dz7HjzNJWiLEWvZVcDp2kgxLgA7x0hz9ZBXQv2y3YNjbnjfM3RXjkLkO38Uj/AAaRPDKWAt7yTVZFjtXaKE5B+LJZsDA9UXvgUHs5Po03mqQQQR29lOuyK1PTZWz8a4xwc9+eO/PtVlhq2rTySWzvbSrGryYkgzyvHlj1rDrVpDbJBFbvbTdCMJcGNgr7hwcqcNz64q/w3dQpLP8AqbyKMSDbGjIScn3/AKc59qHVnBPXNSNrqV2sGhaZJHbFVEjrJuI7dlb1zXtZ9VSW51bV1EmFM6rG4THClsj3wTUp1xt+Ah3QY4rhkR71/wBSXyJCq7EXvngDy7c00XGnoNJEUN3GrqTGk8MXSZdpwQcE5HHbikRLuRGwsfDZLEMMrgeneiFpZ6jdzxxW/wCpXrEtufcqEjJyT9q8njdOmhFNJaDtvZxRRqklzLcSDvK7lmNC/EdpcSQg2088csef7uV0yPfB5px0+yiWGP8AVRFp9vxkNwT7VfqFuqWE72NnDJcohaNJBw5A7Z969bqg0zmngvVZNO1EWd5ddOzkZ2dDJt2Mw+YN5Aj0x3znNPmn6xp2pPPbWCWtzFbyASRbgnI+Vox2z7nGT2bikm403WNVumkn8M2KFjyxuimft1Af4URsPCmpwSCa206whlHAOXfH86Wgj8dPgvLdT1ZlWVQfhccA+9eaT4Q0iwuxdxJK0+Sd0kzHkjHbseDX1pVgwt42uFaGdV2sEkfb9s+VFEiK9p5fpkGuTa6QaTPb8SWlq93p0AmuoFLRwBgvV/y59fT+lcyH7Q7m91My6jbpp1td9NIVmfBwCQzn0GBj3OOfTd4/vPGWg777TrqO50vuzdEdSD/yx3H+b8+p5DdSX+p3D3UqXFxJISdwRmHJzgeg57VRdRsVq2H/ANpWswatrEMVnMk1raxlVeM5VmbBYg+Y4A+xoQsQGjWaE/30ssxHtwg/9X/NfFh4e1nUZ1jt9OucsfnkjKKPck8UV1i0FpeiwRgwtI0g3KPmIGWP3ZmqM35HjG+kBzbIRnJHvWm00wpLHLK2ACHC+ZIPFa4rdEwX5PpVs7kxkjGR2qvHx+ZAk60WPI0yEs5yzHcfP/ealZ4GCxJjJZviO73qVoEDKgdTt/iA/iaZfFckmLCLe3SMAJTPGePKvKlfOy1MC+LCHhSRy91GXYohAVc8L9KYckHvXlSt/pv1IeOjSjNxyfzWmMkr3NSpVxiyvtalSuAR+UIPIPBFK+oyPEh6TsnxH5TjzqVKvD4iP5Co1/eNfxI13OVMqgqZTgjNLWt/8a1E+f6h+fua8qUi2h15MBJz3qq9Yi3OCR3/AJVKlXJlkPdfpXlSpRRx/9k= | 31 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |
Has the Decline of Knowledge Work Begun? | https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/business/economy/white-collar-layoffs.html | The unemployment rate for college graduates has risen faster than for other workers over the past few years. How worried should they be? | When Starbucks announced last month that it was laying off more than 1,000 corporate employees, it highlighted a disturbing trend for white-collar workers: Over the past few years, they have seen a steeper rise in unemployment than other groups, and slower wage growth.
It also added fuel to a debate that has preoccupied economists for much of that time: Are the recent job losses merely a temporary development? Or do they signal something more ominous and irreversible?
After sitting below 4 percent for more than two years, the overall unemployment rate has topped that threshold since May.
Economists say that the job market remains strong by historical standards and that much of the recent weakening appears connected to the economic impact of the pandemic. Companies hired aggressively amid surging demand, then shifted to layoffs once the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates. Many of these companies have sought to make their operations leaner under pressure from investors.
But amid rapid advances in artificial intelligence and President Trump’s targeting of federal agencies, which disproportionately support white-collar jobs, some wonder if a permanent decline for knowledge work has begun.
“We’re seeing a meaningful transition in the way work is done in the white-collar world,” said Carl Tannenbaum, the chief economist of Northern Trust. “I tell people a wave is coming.”
To date, few industries epitomize the shift of the last few years better than the making of video games, which began a boom in 2020 as couch-bound Americans sought out new forms of home entertainment. The industry hired aggressively before reversing course and embarking on a period of layoffs. Thousands of video-game workers lost jobs last year and the year before.
The scale of the job loss was such that the host of the Game Developers Choice Awards, the industry’s annual awards show, complained about “record layoffs” during her opening monologue in 2024. That same year, a unionization trend that had begun with lower-paid quality assurance testers spread to better-paid workers like game producers, designers and engineers at companies that make the hit games Fallout and World of Warcraft.
At Bethesda Game Studios, which is owned by Microsoft and makes Fallout, workers said they unionized partly because they were alarmed by rounds of layoffs at the company in 2023 and 2024 and felt that a union would give them leverage in a softening labor market.

“It was the first time that Bethesda had experienced layoffs in a very, very long time,” said Taylor Welling, a producer at the studio, who holds a master’s degree in interactive entertainment. “That sort of scared a lot of people.” Microsoft declined to comment.
Unemployment in finance and related industries, while still low, increased by about a quarter from 2022 to 2024, as rising interest rates slowed demand for mortgages and companies sought to become leaner. On an earnings call last summer, the chief executive of Wells Fargo noted that the company’s “efficiency initiatives” had pruned the company’s work force for 16 straight quarters, including a nearly 50 percent reduction of workers in the company’s home lending division since 2023.
Last fall, Wells Fargo laid off about one-quarter of the roughly 45 employees on its conduct management intake team, which reviews accusations of company misconduct against customers and employees. Heather Rolfes, a lawyer who was let go, said that she believed the company was seeking to save money by shrinking its U.S. work force, and that she and her colleagues were a tempting target because they had recently sought to unionize.
“I think it was great for them to get rid of two birds with one stone,” Ms. Rolfes said. Some of her former co-workers say they anxiously await every Tuesday after a payday, because that’s when the company tends to inform workers about job cuts. “We feel like at any moment we could be laid off,” said Eden Davis, another worker on the team.
A Wells Fargo spokesman said in a statement that the layoffs had nothing to do with the union and that “we regularly review and adjust staffing levels to align with market conditions.” He noted that two managers on the team had also lost their jobs.
Atif Rafiq, the author of a book on corporate strategy who has held senior positions at McDonald’s and Amazon, said many companies were seeking to emulate Amazon’s model of building cross-functional teams that reduce barriers between workers with different expertise, like coding and marketing. In the process, they may discover redundancies and undertake layoffs.
In a memo announcing the layoffs at Starbucks last month, Brian Niccol, the chief executive, cited a goal of “removing layers and duplication and creating smaller, more nimble teams.” Nissan offered a similar rationale for management cuts announced this month.
Overall, the latest data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York show that the unemployment rate for college grads has risen 30 percent since bottoming out in September 2022 (to 2.6 percent from 2 percent), versus about 18 percent for all workers (to 4 percent from 3.4 percent). An analysis by Julia Pollak, chief economist of ZipRecruiter, shows that unemployment has been most elevated among those with bachelor’s degrees or some college but no degree, while unemployment has been steady or falling at the very top and bottom of the education ladder — for those with advanced degrees or without a high school diploma.
Hiring rates have slowed more for jobs requiring a college degree than for other jobs, according to ADP Research, which studies the labor market.
Some economists say these trends may be short term in nature and little cause for concern on their own. Lawrence Katz, a labor economist at Harvard, noted that the uptick in unemployment for college-educated workers was only modestly larger than the increase in unemployment overall, and that unemployment for both groups remained low by historical measures.
Professor Katz argued that slower growth in wages for upper-middle-class workers could simply reflect a discount that these workers effectively accepted in return for being able to work from home. Data from the liberal Economic Policy Institute shows that wages for workers in the 70th and 80th percentiles of the income distribution have grown more slowly than those of any other group since 2019.
But there are other signs that the returns on a college degree may have shifted over a longer period. The gap in wages between those with a college degree and those without one grew steadily beginning in 1980, but flattened during the past 15 years, though it remains high.
The flattening may partly reflect the fact that there are more college-educated workers for employers to choose from, as college attendance has increased. But some economists argue that it reflects employers’ reduced need for college graduates — for example, fewer jobs like bookkeeping as information technology has become more sophisticated. Such jobs don’t necessarily require a college degree but were often attractive to graduates because they once paid them a relatively high wage.
And artificial intelligence could reduce that need further by increasing the automation of white-collar jobs. A recent academic paper found that software developers who used an A.I. coding assistant improved a key measure of productivity by more than 25 percent, and that the productivity gains appeared to be largest among the least experienced developers. The result suggested that adopting A.I. could reduce the wage premium enjoyed by more experienced coders, since it would erode their productivity advantages over novices.
Mert Demirer, an M.I.T. economist who was a co-author of the paper, said in an interview that a software developer’s job could change over the longer term, so that the human coder became a kind of project manager overseeing multiple A.I. assistants. In that case, wages could rise as the human became more productive. And A.I. could end up expanding employment among coders if cheaper software led to even greater demand.
Still, at least in the near term, many tech executives and their investors appear to see A.I. as a way to trim their staffing. A software engineer at a large tech company who declined to be named for fear of harming his job prospects said that his team was about half the size it was last year and that he and his co-workers were expected to do roughly the same amount of work by relying on an A.I. assistant. Overall, the unemployment rate in tech and related industries jumped by more than half from 2022 to 2024, to 4.4 percent from 2.9 percent.
Then there are Mr. Trump’s attempts to remake the federal government, which have so far resulted in job losses and hiring freezes for federal employees and employees at universities and other nonprofits that rely on government funding. Johns Hopkins University, which relies heavily on federal research funding, announced this month that it was laying off 2,000 workers worldwide as a result of Mr. Trump’s cuts.
Professor Katz of Harvard noted that a larger portion of college-educated workers depended on the federal government for their jobs than other groups, either directly or through the funding of nonprofits. “What appears to be a major contraction of spending on science and research, on education, by the government — that is going to potentially have a very large impact,” he said.
“The overall unemployment rate for college graduates doesn’t look particularly elevated,” he added. “But it may be in the next six months.” | 2 months ago | The New York Times | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 32 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

The report highlighted that the unemployment among recent college graduates in United States is now at 5.8 per cent, which is higher than the national average of 4 per cent and more than double the 2.7 per cent rate for all college graduates. | 2 weeks ago | ETHRWorld.com | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 33 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

By Ana Altchek and Sarah Perkel
May 28, 2025, 6:51 PM UTC
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI's rise could result in a spike in unemployment within the next five years.
Amodei said AI could soon eliminate 50% of entry-level office jobs, and that companies and the government are "sugarcoating" the risks of AI. He added that the development of large language models is advancing rapidly, and they're becoming capable of matching and exceeding human performance.
The US government has remained quiet about the issue, fearing workers would panic or the country could fall behind China in the AI race. Meanwhile, business leaders are seeing savings from AI while most workers remain unaware of the changes that are evolving.
Amodei's comments come as Big Tech firms' hiring of new grads dropped about 50% from pre-pandemic levels, according to a new report by the venture capital firm SignalFire. The report said that's due in part to AI adoption.
Amodei acknowledged the irony of the situation, as he shares the risks of AI while simultaneously building and selling the products he's warning about. However, he said the people who are most involved in building AI have an obligation to be upfront about its direction.
Anthropic has emphasized the importance of third-party safety assessments and regularly shares the risks uncovered by its red-teaming efforts. Other companies have taken similar steps, relying on third-party evaluations to test their AI systems.
Amodei's chilling message comes after the company recently revealed that its chatbot Claude Opus 4 exhibited "extreme blackmail behavior" after gaining access to fictional emails that said it would be shut down.
It's not the first time Amodei has warned the public about the risks of AI. On an episode of The New York Times' "Hard Fork" podcast in February, the CEO said the possibility of "misuse" by bad actors could threaten millions of lives.
Anthropic has emphasized the importance of third-party safety assessments and regularly shares the risks uncovered by its red-teaming efforts.
He added that AI companies and the government need to stop "sugarcoating" the risks of mass job elimination in fields including technology, finance, law, and consulting.
Entry-level jobs are especially at risk, and Amodei said that unemployment could spike to between 10% and 20% in the next five years.
He wants to share his concerns to get the government and other AI companies to prepare the country for what's to come.
"Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen," Amodei said.
"Now, you can hire one experienced worker, equip them with AI tooling, and they can produce the output of the junior worker on top of their own — without the overhead," Doshay said.
AI can't entirely account for the sudden shrinkage in early-career prospects, and the report also said that negative perceptions of Gen Z employees and tighter budgets across the industry are contributing to tech's apparent reluctance to hire new grads.
"AI isn't stealing job categories outright — it's absorbing the lowest-skill tasks," Doshay said.
Amodei's comments come as Big Tech firms' hiring of new grads dropped about 50% from pre-pandemic levels.
The report said that's due in part to AI adoption, and that tech companies are prioritizing hiring more seasoned professionals and often filling posted junior roles with senior candidates.
To adapt to the rapidly changing times, Doshay suggests new grads think of AI as a collaborator, rather than a competitor.
"Level up your capabilities to operate like someone more experienced by embracing a resourceful ownership mindset and delegating to AI," Doshay said.

I’m here to argue that AI is not going to cause a rise in unemployment. I think it’s actually increased employment in the United States, not decreased it.
Joseph Politano
When ChatGPT was first rolled out, there was a widespread fear that unemployment was going to rise very quickly. Well, it’s been several years since ChatGPT was released, and the unemployment rate in the United States has stayed the same, says Joseph Politano, economic analyst and data journalist.
In fact, if you look at employment in the U.S., it’s near some of the highest levels on record — and they’ve only increased over the last few years since the start of the pandemic. The economy has gone through tectonic economic shifts before. Think: the rise of the smartphone, or the rise of the internet, or the rise of the phone in the first place. Or even things as simple as elevator buttons that put elevator operators out of work. These created new jobs that more than replaced the jobs lost by technological change.
In fact, if you look at data from the U.S. Census Bureau, on one of the most comprehensive surveys of businesses in America, the vast majority of businesses said that AI has not affected their employment levels at all. And if you look at the subset of businesses that said AI affected their employment levels, the majority said that it increased the number of people they had on staff, not decreased. That’s not to say that all industries and all occupations are going to be completely unaffected. There’s going to be a shift away from the kind of work that AI is able to do exceptionally well, and towards the kind of work that humans can specialize in. Here’s what to expect from the job market with the rise of generative AI.
JOSEPH POLITANO: - You’ve probably heard that AI is going to cause a rise in unemployment.
- ‘A new report is sounding the alarm over the impact of artificial intelligence.’
- ‘60% of roles will be affected.’
- ‘I think no job is safe.’
- And you’ve probably only heard those calls get louder as tools like ChatGPT and other types of generative AI have been released. I’m here to argue that AI is not going to cause a rise in unemployment. I think it’s actually increased employment in the United States, not decreased it. And I think understanding why is really important to understanding how the labor market works, and what to expect for the future of American jobs. When ChatGPT was first released, you probably heard the extremely numerous takes that unemployment was going to rise very quickly, and that was going to drastically change the macroeconomy. Well, it’s been more than a year since ChatGPT was released and the unemployment rate in the United States has stayed the same. In fact, if you look at employment in the U.S., it’s near some of the highest levels on record- and they’ve only increased over the last few years since the start of the pandemic. And the economy has gone through tectonic economic shifts before. Think: the rise of the smartphone, or the rise of the internet, or the rise of the phone in the first place. Or even things as simple as elevator buttons that put elevator operators out of work. These created new jobs that more than replaced the jobs lost by technological change. In fact, if you look at data from the U.S. Census Bureau, on one of the most comprehensive surveys of businesses in America, the vast majority of businesses said that AI has not affected their employment levels at all. And if you look at the subset of businesses that said AI affected their employment levels, the majority said that it increased the number of people they had on staff, not decreased. Humans aren’t just tools, and the economy as a whole is a social construct- a social construct built to benefit humans. People, as individuals, seek the most valuable work they can do to get the biggest pay they can have, and they naturally find the kind of jobs that are valuable to others. That’s not to say that all industries and all occupations are gonna be completely unaffected. There’s going to be a shift away from the kind of work that AI is able to do exceptionally well, and towards the kind of work that humans can specialize in. Predicting what that work is is a lot harder than you think. Go back 5 years, go back 10 years, people were most worried about autonomous vehicles that could put truck drivers out of work in the future. Fast forward to today, people are most worried about white-collar jobs in offices and businesses, not truck drivers. Keep in mind, there’s always been job churn in the U.S. economy. Millions of people are laid off every year, millions more are hired, and millions quit their jobs to find something better. That job churn is a natural part of how the U.S. economy works, and we should, as a country, care about the people who lose their jobs because they’re here today, not because we’re worried about AI possibly causing unemployment in the future. | 4 months ago | Big Think | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 35 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

Michelle Del Rey reports on the students trapped without a next step
Sunday 25 May 2025 17:16 BST
The class of 2025 is celebrating graduation season — but the reality of finding a job is particularly grim right now thanks to market uncertainty under President Donald Trump, the rise of artificial intelligence killing entry-level jobs and the unemployment rate for recent grads at its highest level since 2021.
Jenna, 23, felt thrilled to receive a job offer from the federal government in January.
But by March, the offer was put on hold because of the ongoing hiring freeze for federal civilian employees led by Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts.
“It's been quite disorienting,” she told The Independent. “I don’t think anybody saw this coming.”
Jenna, who asked to be identified by just her first name, graduated from the University of Virginia last week with a bachelor’s degree in biology and a minor in data science and is now awaiting a full-time gig.
The New York Federal Reserve reported last month that the recent college grad unemployment rate jumped to 5.8 percent during the first quarter of 2025, compared to 4.5 percent this time last year. The underemployment rate also rose to 41.2 percent compared to 40.6 percent in 2024.
College majors with the highest percentages of underemployment were anthropology, physics, computer engineering, commercial art and graphic design, fine arts and sociology.
So far, Jenna has applied to roughly 100 other roles but the competition in the data science field is fierce and she is struggling to stand out to AI models sifting through resumes.
“I have no idea what this AI is trained to look for,” she said. “I have no idea what the buzzwords are. I don't know what the algorithm is… So I just feel like it's even more of a crap shoot.”
Compounding the matter is her fear of AI taking over the work she wanted to do.
“What actually can I do as a human who’s a recent graduate that some robot isn’t going to take over?” she asked.
The worry is valid: the unemployment rate in the tech sector has risen to 5.7 percent this year, as billions are being spent to implement AI across the industry. Routine, mundane tasks usually given to new grads, such as reporting and clerical administration, have now been replaced by AI.
The World Economic Forum estimates AI will generate 170 million jobs. However, the growth is expected to be offset by the displacement of roughly 92 million jobs, resulting in a net growth of 78 million jobs.
Jesse Zmick, 34, is set to graduate with a master’s degree in cybersecurity this summer from Old Dominion University. In his case, he said he’s more concerned about the current job market than emerging technology.
He currently works on the University of Virginia’s systems administration and cybersecurity team but is learning how to navigate AI models to be more competitive in future roles.
He’s noticed his peers are having a tough time in their job hunts due to economic conditions and a percentage of entry-level roles becoming automated.
“If I were looking at entry-level roles right now, I’d be more worried but that’s probably as much of just the economic situation and the fact that tech companies are generally cutting back at the moment,” he said, noting the sector is correcting itself from overhiring during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jenna’s plan for her future is reminiscent of the millennials who graduated during the 2008 recession: she’s trying to get extra certifications to impress recruiters, she plans to move back home to northern Virginia once her college job finishes at the end of summer, and her back-up plan is graduate school, perhaps overseas.
“I don’t have the experience or the credentials, like, say, a master’s degree in data science to get some of these positions that some people seem to want,” she said. | 3 weeks ago | The Independent |

In April, the tech industry lost 214,000 positions as companies shifted toward AI roles and skills-based hiring amid economic uncertainty.
Although the nation’s overall unemployment rate held steady in April, technology worker hiring slowed and unemployment rose markedly.
Tech sector companies reduced staffing by a net 7,000 positions in April, an analysis of data released today by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed.
“Employers are no longer aggressively expanding their workforce, fewer individuals are leaving their jobs, and those who do are finding it challenging to re-enter the job market,” said Ger Doyle, U.S. Country Manager at employment firm ManpowerGroup.
Hiring gains in the tech services sector were not enough to offset job losses in tech manufacturing, telecommunications and cloud infrastructure, according to a report from tech industry association CompTIA.

Across the economy, tech employment fell by an estimated 214,000 jobs, pushing the sector’s unemployment rate up to 3.5% from 3.1% in March.
“It was not a great month of data, but expected given the circumstances,” said Tim Herbert, CompTIA’s chief research officer.
“Employer tech job postings continue to hold up, so [that’s] a possible sign that hiring will resume as companies find their bearings.”
Across all job sectors, employers added 177,000 jobs in April despite economic uncertainty around President Donald J. Trump’s international tariffs, BLS data showed.
The overall unemployment rate remained unchanged from March at 4.2%.
“Our real-time data shows job openings down 11% year-over-year, signaling a cooling environment,” Doyle said.
Hiring remains slow as employers focus on talent retention and adopt a “wait-and-watch” approach, closely monitoring economic signals, Doyle said.
While sectors like medical and executive management grow, concerns about future hiring and AI’s impact on roles persist, he said.
“While our data shows a 13% month-over-month decline in traditional software developer postings, this doesn’t tell the whole story.
Developers are evolving into strategic technology orchestrators who harness AI to drive unprecedented business value,” said Kye Mitchell, head of tech employment firm Experis North America, a ManpowerGroup subsidiary.
The impact from AI on hiring was stark, as companies grapple with cleaning, organizing, and sharing data stores for potential use by the technology.
Demand for database architects skyrocketed, leaping 2312%, Mitchell said.
Jobs for statisticians also rose sharply (up 382%).
In today’s economy, IT leaders must invest in AI to deliver measurable outcomes, not just for the sake of technology, according to Mitchell.
“Tech leaders must be incredibly precise about where they allocate resources.
This isn’t about AI for AI’s sake; outcomes [must] justify the investment, even during uncertain times,” she said.
Among vertical industries, employment continued to trend up in healthcare, transportation and warehousing, financial activities, and social assistance.
But federal government employment declined amid cuts by the Trump Administration and its unofficial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Employers continue to pursue skills-based hiring strategies.
About one-half of all April tech job postings did not specify a need for a four-year academic degree, according to CompTIA.
Skills-based hiring has been on the rise for several years, as organizations seek to fill specific needs for big data analytics, programing (such as Rust), and AI prompt engineering.
In fact, demand for generative AI (genAI) courses is surging, passing all other tech skills courses spanning fields from data science to cybersecurity, project management, and marketing.
GenAI projects will move from pilot phase to production for many companies this year, which means workers are likely to be affected in ways never before imagined, according to Sarah Hoffman, director of AI research at AlphaSense.
“As AI automates more processes, the role of workers will shift,” Hoffman said in an earlier interview.
“Jobs focused on repetitive tasks may decline, but new roles will emerge, requiring employees to focus on overseeing AI systems, handling exceptions, and performing creative or strategic functions that AI cannot easily replicate.
The future workforce will likely collaborate more closely with AI tools.”
When considering new hires, 80% of corporate executives are expected to prioritize skills over degrees, with half planning to boost freelance hiring this year to fill in for a gap in AI and other skills, according to a recent study from freelancing platform Upwork.
The top 10 highest-paid skills in tech can help workers earn up to 47% more — and the top skill among them is genAI, according to employment website Indeed and other sources.
“Let’s be honest, the job opportunities in the AI field for AI scientists has gone up massively,” said Julie Teigland, global vice chair for alliances and ecosystems at Ernst & Young.
“There is a huge skills gap in terms of the number of people that can do that and that is not changing.
Those are still in massive demand.
“Everywhere else we can talk about what jobs are changing and where the future is, but AI scientists and data scientists continue to be the top two in terms of what we’re looking for,” she said.
Geographically, when it comes to tech job postings, California topped all states in April with 26,280, up 1,037 from March.
Texas, Virginia, and New York followed in total postings, while Arizona, West Virginia, and Maryland saw the largest month-over-month percentage gains, CompTIA data showed. | 1 month ago | Computerworld | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 37 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

Despite warnings about AI-driven job losses, Rich Lowry argues that technological advances historically create new opportunities, and AI is more likely to boost productivity and reshape work than cause lasting unemployment.

ChatGPT is coming for your job.
That's the fear about the rapid advances in artificial intelligence.
In a headline the other day, Axios warned of a "white-collar bloodbath". The CEO of the artificial intelligence firm Anthropic told the publication that AI could destroy half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the next one to five years and drive the unemployment rate up to 10% to 20%, or roughly Great Depression levels.
This sounds dire, but we've been here before. In the 1930s, John Maynard Keynes thought that labor-saving devices were "outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labor". Analysts thought the same thing in the 1960s, when John F. Kennedy warned "the automation problem is as important as any we face", and in our era, too.
If a prediction has been consistently wrong, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will forever be wrong. Still, we shouldn't have much confidence in the same alarmism, repeated for the same reasons.
If technological advance was really a net killer of jobs, the labor market should have been in decline since the invention of the wheel.
Instead, we live in a time of technological marvels, and the unemployment rate is 4.2%. Rob Atkinson of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation points out that the average unemployment rate in the United States hasn't changed much over the last century, despite productivity — the ability to produce more with the same inputs — increasing almost 10 times.
Technology increases productivity, driving down costs and making it possible to invest and spend on other things, creating new jobs that replace the old. This is the process of a society becoming wealthier, and it's why nations that innovate are better off than those that don't.
The rise of personal computers collapsed the demand for typists and word processors. These positions were often held by women. Did this decimate the economic prospects of women in America? No, they got different, and frequently better, jobs.
Spreadsheets drastically reduced the demand for bookkeepers and accounting clerks. Did this end the profession of accounting? No, there was an increase in more sophisticated accounting roles.
The job market has never been stuck in amber. The MIT economist David Autor co-authored a study that found that the majority of current jobs are in occupational categories that arose since 1940.
It's true that artificial intelligence is projected to affect white-collar jobs — computer programming, consulting, law and the like — more than prior waves of technological change. But these kinds of jobs shouldn't be immune from the effects of automation any more than factory work has been.
AI will end up augmenting many jobs — helping workers become more efficient — and there will be a limit to how much it can encroach on human work.
It's hard to imagine, say, Meta ever giving over its legal representation in an antitrust case to artificial intelligence. Lawyers handling such a case will, however, rely on AI for more and more support, diminishing the need for junior lawyers.
This will be a significant disruption for the legal profession, yet legal services will also become cheaper and more widely available, in a benefit to everyone else.
There's no doubt that the changes wrought by technology can be painful, and it's possible that artificial intelligence eventually gets so good at so many tasks that people have no ready recourse to new, better jobs, as has always happened in the past.
The potential upside, though, is vast. After strong productivity growth for about a decade beginning in the mid-1990s, we shifted into a lower gear in the mid-2000s. It will be a boon if artificial intelligence puts us on a better trajectory. An era of high productivity growth will, among other things, make it easier to deal with the budget deficit and the fiscal strain of retiring baby boomers.
Like anything else, AI will have its downsides, but it's not an inherent threat any more than computers or the internet. | 2 weeks ago | seMissourian | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 38 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

The current study investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on unemployment among people with disabilities, focusing on the mediating role of education and the moderating effect of governance quality. Using panel data from 27 high-tech developed countries between 2006 and 2022, the findings reveal a nuanced relationship where AI initially increases unemployment among people with disabilities due to automation and skill mismatches. However, advanced education mitigates this effect, significantly improving employability by equipping individuals with market-relevant skills. Governance quality plays a critical role in this dynamic, amplifying AI’s positive impact on education while, paradoxically, intensifying its negative effects on unemployment when governance frameworks are weak or misaligned. These findings underscore the importance of robust governance structures and targeted educational initiatives to harness AI’s potential in fostering inclusive labor markets. Policymakers should align AI investments with governance reforms and education systems to ensure equitable employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
1 Introduction
Artificial intelligence has become increasingly recognized for its transformative impact on various aspects of society, including the labor market. By removing conventional barriers to work, artificial intelligence holds special promise for reducing unemployment among individuals with disabilities in high-tech developed nations. Due to things like restricted physical accessibility, rigid work conditions, and prejudices throughout the hiring process, it has historically been difficult for people with disabilities to find and keep a job.

Recent college grads are finding it increasingly difficult to find jobs, and the gap between them and the national average is growing. Joining us now for more is Yahoo Finance market reporter, Josh Schafer.
00:00:15
Josh Schafer
Hey Josh, yes, so we talk a lot about the unemployment rate in America being relatively low. So the unemployment rate that we're looking at on our screen here is in green. It is 4.2%. If you look over time, that is a historically low unemployment rate. But when we zoom into this chart that we're looking at here, we're seeing an interesting trend on who is having a hard time finding a job. So in our white line, we have recent college graduates. Recent college graduates constitute, uh, individuals that are 22 to 27 that just got a degree. Notice the white line typically goes underneath that green line on your screen. So typically it's moving lower. Normally those folks are having an easier time finding a job. But when you zoom in to what's happening right now, you'll see that college graduates are actually having a harder time finding a job than the national average. Two key things to point out with this data. So the folks over at Oxford Economics told me one of the big things we're seeing is AI is definitely playing a little bit of a role here. So AI could be taking in entry-level analyst jobs, entry-level jobs in tech. There's less jobs for these newcomers coming into the job market. Another key piece of this chart in 2022 is when we saw this shift. A lot of college graduates have been going to get a science degrees over the last couple years, right? They've been going into tech. Well, now what's happened since 2022, we've had that year of efficiency from meta and really across tech. There's less jobs in tech now than there used to be. The folks over at indeed told me they've seen a 40% drop in job postings for computer software jobs compared to 2020. So again, there's simply less jobs for people coming into tech right now. So graduates are graduating, they're looking for jobs, they're looking for jobs and they're continuing to not find them as quickly as they used to.
00:03:32
Speaker A
So Josh, part of this, it sounds like is, is the jobs that they're targeting, you're saying?
00:03:42
Josh Schafer
Yes, definitely. It's definitely something that we're seeing specifically in tech, and then when you look at how many college graduates are getting a degree in something like information technology, something like computer science. We had sort of skewed because of this big tech boom over the last 20 years, everyone wants to go get into tech, right? Go learn to code now. Well, that's been a shift because some of those jobs are simply being taken, like I said, by AI, or are now being not offered anymore because these companies are trying to slim down. So it's specifically right now seems to be perhaps a tech sector focus. But economists did tell me that this is one reason that the overall unemployment rate is not expected to be falling anytime soon.

In the past weeks, hundreds of thousands of students earned diplomas from colleges and universities across the country. But for many, the biggest challenge still lies ahead: landing a job in their major.
From the rise of artificial intelligence to uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump's tariff policies, the opportunities for the newly minted graduates could be more limited than in recent years – especially in tech jobs, according to Oxford Economics, a global economic forecasting company.
That's not to say there aren't any jobs. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said there were 7.2 million job openings in March. That's about where the job market stood in the months before the pandemic. On June 3, we'll find out about April's numbers.
Job openings tumble from historic high in 2022
While unemployment rose modestly in the past year and the economy continues to add jobs, some caution lights are starting to flash in the job market. Initial jobless claims, while still relatively low, rose and were a higher-than-expected 240,000 for the week ending May 24. Perhaps more important for new graduates: Continued jobless claims are at their highest level since 2021.
"Continued claims continue to creep higher, confirming that workers who lose their jobs are finding it tougher to find new employment," wrote Nancy Vanden Houten, lead U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, in her note May 29 about the Labor Department's release.
In recent weeks, economists have noted that fluctuating tariffs – most recently impacted by Wednesday’s court ruling blocking many of them – have created uncertainty for businesses, prompting many to hold off on staffing decisions.
"New graduates are entering the job market at a time when the future is murky and many pathways for career entry are less reliable," wrote Allison Shrivastava, an Indeed Hiring Lab economist, in an April report about the class of 2025's job outlook. "Job openings are increasingly concentrated in fields that may not align with every grad’s aspirations."
So while there are millions of job postings, many entry-level roles aren’t in the industries graduates had hoped their degrees would lead to. In fact, according to data from Indeed – one of the country’s largest job sites – many of the positions in highest demand don’t likely require a college degree.

AI adds another challenge for recent graduates
According to Oxford Economics' new college graduate report, over the past two decades, college enrollment surged in programs leading to entry-level roles in computer system design and related tech fields. However, since 2022, positions in computer and mathematical sciences have been among the first affected as companies increasingly adopt artificial intelligence systems.
Before the pandemic, unemployment rates for recent college graduates – adults between 22 and 27 years old – were generally well below the overall rate. Since mid-2023, the relationship has flipped. Now recent graduates' unemployment rates are higher and pushing up the overall unemployment rate.
Recent college graduates' unemployment rate is now above the national rate
Like tech programs, the number of health care courses and programs surged during the past decade. Yet unlike many other fields, job opportunities in health care remain strong. In fact, medical careers dominate Indeed’s latest list of job postings with the highest growth since 2020.
Demand for health care skills remains strong
Still, most unemployed recent graduates remain active in their job search despite early setbacks, according to Oxford Economics. While older workers may stop looking – lowering the unemployment rate for their age groups – graduates' persistence may provide a more accurate picture of a more challenging job market.
If a full-time job remains elusive, Shrivastava recommends exploring internship opportunities, which can help recent graduates get a foot in the door. Pharmacy roles often top Indeed’s job board – largely because internships are a licensing requirement – but many of the other top listings align closely with a wider variety of college degrees.
Careers where the most internships are available
History still on the side of those with bachelors degrees
While the path to a first job may be rocky for these new graduates, they can take comfort in a frequently cited statistic: on average, individuals with a bachelor’s degree earn $1 million more over their lifetimes than those with only a high school diploma, and $500,000 more than those with an associate degree.
Oxford Economic also notes college educated workers typically weather economic downturns better than those workers with less education who might work in service industries such as construction or retail. | 3 weeks ago | USA Today | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 43 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

Following the emergence of Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) start-up DeepSeek, the nation’s rapid AI developments are sending shock waves through China’s job market, with companies already planning lay-offs as automation takes over repetitive tasks.
Young jobseekers are being forced to rethink their prospects amid a rapidly changing landscape and a slowing economy, as AI reshapes employment opportunities while also giving rise to new roles in technology and innovation, according to a labour specialist.
Last week, the CEO of Chicmax Cosmetics, the parent company of Chinese cosmetics brands such as Kans and One Leaf, allegedly instructed various departments to reduce their workforce. Some areas, such as customer service, were said to be facing a 95 per cent lay-off rate, with only 5 per cent of those proficient in AI staying, according to leaked internal communication that was said to be from the company’s chat group.
Weeks ago, DeepSeek stunned the tech world with its low-cost, high-performing large language model, rivalling or even surpassing ChatGPT – a generative AI chatbot developed by OpenAI – in certain respects.
Screenshots purportedly from Chicmax CEO Lu Yixiong’s WeChat account indicated that workforce adjustments were “aimed at making operations more scientific and efficient”, and that the company planned on laying off half of its legal department and 80 per cent of its content-innovation department, while “one team will be expected to handle the workload of the previous 20 teams”, the alleged screenshots showed.
Lu later clarified on his account that the company was not planning mass lay-offs; instead, they expected to increase the overall headcount by 800 this year, with the headquarters’ staff reaching 2,700 by the end of the year.

Recent college graduates are having a harder time finding work, despite their higher education degrees, which usually give job-seekers a leg up in the labor market.
That's according to a new report from Oxford Economics which shows that unemployed recent college grads account for 12% of an 85% rise in the national unemployment rate since mid-2023. That's a high number, given that this cohort only makes up 5% of the total labor force.
What's more, the rate of unemployment among workers who have recently graduated from college and are between the ages of 22 and 27, is nearing 6% —which is above the national unemployment rate of 4.2%.
"People who have obtained a bachelor's degree or higher have a higher unemployment rate than national average, and this is the first time this has happened in the last 45 years of data," Matthew Martin, senior U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, told CBS MoneyWatch.
That's noteworthy, he said, because "those with higher educational attainment usually have better prospects overall than their peer with less."
So why are recent college grads are having a tougher time finding work post-college than previous graduating classes did?
While the report points to a couple of factors, it finds that a slowdown in hiring in formerly hot sectors is driving the growth in unemployment among degree holders.
"The rise in the recent graduate unemployment rate is largely part of a mismatch between an oversupply of recent graduates in fields where business demand has waned," according to the report.
That holds especially true in the tech industry, as more college students graduate with degrees in computer science and related fields than any other major.
"Prospects for employment will remain minimal for these individuals, keeping the unemployment rate elevated in the near term," Oxford Economics researchers wrote in the report.
Tech sector-centric
Computer science is among the fastest-growing fields of study among undergrads, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, but jobs in the sector are particularly vulnerable to replacement by automation. Recent advances in artificial intelligence also expose workers in the field to being rendered obsolete.
"There's a mismatch between business demand and the labor supply overall," Martin said. "And it's very concentrated in the technology sector."
The industry hired at a fast clip when the economy reopened post-pandemic, before pulling back. Those cuts are likely still affecting the current unemployment rate, according to Martin.
"Some of it could be a normalization after the tech sector's hiring surge at the end of the pandemic around 2021," he said. "But there's also evidence that AI is starting to impact lower-level computer science gigs," he added.
Experienced workers who graduated with computer science degrees but have racked up more than a few years of experience are faring fine, noted Martin. It's those who do the kind of lower-level, rote work that AI is already adept at, who are seeing a mismatch between the number of jobs available and the supply of workers seeking them.
"Some of it might be businesses being productive with the workers they have and not wanting to increase costs overall by hiring. It could also be higher adoption rates of AI," Martin said. "At the moment, it looks to be a bit of both."
Uncertainty slows hiring
Economic uncertainty, driven largely by President Trump's aggressive, yet ever-changing tariff agenda, is also leading a number of businesses to press pause on growth and investment. Because of this, the unemployment rate among recent college graduates could continue to inch upward, according to Martin.
"We are heading into a period where uncertainty is really high; the impact of tariffs is starting to bleed through, and businesses are facing higher input costs," he said.
Although recent college graduates who have secured employment aren't being laid off at higher rates than the rest of the workforce, Martin doesn't expect things to get easier for young graduates on the hunt for employment, absent a surge in hiring by tech companies or mass exodus of workers from the labor force.
"There is some softening in demand overall, but a lot of it is concentrated at the moment in recent college graduates, and we are looking for the unemployment rate to rise," he said.
The "underemployment" effect
When qualified workers with college degrees try and fail to find work in their desired field, they tend to continue seeking work, sometimes looking for a job in another sector, as opposed to withdrawing from the labor force, the report notes. That can lead to college-educated workers finding themselves "underemployed," or in roles where 50% of the workers who occupy them do not have a bachelor's degree or higher.
This scenario can doom them for years to come: Underemployed workers tend to remain so for the rest of their careers, according to a report. | 3 weeks ago | CBS News | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 45 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

The unemployment rate of recent college graduates has risen nearly 2% over the past three years.
Old expectations about careers are being shredded as new grads enter the workforce, PwC CEO Paul Griggs writes in a guest commentary.
The class of 2025 is entering a work world that looks dramatically different than it did even a few years ago.
Data released last week indicates the U.S. private sector may be experiencing its most significant hiring slowdown in several years. The gap between the unemployment rate for new grads and the broader labor force is at its lowest point in 40 years—a historic signal that something fundamental is shifting when it comes to entry-level work. | 5 days ago | Mint | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 46 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

AI could threaten entry-level jobs and lead to a spike in unemployment, according to a report by Jefferies. The report suggests that automation and artificial intelligence may displace certain jobs, particularly those that involve repetitive or routine tasks. This could lead to an increase in unemployment, especially among younger workers who are just entering the workforce. The report highlights the need for workers to develop skills that are complementary to AI, such as critical thinking and problem-solving, in order to remain employable. | 2 weeks ago | MSN | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 48 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |
AI could wipe out half of office jobs, push US unemployment to 20%, warns Claude chatbot creator | https://e.vnexpress.net/news/tech/tech-news/ai-could-wipe-out-half-of-office-jobs-push-us-unemployment-to-20-warns-claude-chatbot-creator-4893268.html | Dario Amodei, CEO of AI startup Anthropic, has warned that artificial intelligence could wipe out half of all white-collar roles and push... | Dario Amodei, CEO of AI startup Anthropic, has warned that artificial intelligence could wipe out half of all white-collar roles and push U.S. unemployment to as high as 20%.
Speaking to U.S. news outlet Axios on May 28, Amodei said executives and policymakers must stop "sugar-coating" the scale of potential mass layoffs in sectors like technology, finance, and law, and instead be transparent with workers about the threat. "Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen," he said. "It sounds crazy, and people just do not believe it."
A January survey by the World Economic Forum found that 41% of employers expect to reduce their workforce due to AI automation by 2030. "Advances in AI and renewable energy are reshaping the (labor) market – driving an increase in demand for many technology or specialist roles while driving a decline for others, such as graphic designers," the WEF said in a statement at the time.
Amodei, whose company is behind the Claude chatbot, predicted that the job market fallout would unfold over the next one to five years. At the same time, he said AI would likely deliver massive gains for the economy and accelerate breakthroughs in healthcare. "Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced — and 20% of people do not have jobs," he said. As of now, the U.S. unemployment rate stands at 4.2%, according to the New York Post.

His warning comes as Anthropic races against tech giants like Google, Meta, and OpenAI to develop artificial general intelligence, or AGI, AI with human-level or even superior cognitive abilities. Amodei, who co-founded Anthropic in 2021 after leaving OpenAI, joins a growing list of tech leaders expressing concerns over AI’s labor market impact.
Earlier this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussed the expanding role of AI within his company. "Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of mid-level engineer that you have at your company that can write code," he said during an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai warned that AI would significantly affect "knowledge workers," including writers, accountants, architects, and software engineers.
However, a study published this month by economists Anders Humlum and Emilie Vestergaard at the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research found that while AI chatbots assist in task completion, they have yet to produce a "significant impact" on the workforce, as reported by Fortune magazine."AI chatbots have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation," the researchers stated.
The study surveyed 25,000 workers across 7,000 workplaces in Denmark—where AI adoption and labor practices are similar to the U.S.—and focused on roles vulnerable to AI disruption. The researchers found no mass job displacement, nor did they observe notable changes in productivity or wage increases for AI-equipped workers. | 2 weeks ago | VnExpress International | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 49 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

By Craig Hale published February 10, 2025
AI is causing tech sector layoffs, report claims
Tech sector layoffs rose from 98,000 (3.9%) to 152,000 (5.7%) in just one month
Software development and white-collar jobs could be most at-risk
In-person and skilled roles remain competitive
New Wall Street Journal reporting has revealed an alarming trend within the tech sector – much like sceptics anticipated years ago, artificial intelligence looks to be displacing human workers and leading to higher unemployment rates.
The report found IT sector unemployment rates rose from 3.9% in December to 5.7% in January, or from 98,000 to 152,000 Janco Associates analysis of the US Department of Labor data.
More broadly, 143,000 new jobs were added in January 2025 to the US economy, albeit at a slower rate than optimal.
AI is costing IT jobs
In fact, white-collar and knowledge workers are seen as the most at-risk when it comes to AI-induced job displacement. Jaco Associates CEO Victor Janulaitis commented: “Jobs are being eliminated within the IT function which are routine and mundane, such as reporting, clerical administration.”
Companies are also reducing their reliance on programmers and system designers in the hope that artificial intelligence can deliver further cost savings. The number of software development job posts dropped 8.5% year-over-year in January 2025.
Although last year's pattern was considerably lower than 2023, when layoffs.fyi tracked 264,000 tech sector redundancies, as estimated 152,000 tech workers still lost their jobs in 2024 – nearly as many as the 165,000 workers who lost their jobs in 2022.
Recent notable job losses include Sonos (12% of its headcount), Meta (5%), Microsoft, Amazon and Google. | 4 months ago | TechRadar | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 50 | AI unemployment rate | 2025-06-17 14:02:39 | null |

by Josh Howarth
Last Updated: June 17, 2025
The year 2025 is adding even more momentum to significant changes AI is already causing to the job market.
As AI tools become increasingly powerful, and with highly anticipated LLM models like ChatGPT 5 likely to be launching for general use soon, more people are at risk of having their job fully automated. Manus, dubbed the first general-purpose AI agent, launched earlier this year.
However, will AI really put most people’s jobs at risk, or is the reality more nuanced?
In this article, we’ll explore dozens of statistics covering the who, what, where, and when of AI replacing jobs — and creating new ones.
### Key Statistics About AI Replacing Jobs (Editor’s Picks)
* 300 million jobs could be lost to AI
* AI could force 14% of all workers to change career by 2030
* 47% of all US workers could see their roles come under threat from AI in the next decade
* Automating half of current tasks worldwide could take another 20 years
* 60% of the jobs in advanced economies are at risk of being replaced by AI
* But just 26% of jobs in low-income countries are similarly exposed
* And only 3% of workers with less than a high school diploma are in work considered "most exposed" to AI job losses
* Workers aged 18-24 are 129% more likely than workers aged over 65 to worry that AI will make their job obsolete
* 15% of workers in the US would consider having an AI boss
### AI’s Potential Impact on the Job Market
AI may replace 300 million jobs, which represents 9.1% of all jobs worldwide. Potential job losses will not be evenly distributed across different sectors of the economy. Instead, they will likely be concentrated in the professions most vulnerable to being automated via generative AI tools.
Globally, 20 million manufacturing jobs could be replaced by automated tools by 2030. Most of these automated tools are robots, not strictly AI, but some of these lost jobs will be replaced with new AI tools.
By 2030, 14% of employees will have been forced to change their career because of AI. That’s 14% of the global workforce, or 375 million workers.
Wall Street expects to replace 200,000 roles with AI in the next 3 to 5 years. A 2025 Bloomberg Intelligence survey of 93 major banks including Citigroup, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs found that workforces would be cut by an average of 3% by 2030 at the latest.
75% of CEOs think generative AI will significantly change their business within the next three years. A large majority of business leaders polled by PwC foresaw the need for training in new skills, improving cybersecurity protocols, and a host of other changes — all due to the introduction and adoption of generative AI.
80% of the US workforce could have at least 10% of their tasks impacted by large language models. Practically every job involves some tasks that are vulnerable to being automated by AI. Only a small minority of workers are totally unexposed to AI.
More than 7.5 million data entry jobs will be lost by 2027. This represents the largest predicted loss of jobs of any profession. The professions that are predicted to lose the most jobs are those extremely vulnerable to AI.
41% of employers worldwide intend to reduce their workforce because of AI in the next five years. The 2025 Future of Jobs report found that 92 million roles could be displaced by 2030, although it forecast a net gain of 78 million new jobs.
47% of US workers are at risk of losing their jobs to automation over the coming decade. In this case, automation also includes non-AI tools like robots.
It will take at least 20 years to automate just half of current worldwide work tasks. While the potential economic gains from automation are great, they are a difficult potential to fully realize.
### AI’s Current Impact On the Job Market
30% of US companies have replaced workers with AI tools like ChatGPT. According to a Resume Templates survey of nearly 1,000 US business leaders, 90% of companies have already adopted AI.
From January to early June 2025, 77,999 tech job losses were directly linked to AI. Cuts at Amazon and Microsoft among others contributed to 491 people losing their jobs to AI every day.
40% of companies that are adopting AI are automating rather than augmenting human work. That’s according to the CEO of AI giant Anthropic, who also notes that the ratio is moving further toward automation.
Since 2000, automation has resulted in 1.7 million manufacturing jobs being lost. The introduction of automotive tools is also linked with increased competition, lower wages, and other negative effects beyond job loss.
13.7% of US workers report having lost their job to a robot. AI has already displaced hundreds of thousands of workers.
### Which Careers Are Exposed to AI?
Two-thirds of all jobs in the US and Europe are exposed to automation. That doesn’t mean these jobs are all going to be fully automated. Exposure to automation just means that some of the tasks involved in a particular career can be automated.
40% of jobs worldwide are exposed to AI. Hundreds of millions of people still lack access to the internet. As technology continues to spread around the world, the proportion of workers exposed to AI — and therefore to being automated — may well increase.
60% of jobs in advanced economies could be impacted by AI. “Impacted” is a deliberately neutral term. According to the IMF’s report, about half of those impacted by AI will be benefited. The other half will be negatively impacted.
19% of workers are employed in the jobs most exposed to AI. To calculate which jobs were most exposed to AI, researchers at Pew ranked professions based on how much workers relied on tasks that could be fully automated.
27% of workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher are employed in jobs most exposed to AI. Workers with higher levels of educational attainment were more likely to be employed in professions considered most exposed to AI.
Workers in jobs considered most exposed to AI earned $13.3/hr more than those in jobs least exposed to AI. Better-paid jobs are currently more at risk of being lost to AI.
Widespread adaptation of current automation tech could affect half of the world economy. That represents some 1.2 billion employees and $14.6 trillion in wages.
### AI Replacing Work Tasks
34% of all business-related tasks are already performed by machines. The remaining 66% of tasks are performed by humans.
Technology and machines play at least some role in 53% of work tasks. The 2025 Future of Jobs report found that only 47% of work tasks are mainly performed by humans alone.
25% of all work tasks could be done by AI. Some jobs involve more tasks that could be entirely automated by AI.
19% of US workers could see more than half of their tasks impacted by AI. In this case, “AI” refers specifically to systems that are equivalent to OpenAI’s GPT-4.
Tasks that are highly exposed to AI are important in 77% of all jobs. As things stand, AI is far better at some tasks than others.
19% of US workers could have at least half of their tasks impacted by LLMs. The number of workers who could see the majority of their job automated is relatively small at the minute.
Employers think 34% of tasks will be fully automated by 2030. That actually represents a significant decrease from 2023 predictions, when employers predicted that 42% of tasks would be wholly automated by 2027. | 2 weeks ago | Exploding Topics | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 1 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

Employment in the buggy-whip industry is about 0%. That’s the example economists cite when they talk about technology and employment. As automobiles replaced horses, industries based on the old order shut down. The Industrial Revolution left millions unemployed, their jobs rendered obsolete by machines.
Today, automation, artificial intelligence, and a worldwide digital communications network serve as an empowering platform for unprecedented innovation. More inexpensive goods, less tedious work, and previously unimaginable levels of personalization are just some of the ways our lives are likely to improve through the sheer power of technology.
Nevertheless, this unprecedented new age of progress also heralds a period of great challenges and uncertainty, especially when it comes to employment.
## Key Automation Job Loss Statistics for 2025
* More than a third of all business tasks are performed by machines in 2025.
* Robots and autonomous systems will displace 5 million jobs by 2030.
* 77% of employers in 2025 plan to train their employees to work alongside AI.
* AI is set to replace more than 41% of jobs in the next five years.
* The global human augmentation market is valued at $492.06 billion in 2025.
## Sailing Into The Brave New World
There is no doubt that automation is a powerful force for change and that it is already reshaping the world. Each technological leap has brought huge disruptions to the way the economy works and the types of jobs that people do. And the coming revolution promises to be bigger and more disruptive than any that came before.
The age of robotics and artificial intelligence could bring a catastrophic crisis due to job loss fallout, but it also presents an incredible opportunity to create a better life for everyone.
The worker of the future will increasingly be required to have knowledge in areas like programming and design as our place in the workforce moves from manual labor into positions that require more critical thinking and planning.
The statistics we collected show that our competitive nature will play a big part in the fusion of machines and humans. A vast majority of people already admit that they would willingly use technology to improve their brains and bodies just to keep the edge with the competition, and that number is sure to increase as we move forward.
All of this means that by 2050 our world is likely to look much different. We get to decide how human workers will fit into that world, and it is imperative that we choose wisely. | 5 months ago | Fortunly | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 2 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

The proliferation of artificial intelligence has understandably set off alarm bells for workers concerned about losing their jobs to a computer.
Professional, scientific, and technical services sector workers, previously insulated from the automation of work, may be particularly stressed. The sector, which includes jobs in software development and data science, boasts some of the highest rates of on-the-job generative AI use, according to AI research firm Anthropic.
But tech workers might not have as much to worry about as one might think, according to new research by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Employment in the professional, scientific, and technical services sector is forecast to increase by 10.5% from 2023 to 2033, more than double the national average.
According to the BLS, the impact AI will have on tech-sector employment is highly uncertain. For one, AI is adept at coding and related tasks. But at the same time, as digital systems become more advanced and essential to day-to-day life, more software developers, data managers, and the like are going to be needed to manage those systems.
### Key Takeaways
* Employment in the professional, scientific, and technical services sector—which employs software developers and data scientists—is expected to increase by more than 10% between 2023 and 2033, more than double the national average.
* The proliferation of artificial intelligence is expected to be a primary driver of growing demand for tech workers in the next decade.
* Data scientist, information security analyst, and information research scientist—all essential for the development and management of AI—are expected to be some of the fastest-growing jobs in the country.
Within the sector, employment in the computer systems design industry is projected to grow the fastest, increasing by nearly 20% over the decade. The "continued adoption of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence" is expected to be one of the main drivers of demand for workers in this industry, according to the BLS report's author Elka Torpey.
At the occupation level, data scientists are expected to have the fastest employment growth, with an increase of nearly 42%. That's faster than a BLS forecast from August, when researchers estimated data science employment would increase 36%, making it the fourth-fastest growing occupation in the country. Other fast-growing tech occupations include information security analyst (+41%) and computer and information research scientist (+32%). | 3 months ago | Investopedia | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 6 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

By Steve Burns
The American job market is undergoing a significant transformation. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. economy will add 6.7 million jobs by 2033. However, this represents an annual growth rate of just 0.4%, considerably slower than the 1.3% yearly growth recorded over the previous decade. More than 600,000 middle-class positions could disappear within this shifting landscape, primarily due to automation, artificial intelligence, and demographic changes.
This slowdown in job growth is primarily tied to broader population trends. The BLS projects that the civilian noninstitutional population will grow at just 0.6% annually through 2033—the slowest growth rate since the Bureau began publishing this data. With population growth concentrated among older age groups who participate less in the labor force, the overall participation rate is expected to fall from 62.6% in 2023 to 61.2% by 2033.
Despite these challenges, several middle-class careers are positioned to survive and thrive. These occupations share common elements: they require a human touch and hands-on skills or address the needs of an aging population—factors that technology can’t easily replace.
Here are the seven middle-class jobs that will most likely thrive while others disappear by 2033, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
1. Medical Assistants: Growing Healthcare Demand Creates Opportunities
Medical assistants represent one of the brightest spots in the middle-class job market; the BLS projects jobs in this sector will grow by 15% from 2023 to 2033—much faster than the average for all occupations. Based on 2023 data, this translates to approximately 119,800 projected openings annually, with a median pay of $42,000 per year.
2. Truck Drivers: E-Commerce Boom Ensures Steady Demand
Heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers are projected to see 5% growth through 2033, adding approximately 102,000 new jobs to the economy. The outlook for local and last-mile delivery drivers is even more impressive, with a projected 9% growth rate. Truck drivers earned a median annual wage of $54,320 in 2023.
3. Construction Laborers: Infrastructure and Housing Needs Drive Growth
Construction trades workers are projected to grow by 6.3% through 2033, adding nearly 239,000 new jobs to the economy. The BLS projects the construction sector’s annual growth rate at 0.5%—five times higher than the average for all industries.
4. Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counselors: Human-Centered Care in High Demand
Among the fastest-growing occupations in America, mental health and substance abuse counselors are projected to see 19% growth from 2023 to 2033. This expansion will increase the workforce from approximately 450,000 to 534,000 professionals.
5. Electricians: Skilled Trades Resist Automation
Electricians expect robust job growth of 11% through 2033, significantly faster than the average for all occupations. With a median annual wage of $61,590 in 2023, this skilled trade offers solid middle-class earning potential.
6. Accountants: Financial Expertise Beyond Automation
Business and financial operations jobs, including accountants, are projected to grow faster than the 4% average for all occupations, adding about 1.7 million new jobs from 2023 to 2033.
7. Registered Nurses: Critical Care in an Aging Society
The nursing profession is at the intersection of several powerful trends. The BLS projects nearly 2 million job openings for registered nurses between 2023 and 2033.
The seven occupations highlighted share key characteristics that make them resistant to automation and outsourcing. They generally require physical presence and hands-on work that can’t be performed remotely or by machines, complex decision-making in unpredictable environments, empathy and interpersonal skills that remain difficult to replicate technologically, and specialized knowledge that requires continuous adaptation.
These qualities contrast with declining middle-class occupations in retail, routine office administration, and traditional sales roles.
A clear pattern emerges: middle-class jobs involving routine, predictable tasks are increasingly vulnerable, while those requiring uniquely human capabilities show remarkable resilience.
The BLS has introduced a new data product with the 2023–33 projections that provide information about essential skills by occupation, recognizing the shifting nature of work in the modern economy.
Technical skills remain valuable but must be paired with distinctly human capabilities. The jobs showing the strongest growth combine technical knowledge with soft skills like empathy, communication, and problem-solving flexibility.
The future of middle-class work will increasingly rely on roles that emphasize uniquely human capabilities. For those considering their career paths, focusing on fields that combine technical skills with human elements—healthcare, skilled trades, personal services, and complex analysis—offers the best protection against technological disruption.
Education and training pathways for these resilient careers vary widely. Some, like nursing and accounting, require formal degrees. Others, like electrical work and construction, often involve apprenticeships or vocational training.
What unites these diverse fields is their resistance to automation and their connection to enduring human needs. As the job market evolves, adaptability remains crucial—not just in specific technical skills but in developing distinctly human capabilities that technology can’t replicate. By focusing on these automation-resistant careers, workers can find stability and growth even as traditional middle-class jobs face disruption. | 1 month ago | New Trader U |

Posted on August 23, 2022
Self-checkout at the grocery store, electronic record keeping, even tax preparation. Increasingly, technology is automating tasks previously performed by people. While automation technology has changed some jobs, it has eliminated others entirely.
Today’s WatchBlog post looks at our new report about which kinds of workers are most at risk of losing their jobs to automation, and what skills they need to get in-demand jobs.
You can also listen to our podcast with GAO’s Dawn Locke, an expert on workforce training and education, to learn more.
Transcript
Who is at risk of losing their job to automation?
Workers with lower levels of education and who perform routine tasks—think cashiers or file clerks—face the greatest risks of their jobs being automated. However, automation is likely to have widespread effects. Researchers estimate that anywhere from 9% to 47% of jobs could be automated in the future.
To better understand the scope of automation’s effects, federal agencies are working to gather more data on how automation will affect the workforce. For example, the Department of Labor is planning to gather information from industries such as retail trade, healthcare, and transportation and warehousing to learn more about how automation is affecting jobs.
What are the in-demand skills for in-demand jobs?
Workers impacted by automation may need new skills to adapt to changing job requirements or get a new job.
The Department of Labor’s data indicate that the skills needed for in-demand jobs (meaning those jobs projected to grow fastest in the next 10 years) will include a mix of:
* soft skills—like interpersonal skills to successfully interact with people,
* process skills that help a person acquire knowledge quickly—like active learning and critical thinking, and
* specific technical expertise skills—like equipment maintenance.
The Department of Labor’s data also show that in-demand jobs with a greater number of “important” skills tend to require more education. Important skills include active listening, social perceptiveness, and critical thinking.
What challenges do workers face in getting those skills?
While research indicates that some in-demand jobs with skills like judgement and management might be more resistant to automation, workers trying to grow their skills face challenges.
For example, workforce stakeholders we interviewed for our new report told us that training programs sometimes focus on helping people get a job quickly, which could lead to a short-term or low-wage job. Others told us that workers face challenges accessing programs—for example, finding childcare or being in a training program without having a way to still pay bills.
How can organizations help workers overcome those challenges?
Workforce stakeholders we interviewed had a number of suggestions to address these challenges. For example, some stakeholders said that training programs should focus on in-demand skills needed for high-growth jobs that are less likely to be automated.
Research also noted that training should build on workers’ existing skills to help them build skills toward high quality jobs. Other stakeholders said training programs should help workers obtain industry-recognized credentials. Stakeholders also suggested that providing wraparound services, like childcare, and offering financial support can help workers access training, though they acknowledged the cost of that help.

Millions of workers lost their jobs in manufacturing. Many never returned to the labor force.
by Kai Ryssdal and Sofia Terenzio

"I think the bigger adjustment that's happened is for the workers that are entering the labor force, if they see all these changes that we're talking about, they can start college with a different mentality," says Matt Notowidigdo of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
It’s no secret that the American manufacturing sector has taken a huge hit over the last 50 years or so. In 1970, about a quarter of Americans were employed in manufacturing, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, compiled by the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank. Today, that number is much lower. As of 2023, only about 13 million people still work in manufacturing, which makes up less than 10% of those employed.
So, what happened to all those people who lost their jobs when the domestic manufacturing sector declined?
Matt Notowidigdo is a professor of economics and business at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. He joined “Marketplace” host Kai Ryssdal to discuss the manufacturing decline’s impact on workers. Below is an edited transcript of their conversation.
**Kai Ryssdal:** With the acknowledgement that this is only a half hour program, what, broadly speaking, happened to American manufacturing in the last like 50-ish years? Just to set the table.
**Matt Notowidigdo** : Thanks for the reminder that it’s only half an hour. So, I would say the broad consensus among labor economists is that the decline in manufacturing comes primarily from two main forces. The first is technological changes that have resulted in essentially the automation of work. You could think of manufacturing firms replacing workers with industrial robots, and that’s been going on for several decades. And then the second main factor is what we call the “China shock,” which is just simply the sharp increase in Chinese imports that started around the early 2000s when China entered the WTO. So, think of these as being the two main push factors that led to the decline in the demand for manufacturing workers.
**Ryssdal** : So on that topic, manufacturing workers, which is why we’re here, the BLS, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says, give or take, the American economy has lost 7.5 million manufacturing jobs since 1980. Here’s my question: Where did they go?
**Notowidigdo** : It’s a good question. A lot of them, sadly, just left the labor market. So you know another fact to keep in mind is that the number of workers, the employment population ratio, has been falling for many decades.
**Ryssdal** : Layman’s terms, employment population ratio is for those unfamiliar?
**Notowidigdo** : So the employment population ratio is the number of workers that are employed divided by the total population of workers who could be working, right? And that ratio has gone down by several million over the last couple of decades, and a lot of that’s coming from declining manufacturing.
**Ryssdal** : So what happened to these people? I mean, some of them left the labor force, which I want to follow up on in a second. Some of them didn’t. What kinds of jobs are they doing now?
**Notowidigdo** : Well, when workers lose their job in manufacturing, as I said, a lot of them struggle to get back in finding another job, and if they really struggle to find another job, then they leave the labor force. They don’t work. They go to early retirement. In some cases, they collect government benefits, like Social Security and Disability Insurance. For the workers that have higher levels of education, they tend to just find a way to move out of manufacturing and do something else.
**Ryssdal:** Like?
**Notowidigdo** : Well, it’s hard to say because we don’t have great data tracking workers over time, in panel data. In some of the research I’ve done, it looks like some of them took jobs in the sectors that were booming. Like during the housing boom that people might remember. So you know, in early 2000s, 2003, 2004, 2005, house prices were booming. Construction was going up a lot. Real Estate jobs were going up a lot. It does look like those jobs provided an opportunity for manufacturing workers that had lost their jobs in the early 2000s.
**Ryssdal** : It’s been a while since this has been in sort of the ether out there, but there was a point in this economy, I’m gonna say, like 10 to 15 years ago, where there was a lot of talk about job retraining programs and government investment in that. Did that go anywhere? What happened to that?
**Notowidigdo** : We’ve been trying job training for a really long time, and it’s really hard. It’s hard to come up with training programs that look effective when people are older. You know, I think the bigger adjustment that’s happened is for the workers that are entering the labor force, if they see all these changes that we’re talking about, they can start college with a different mentality. They could go to college in the first place and try to do something else. That seems like that’s been a much bigger factor than retraining, which we don’t have a lot of successes to point to, unfortunately.
**Ryssdal** : Can I ask you about the towns and the people in the towns where these, mostly men, lost their jobs? You know, much has been made of the Rust Belt and hollowed out American cities and all that. What happened to the to the people in these towns, the families of these again, I’m assuming, mostly men, who lost their jobs?
**Notowidigdo** : Well, one of the sad consequences is in people’s health outcomes. When workers in manufacturing lose their jobs, suppose there’s mass layoffs from like a plant closure, it looks quite bad for people’s health. So, mortality rates spike up. People in middle age end up being more likely to die prematurely. A kind of silver lining that I’ve seen in more recent research is that when you go and look at the younger generation of people who are observing what’s happening around them, what we found is that in those areas that are most effective, you see people disproportionately increasing the likelihood they go to college. They decide to get a four year college degree, rather than just entering the labor force with a high school education, and that turns out to offset some of the income declines that you might have otherwise observed, because as long as the college education pays off, this is an investment that you’re making for your lifetime, that provides one way that you can try to adjust to the ongoing manufacturing decline. | 6 months ago | Marketplace.org | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 10 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

## Main Text
Past studies on technological change have suggested that occupations involving routine and manual tasks will face a higher risk of automation-related job transformation. However, recent advances in artificial intelligence challenge prior conclusions, as AI is increasingly able to perform non-routine and cognitive tasks. These advances have the potential to affect a broader segment of the labour force than previously thought.
The study provides experimental estimates of the number and percentage of workers in Canada potentially susceptible to AI-related job transformation. Results from the 2016 and 2021 censuses of population suggest that, on average, about 60% of employees in Canada could be exposed to AI-related job transformation, and about half of this group are in jobs that may be highly complementary with AI.
Unlike previous waves of automation, which mainly transformed the jobs of less educated employees, AI is more likely to transform the jobs of highly educated employees. Despite facing potentially higher exposure to AI-related job transformation, highly educated employees may be in jobs that could benefit from AI technologies.
Exposure to AI-related job transformation is higher for employees in professional, scientific and technical services; finance and insurance; information and cultural industries; educational services; and health care and social assistance. However, education and health care professionals are more likely to be in jobs that are highly complementary with AI.
The study adopts the complementarity-adjusted AI occupational exposure index and applies it to data from the 2016 and 2021 censuses of population. The experimental estimates presented in this study are largely based on the technological feasibility of automating job tasks. Employers may not immediately replace human labour with AI, even if it is technologically feasible to do so, because of financial, legal and institutional constraints.
The index used in this study is subjective and based on judgments regarding some current possibilities of AI. Consequently, the applicability of the index may decrease over time as AI capabilities grow and AI can perform an increasing number of tasks currently done by human workers. Alternative measures of AI exposure could provide further insights. Future research could also attempt to answer the question, “What happened to workers whose jobs were exposed to AI-related job transformation?” | 9 months ago | Statistique Canada | data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAHcAAABCCAMAAABaULmmAAAA5FBMVEX////G2fH/AABVjtX4+Pj5+fn8/PzAy9j09PTvDQ3w8PDg4OD3///q6urj4+O/v7/X19fKysq4uLjR0dHHz9t+nMa/zN24zOWOqMtFhtNOi9Uwic5+aqCxsbFBfcbM3vRGis7qFSBah8DHNE/hY2PvAAClpaVEluHJLEPl29vj7+/hh4eRkZGcnJzoY2N7e3veAABlZWW7wcmpu9KTpL2tuMgycbg6YZNLfr1AaqBGdK9tmcMge792YJqnn7XnXlrTZ2rCcX23DzbEAACtAADGBy7Kk5nRAADUjIy6OztQdKSjq7edYRUQAAAGjElEQVRYhd1Zi3YTNxBdWkkRUqTRo2kIrULa4m0JdhMIlAClL/ru//9P7+yu7ZVxXiYkp70+Xu+ORhrN1UgjaxuTSjudTZsj39wstMFH3LDRphHTGCgHSmGmQihpmpOdNRSTbY9iCDnY3FiLa7asFB1FATkK8M0qZDtt+NbmWcY1oHpIxRpnA8O70ObgA1GIog1oZxZ6u5QppVJSmam2RNymtjTUJipte0RlFglPlGfTNIst1FprqZ1xhRJb0balbVirTGeEKrGl1EaaijijDPUcqUUp5KhIXfulsytN0wTJd7lpjHW4sS47Z7lPFTHjB/kuceqC8hW4JyXEcjQFjmzkH0PoepxdYaw2glSNEFIJKSWYFyo0Wgmh9Ie2e0sQxhjnvDESF/5o425iVvEkwvSgZLOPOcZMRDe9hNwklNDqYq3rh4vFGAs83Roj2B65kj71vdRXyk+voryVWQR/4a1jjz+9M8LuPLT8WHrnk3lvtyplfRnl3ZNezCsTB5AUao3dSzV1hvJgYan8gHFycod/FnZdsU5j0ajtGtlB2dquGsRb5ymf7FbKzbOdMTzEbHc9z5v6+2CJhfLO/RH25v6qzXk+OamV7b0xni/tfrzEwq4twWms0Cs8iw5yhWfZiweeT571yq4Xy7A3duye6pVru/e9FHJYmK6LZ7s3NnDvfH9vy67meF7wPB+yS/E8t7vkubJ7Ps9SyZG/q6Fyyzw/X10Kdkc42chuuEw879Y8Nzv7I3xX83zw4nSwW/H88sVKPMsN4qpyYd/U/p4efLB4Ptfu5Xj2dPX1eWjq9LT3z82VV+xWygu7w/osjNjU31cv38Pf2+LZtEM8j1LJgwvWjRW7G60b2KZ3/u58OcIrdb6/rz8b4fuFv28+X+LND5fjeSjtQ2X/Ars/fjTG3O6jSvp40cmDEfbndkXq1mdVh4qWC57HqXygbvvh2MBk4Fmt2N0eeP7p7hdL3D0ceNauj+fXX4+wN/9Dd0Yqr+1e4G+l/NHhCs8/fzXCL9uLEK1S+TXaNeSZ5+1vq6YORRWir06rED2f58mk4nl7xe7As/G687e2u/S34/2gp3/F37e/rvN38vZ4nb/Hx+t57u1Ojmu7j377ZoTf34Pn4z9quzp7Xp8HnofSyfaw5K6GaC9e5Vmdp7w6vkqqbh6BZ3kmz0NT66m7kr8Lu2t5PsPuPFSu027A/31j9MPJ3SWOD00HncfSyZ+6F4ta2a9Vfjwob1fKEwux7bwVjQa2KwgW8TK2IhadVNRSKXp1WYv1gHdbHv3j1uRJBD6hc8FS6KmLFs+QxWht8Bb3EQnSQZBDMIEPJXxwmYLtJ10M/AkWF5vzvGkfcu6qQBpzU0Oa7KU13oJ17bvzMzQUgnbeAd5ZaYz3Hh2SDr/ZC2esE1hmUatP1/j/7vjEzXtH2rmFS6iM/9poIxrvmsvAUoS/RCYaCgR3O69yCiFFhw8QyBHKrvcMyMEh7YyTRvFZk+DeGicMy5RrIOPszdFzM4ckqRC1BcNeCqX2Ns72hLlY578NBWBr3PAhqubjYXXxqe91IFJMqfUY4dCaNqXIdzdi+f81pGp8Zq/Gv2pxfq+6c775g1p/yH+1Ke3+yrz+EKWEG0vFEw8oJYhK7Ncl9XdMBTosjeRSLoZwwUPh8e7XYPdPjMV2NXO5RB8kFmD4oDlsu8vw28XxMLRioSMR1ZzAuzLVE6HnPHBl1lE3s5pdAe906LwerskB6syHM9oyT2g2a32gghRDsfURw1nIl4CnkjE4FiNkY0JeSp6HXBeMKIqQiWyMuaWQqLCmQvJKMSE4kKagaTkAUBAoIW1FLko58/RHWlMOu3MkFS2VFlYj/QiJfTyPidDC8HG88RhECYlkTdsI3fBrH+w7oCcMNFFZcGri/Tv/m3dYz1ATJRherGpdQ1JwDSmU4uSluW9JevjFnhJnW4QmOmVSV8TdixzecDDCAYfwZEbAjokUSh/tRNlScixAWeAmPMhIPAVSYCczoVGLRIYWeXnjTVQfi4ajD5PPNhYxGhCo0vGugaPUe2sNlIzhOBa2813wa0fHs5rZ4UgWXejzWzD4rNg9BDx/OLK7sJasrvi9ZJswyeBa8fyyEXsr9CwRUqxF1x1mJGYyWXhrXcmtYw9T9MW13nebr82yggj83spgT9W9t3IYJ6fhb9AYVq1hDJsLlGDz5D1G02tI+B0XahiPPbDHLstZx/sybESwifIiOH/RhP0XGTnHRBgno5QAAAAASUVORK5CYII= | 11 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

## About a fifth of all workers have high-exposure jobs; women, Asian, college-educated and higher-paid workers are more exposed. But those in the most exposed industries are more likely to say AI will help more than hurt them personally
By Rakesh Kochhar
July 26, 2023
Pew Research Center conducted this study to understand how American workers may be exposed to artificial intelligence (AI) at their jobs. The study emphasizes the impact of AI on different groups of workers, such as men and women and racial and ethnic groups, and it includes new survey findings on how American adults think AI will impact them personally, setting it apart from preceding analyses.
Artificial intelligence (AI) recently gained new attention with the release of ChatGPT and Dall-E. These tools and the broader array of AI-driven business applications represent a new reality for workers.
In 2022, 19% of American workers were in jobs that are the most exposed to AI, in which the most important activities may be either replaced or assisted by AI.
23% of workers have jobs that are the least exposed to AI, in which the most important activities are farther from the reach of AI. Other workers, nearly six-in-ten in all, are likely to have varying levels of exposure to AI.
Jobs with a high level of exposure to AI tend to be in higher-paying fields where a college education and analytical skills can be a plus.
Certain groups of workers have higher levels of exposure to AI
Those with more education: Workers with a bachelor’s degree or more (27%) are more than twice as likely as those with a high school diploma only (12%) to see the most exposure.
Women: A greater share of women (21%) than men (17%) are likely to see the most exposure to AI. This is because of differences in the types of jobs held by men and women.
Asian and White: Asian (24%) and White (20%) workers are more exposed than Black (15%) and Hispanic (13%) workers.
Higher-wage workers: In 2022, workers in the most exposed jobs earned $33 per hour, on average, compared with $20 in jobs with the least amount of exposure.
Workers seem more hopeful than concerned about the impact of AI on their jobs
A recent Pew Research Center survey finds that many U.S. workers in more exposed industries do not feel their jobs are at risk – they are more likely to say AI will help more than hurt them personally. For instance, 32% of workers in information and technology say AI will help more than hurt them personally, compared with 11% who say it will hurt more than it helps. | 22 months ago | Pew Research Center | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 13 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

December 20, 2024
by Sagar Joshi
Payroll is a business enabler.
It enables companies to compensate their employees for the amount of hours they work. But it poses administrative and financial strain on HR and payroll teams since they need to reconcile account, reimburse expenses and calculate taxes.
Along with that, Payroll and HR teams also need to regularize pay cycles, maintain tax guidelines and bookkeep finances. Proactively planning for these services with payroll software can regulate your monthly salary rollouts and keep employees happy. On the other hand, startups that don’t use in-house HR teams can outsource payroll to third party payroll agencies or HR freelancers.
Let’s look at 50+ payroll statistics to evaluate how businesses are managing their HR operations and finances in 2025
## Top 5 payroll statistics in 2025

## Payroll outsourcing statistics
Not every business has the resources or need to hire a full-time HR.

### Make payroll services error-free
Calculating all components of payroll processing is the first step to building employee trust. Being foggy on several deductions, tax repayment, or employee level of an employee would not just lead to wrong pay disbursement but increase payroll dissatisfaction. Switching to new, agile, and automatic payroll software to compute all parameters of an employee’s salary and manage individual work profiles would pave the way to stronger and positive workforce diversity.

Many clerical or secretarial roles are seen as likely to decline quickly because of AI, according to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2023.
But roles for AI and machine learning specialists, data analysts and scientists, and digital transformation specialists are expected to grow rapidly, the report adds.
Reskilling people to use AI effectively will be the key to companies being able to use the technology successfully, says Accenture.
How would you feel about working as a human alarm clock? It’s a job people used to do before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century. They would go around the dark, cold streets and tap on people’s windows with long sticks to wake them up for work.
The invention of the mechanical alarm clock changed all that, and many people are now asking which 21st-century jobs artificial intelligence (AI) and the Fourth Industrial Revolution could consign to the history books.
Professional services company Accenture describes the arrival of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT-4 as "a significant turning point and milestone in artificial intelligence ... [because] they've cracked the code on language complexity".
It estimates that 40% of all working hours could be impacted by large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT-4. "This is because language tasks account for 62% of the total time employees work," it says.
However, the good news is that this doesn't mean machines will simply replace humans. Accenture says that 65% of the time we spend on these "language tasks" can be "transformed into more productive activity through augmentation and automation".

People will be at the heart of successful AI use
The potential for AI to reshape the world of work means companies need to start learning now to avoid being left behind, Accenture says. A big part of this will involve ensuring their staff are developing the new skills that will be required in the age of AI.
"Success with generative AI requires an equal attention on people and training as it does on technology," Accenture says. "This means both building talent in technical competencies like AI engineering and enterprise architecture, and training people across the organization to work effectively with AI-infused processes."

How is the World Economic Forum ensuring the responsible use of technology?
It says companies need to break down existing roles into "underlying bundles of tasks" in order to understand where AI has a chance to save time and improve the way we work.
Once this has been established, organizations can upskill employees so that they are ready to take on new positions involving the use of AI. "There will also be entirely new roles to recruit, including linguistics experts, AI quality controllers, AI editors, and prompt engineers," Accenture says.

The jobs AI could create
The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2023 says that AI and machine learning specialists, data analysts and scientists, and digital transformation specialists are the most prominent emerging roles.
It predicts a 40% jump in the number of AI and machine learning specialists by 2027, a 30-35% rise in demand for roles such as data analysts and scientists or big data specialists, and a 31% increase in demand for information security analysts. This would add a combined 2.6 million jobs.
On the flipside, some jobs are seen as likely to decline quickly because of AI. These are mostly clerical or secretarial roles, and include bank tellers and data entry clerks.
Here are the top 10 jobs the Forum sees growing fastest – and declining fastest – in the next five years:

All this is leading companies to rethink their priorities when it comes to training staff to work with AI and big data. It is the number three priority in company training strategies to 2027, and number one for companies with more than 50,000 employees, the Future of Jobs Report 2023 says.
How AI will impact the future of jobs
The Forum's report also finds that workplace tasks are seen as no more automated now than they were three years ago. To some extent, that's because automation had been occurring already, the Forum's Managing Director, Saadia Zahidi, told the Radio Davos podcast.

Here's how artificial intelligence can benefit the retail sector
"But when it comes to very human traits like coordinating between people, like helping with decision-making and reasoning or communicating, that's where actually you see an uptick. That's where you see a greater prediction around automation than before.
"It's not surprising because we've all seen what is happening with generative AI and how fast that's getting adopted across various industries."
Artificial intelligence is expected to be adopted by nearly 75% of surveyed companies and to lead to high churn – with 50% of organizations believing it will result in job growth and 25% thinking it will create job losses, the Future of Jobs Report says.

July 2022
Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have led to substantial concern that large-scale job losses are imminent. Selected occupations are often cited as illustrations of technological displacement that is or will become a more general problem, but these discussions are often impressionistic. This article compiles a list of specific occupations cited in the automation literature and examines the occupations’ employment trends since 1999 and projected employment to 2029. There is little support in U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data or projections for the idea of a general acceleration of job loss or a structural break with trends pre-dating the AI revolution with respect to the occupations cited as examples. Offsetting factors and other limitations of the automation thesis are discussed.
Technological change has always attracted attention because of its potential effects on employment. Recent advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have attracted even more interest than usual, and the breadth and speed of these advances have raised the possibility of widespread job displacement in the near future. Many observers consider these new technologies fundamentally different from previous waves of computing technology. New computing capacities—in areas such as image recognition, robotic manipulation, text processing, natural-language processing, and pattern recognition, and, more generally, the ability to learn and improve rapidly in relatively autonomous ways—represent a break from the hand-coded, rules-based programs of the past. In this view, newer robots and AI represent a clear departure from previous waves of computing, one that accelerates the pace of technological change and job displacement.
Recent writings on automation and employment often refer to certain occupations in passing as examples of jobs that are currently affected by advanced robots and AI or are likely to be affected in the near future. These occupations may be intended as representative examples of general processes or the leading edge of trends that will eventually affect other occupations. Because the occupations are not examined in depth, a natural question is whether the expectations expressed in the automation literature are consistent with U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projections and recent employment trends for these occupations. There are also potential problems with representativeness in using individual occupations as exemplars. Because part of the workforce is being used as a stand-in for the whole, it is natural to ask whether these particular occupations are actually shrinking rapidly, as well as whether the general practice of citing individual examples has some inherent limitations that are worth bearing in mind.
This article assembles the individual occupations that widely cited recent works on automation consider highly vulnerable to substitution by robots and AI and examines their projected growth from 2019 to 2029. For context, the growth of these occupations over 2008–18 is compared with both the 2019–29 projections and the 2008–18 projections published a decade earlier. Finally, actual and projected growth in these occupations is compared with their growth over 1999–2009. In addition to providing trend data for the past 20 years and projections for the following 10 years, these data permit some consideration of the accuracy of the 2029 projections against the performance of the 2008–18 projections. This article does not examine overall trends by major occupational group, which is covered in a companion paper. Rather, it examines how well recent discussions of automation describe developments in the specific occupations that have been selected to illustrate general trends. The article also examines limitations surrounding any use of occupational examples to understand general employment trends.
Current automation discourse
Since the emergence of information and communications technology (ICT) in the late 1940s, the development of this technology has been uniquely dynamic. Both the power and breadth of applications of ICTs have grown rapidly. Milestones include mainframe computing, early manufacturing automation, minicomputers, microcomputers, the internet, and mobile computing, among others. From their inception, ICTs were understood as a watershed in the development of technology, with great potential for both abundance and displacement. Repeating periodic concerns raised earlier regarding mechanical technology, some observers in the 1950s and 1960s argued computers and industrial automation could lead to massive job losses. Responding to these concerns, congressional hearings, a series of studies by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and a multivolume report by a special presidential commission investigated the employment implications of computers and automation. However, when economic growth picked up in the late 1960s and unemployment fell to 3.5 percent, the issue faded into the background.
Concern regarding the impact of computers on jobs reemerged in the late 1980s. Economists became aware of a trend toward greater earnings inequality, which included increasing wage differentials between education groups. The dominant explanation was that new technology increasingly favored more educated workers. This concept of skill-biased technological change (SBTC) pointed to the spread of microcomputers as reducing the demand for less-skilled workers. When wage gaps between the middle and lower percentiles of the wage distribution stopped widening in the late 1990s, attention turned toward the possibility that declining labor demand affected middle-skilled jobs more than low-skilled jobs because their tasks were more codifiable and programmable. It was argued this made middle-skilled jobs more susceptible to automation than low-skill service jobs because service jobs require sensory perception, common sense, and other tacit skills that are difficult to replicate with algorithmic, if–then programming logic.
A new wave of computing has led to further revision regarding the effects of automation. Beginning in 2005 with the successful demonstration of self-driving vehicles, views of the capabilities of ICTs have expanded. A series of often unexpected and dramatic breakthroughs in AI and robotics have expanded the kinds of tasks that information technology can perform. | 35 months ago | Bureau of Labor Statistics (.gov) | data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBwgHBgkIBwgKCgkLDRYPDQwMDRsUFRAWIB0iIiAdHx8kKDQsJCYxJx8fLT0tMTU3Ojo6Iys/RD84QzQ5OjcBCgoKDQwNGg8PGjclHyU3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3N//AABEIAEIAdwMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAbAAABBQEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgMEBQYBB//EADkQAAIBAgUCBAQEBQMFAQAAAAECAwQRAAUSITETQQYiUWEycZGhFEKBsRUjYtHwUsHxVJOissMW/8QAGgEAAgMBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwQAAQIFBv/EACgRAAICAQMDAwQDAAAAAAAAAAABAhEDBBIhMUFRMoHBIjNCcRREYf/aAAwDAQACEQMRAD8ARJlOWin6b1RdTcuWqRdja2/k+ZwgZHllYqinlkkVAFGibVY/Ppnc4bgy7JIqeuHSAh0AS6aiQ3Fww/IPthLZf4bQGJOqPhZh1JDsbgf+pxpQj4KomjwlSNT9B/xRHxEhjuff+V88O/8A5qjWFATVeUgmzm7W7H+VxiDBT0VM4mo55gWUut6uUXU2uT5T/q+eH2zcU0JL1JChQ288jGzbjfRfE2R7lUSD4bpNauDUsqkMFZ2tzcjeLe+CXw9SSux/nrc7hWIBP/aw9JmQi3eo8vwixe58+n0w7BnWXGr/AAjzz9TTrFmcX4/uMTZHwShj+C07qepLPYbgGW3/AMhiNJ4Zo5QNc1QADfUarf25jxeGvoFgZ+pUlAQDaVuTb3xWL4o8PtCsy1FW0ZHOqX29+dxibIovkEyajWEw6xpI8rNVDUbix5T5YXQ5NQU0zMrqrsVC2qFY2B4+EWxOynMMszJ1NI9XIG7mWTSL353/AM2xLaWjgmQD8QXYhFBlYi7fM+xxShHwU07KerySmlYLKyEEjaSosb9hZVwR5TRJGJi8YX85/EbcWFj6WB5xO/jNAlSKcLKHEqx2sQAzFgvfi6NhEmf5bHR9fpzGIOENiQdR1f1f0nF7I+CckKGgoIgBGafvcdYtc4aGVZdHFNCBTeYHUnUc8j2xY/x3LJG0LHLr1KnBPxEgH4vbCf4zlzmEhJgJwSq6ewUn/V7HE2R8EpkB8npKinCOlN5jeytLa36H2wYmR5tST0sc0M06rIoIBiW4+v64MXt8FUdnyqhSOoQUM9pVs41HzcDm9uMRZMuoev1JKGSNdKqQ8w3Vb9te1rnFXSDPaqOqjVKoXjURvO5RSda9/lftha+GKyaJxW1yBpCpAWLURzcXJ359MFr/AA6Cgn0iWMNNRTACPL6orYRq9iFCXW4uW72+4wZhluWRUkq1MLmNANurvZVtbY7m2FTwNTwaqjNZXKLqZ5CNyO5t/bGSzDPKaBpFi/myg+Vi3xe9zyOd8T6V1KbhD1I0VJW5LmND+IlheliVmIFTdHuHDcA3O5FvpjtPT5SjyZglOzBAwLmRwbbflPbYcffGfyCqzPOKpWo2lTUvTaVW2QC5PmPFr8e9vQjeZTlJo6xKiLrT1wTQJ3e7W7gel974xG5GMSeS6XHkh00EWYUuunoysEu95GIB3FiADe30xU5nk+SZTSdL8G0plYhYVdtzYXtv7dz2xo/EVbV0aSlaaKSZQNX8xUX3N7Hcen7YxMbTV6mvaephrZWvBHDPE0OsL5O5Ivcg8dx7mSaLzThjVRXJrsjyujpIYKuliaPyXVHdgUU2utif3viZLHTyyRuqMsiMCrDi+/P+d8QfDUuctSuPEUUCTCQhPw7C2mw2P374uGjVkKrE/wDUd7fXGoq1wFWNZEqVMhiho+oW6EeoyiS5FzqFyD9z98NvluWmnEclPGIQwPNxexsdj/UcLk66Siy3RpEFrfCN7/7YZpswV45WnsoWQIL7W2++MtpPawVxUtrXI8mVZcH1RQRE3U97+U7fvhSZdlyqipTx2jBUW3tzsLG/BxyoggqtSzEEFSNxY/oRiHSUEGWSztTdWNpjq0SEuL+3/ONO12DONfiqJUeXwRxino46Tpxr5QUI0+nf0wYStVWQ2V6bV2JUbd/7ffBjCzQXDAuWLvx7DU+bUawFkmUWDEnVYAbevzGMJn3jKdpQMtlbpp8TEc3xKzXTHQVisAQY1Kq7Mw3IBsbi21+N8YyChqa11ihhdmLbAAkkHjbt35wKOeWRCn8vLmiPZpnlTXODJIxUXFhtcYk+EsjGf5kwmfTBENcvYsOw7fXFhk/gitnmU5n06aMn4LhmPyA2xusnyKPKYnFM4DsRdzH+W2/fjcfTBFjfWg2LTTbTki4oqKCnpVhplMcUajaIBQAP874zGb+OMvyjMp8vqDXLLFp1NGi2OpQw78C/BxbyZfXyJaed1GokNCxVrGwv+Xgcd8ee+IPBWZz5hWVq1KSq0m5kY6zsASbnb6na2JcvAfJLKuiJOZ+IJ8/jlpcmarqLpqeLoanC8Ekrf22t9eMWXh7w/XxVdPImWVTUsaCZj09Lb8syHfkED2974z/guLOcoraysyyHUIk6U0kqhYx5thq1jcna25PpjYUGc12YZiZ6GnRxMA0lRITpsoNljPezHdzsTe3O2GxGUpN8mqhq41XqSMkQB3Mh42G+FNWUrE6pCRsdQbY3/wB/b2x5VWr47zKseaekpYJZCRrKxXF+yliSP0tiZT+DvFixrVSZysBlYdVKcG4HBvYAHi1t8ahOVcdhyGfI19K6Hokk9MVVhI6hlNvMPNb9+3HriFJSw1UEppZB1XZWZr97bX+uIs9JRySJLPDVRuH+CCbZrXsdri+ne3PpjSU+QtSUcRCvpcBm1MSwuNhv8/0xqW7Jwy578zSkkjJS1dRR5rOpAK6boDwbXv8A8fPFxFXxyQDrvGI28p6gG/bC6qhp5lYNv6pbUR87YrZIHp6UxRO0sL6CHH7H1wGTzYeewJvPp1fVFlVZhl9BoVoY11LcAsfNxx/nbBjGzVSGueR1F+o5DJApLJc2vt74MYeoy3xEWlrstvbHj9GtnyJaiDRVLCyckG/pb++O0eV0WV07R0sEcSXVnOixPv7+mLF5oyulWR2DDa3H05N8MwsssbnoMsgJHv8AO3P1w5jwKKOti06jzQjVCt4pekzt6vY7mwG/b2whqlIJFj+N0PwmPcnbg8ev+DD0c4hjJSBkBW6gKNTN7/fnFaa6OGRlkMNpblWRSN+9/wC/sMG7DFpHautJdQJkjIIszaluT29xfGZqvEqnMYoIpwIi19TLYHex3vwcT66vZpUVnR9QbpswAAI5s231GPMqitY5gaiVlDCW5YKLj6YUyylupM5WszTTqDPWK3IRmeS1dPlssYFSRIQw0hm9bi/I7274heGJ5klGT5hULT5tFEGkGi+tL2W/uBYbX2tvzgyrxlk9JRRwRmWRV81+nYjEfxLmOX52tLLQyGjzeFtVHUSELqubaDf4g37/AKjGOe4Fq1fc1ZoOmBJVVEcoUg26ZAJ7fLfFgamF7RxKLArYLx9cZjJvEozmjnBjdZaVtDa4xaQqNzpJ8vrpJ2+uJ5mmnjjEbForXbexYm1jsL/tzgmOUYpxQ7p5QUdq6ljUJCxs8TlCNib3P9/li0o84np0WKeOSVCOSpN/txiqi5mEZdhpB1kafv3+/wB8OpaTS7yMwkOwYi7kbW0kbjnDKSkhvapJWi0rJKSpj1xdPqkeZGNyPYgfrjNyQSyzSRyS6CG/L6kXAFxY+m1+++LVUaEaCiyC9rIvO3e3bt+uByqTMjhQVF7C1wOOOQOd8RwbVIp47jtKiTJZJUVoqpgCOG7/AG+eDFjNO0LSMsMa06WU62HPzvt+oxzC7xTsSlpZXwhIJBp1HwsNx2PGGNTdKLzHdZL782NhgwYeOyh+QA5ZUPbzipkUN3AuNvljy6tnmlrqHqyyPcG+pib7PgwYW1HoZztb9r3+UVsrs3UVmJAiUgE8bE4qJgPxKCwtYH7YMGFfBy/yX6+WTctJWCRwSHAXzDndsE9VUKKdhPKG6se4c+owYMbZH1N94W2zbPAP+pB/8TifkjuKGpYMwIZ7G/FuMGDCs/uRA/2Ie5e5YqyU6GRQxEh3YX7KcWVMqmniuo/L298GDHTh6UeiXpI+aySRZhSLG7IrSgEKbX2xzMgA9MQLFpQCfUebBgwaBuHYXCAkkgQBQ4uwG2rfvgwYMVXJppWf/9k= | 18 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

Exposure to artificial intelligence in Canadian jobs: Experimental estimates
by Tahsin Mehdi and Marc Frenette
Release date: September 25, 2024
Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have raised questions about the future of work. Debates centre primarily around the possibility of AI displacing some human workers. Predicting the effects of technological transformation on the labour market is challenging. This is especially true for AI given the uncertainty surrounding the breadth of its potential; the pace of its development and implementation; and how workers, businesses and governments might react and adapt.
Past studies on technological transformation examined the potential impact of automation on the Canadian labour market (Frenette and Frank, 2020). Automation is generally understood to be the use of machines to perform simple, routine and non-cognitive tasks. AI, on the other hand, can perform complex, non-routine and cognitive tasks. AI’s capabilities are growing, and it is unclear how powerful it may be in the future.
While it is difficult to predict the net impact of AI on jobs in Canada, Mehdi and Morissette (2024)—integrating data from the 2016 and 2021 censuses of population with data from the Occupational Information Network—offer some experimental estimates of occupational exposure to AI using the methodology developed by Felten, Raj and Seamans (2021) and Pizzinelli et al. (2023). The measure used is the complementarity-adjusted AI occupational exposure index, which can classify jobs into three AI groups using the median AI occupational exposure index and complementarity scores: (1) high exposure and low complementarity, (2) high exposure and high complementarity, and (3) low exposure (regardless of the degree of complementarity). The first two groups consist of jobs that may be highly exposed to AI, but the first group may have relatively more tasks that could be replaced by AI in the future, while the second group may have relatively more tasks that are highly complementary with AI. The third group of jobs are those that may be less exposed to AI than the first two groups, regardless of the degree of complementarity.
Employers may not immediately replace human labour with AI, even if it is technologically feasible to do so, because of financial, legal and institutional constraints. Consequently, exposure to AI does not necessarily imply a risk of job loss. At the very least, it could imply a certain degree of job transformation. Given the uncertainty surrounding AI, the experimental estimates presented here should be interpreted with caution. Only time will tell how the impact of AI will unfold.
The majority of workers in Canada are in jobs that may be highly exposed to job transformation related to artificial intelligence, but about half of them could benefit from it
In May 2021, 31% of employees aged 18 to 64 in Canada were in jobs that may be highly exposed to AI and relatively less complementary with it, 29% were in jobs that may be highly exposed to and highly complementary with AI, and 40% were in jobs that may not be highly exposed to AI. These findings were largely unchanged compared with those of May 2016 and are consistent with international evidence from other advanced economies, such as the United States (Cazzaniga et al., 2024)
Jobs that could be highly exposed to AI-related job transformation are generally those that require higher education. Despite this, professions such as doctors, nurses, teachers and electrical engineers may be highly complementary with AI technologies. In contrast, professions such as those in business, finance, and information and communications technologies—which may also require higher education—have less potential complementarity with AI. However, this does not necessarily mean that these jobs will be in less demand in the future because of AI, as many of them are critical to the economy. Instead, AI could play a transformational role, leading to the creation of new tasks within these jobs, or to new jobs entirely.
Highly educated workers are more likely than their less educated counterparts to be in jobs that are highly exposed to job transformation related to artificial intelligence
While previous waves of technological transformation primarily affected less educated workers, AI may be more likely to affect more highly educated workers, because these workers are more likely to be in jobs that tend to have cognitive-oriented tasks. Certain groups of workers, such as those living in urban areas, women, higher earners and highly educated individuals, are more likely to be employed in jobs that could be highly exposed to AI-related job transformation than other groups. However, they are also more likely to be employed in jobs that could be highly complementary with AI. The AI exposure differences among these groups of workers are largely driven by differences in the mix of occupations they hold.

Despite increased hiring in the tech industry, generally it is observed that profitability per resource is on the decline
The tech industry has been one of the most resilient sectors in the face of the global pandemic and economic downturn. Many tech companies have reported increased revenues, profits, and market shares. However, this growth has also come with a cost: hiring more and more workers to meet the demand. While hiring more workers to expand the business and capture more opportunities, it also poses a challenge for tech companies: how to maintain or increase their profitability per resource? There are several factors that contribute to this decline, such as:
• Increased competition and price pressure from new entrants and existing rivals
• Higher wages and benefits for tech workers, especially in high-demand areas such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity
• Higher costs of acquiring and retaining customers, especially in saturated or mature markets
• Greater costs of innovation and research and development, as tech companies need to constantly invest in new products and services to stay ahead of the curve
• Increased costs of compliance and regulation, as tech companies face more scrutiny and oversight from governments and regulators
These factors suggest that tech companies need to rethink their hiring strategies and find ways to optimize their profitability per resource. Besides massive layoffs that happend in the tech industry in 2023, some possible solutions include the use of AI to leverage productivity per resource.

One of the top use cases for gaining a competitive edge is harnessing AI for cost reduction, increased productivity, and revenue growth
Businesses are leveraging AI across multiple functions to achieve cost reduction, increased productivity, and revenue growth. While AI adoption is at an early stage, there are opportunities for emerging markets to leapfrog more developed counterparts. The impact of AI on business is already evident, with significant cost reductions in business functions such as service operations, strategy and finance, and manufacturing.
In recent times, the integration of AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot has led to a remarkable increase in productivity for software engineers. These intelligent tools have proven to be invaluable assets, enabling engineers to complete coding tasks in record time, often surpassing expectations by finishing them in less than half the usual duration. This significant boost in coding efficiency has revolutionized the software development process, allowing engineers to allocate more time to higher-level problem-solving and innovation. Another example of AI application lies in the field of graphic design. By leveraging AI algorithms, it is now possible to generate stunning graphic designs within minutes at astonishingly low cost. In fact, our findings indicate, that AI can create a graphic design for as little as US$0.08, a negligible expense compared to the average cost of US$150 for human labor. This substantial cost reduction has opened up new opportunities for businesses and individuals, providing them with access to high-quality graphic design services at a fraction of the traditional cost.

AI can be used in a variety of areas, including healthcare to accelerate the creation of new treatments and reduce costs, or the semiconductor business, where up to US$95 billion in revenue could be additionally generated
The integration of AI in the pharmaceutical industry is transforming multiple facets of the business. AI applications are being utilized from target discovery to post-approval activities, automating processes, extracting insights from large-scale data, and facilitating stakeholder engagement. These solutions rely on diverse data sources, including chemical, biological, patient data, and literature. Companies like InSilico Medicine, BenevolentAI, Atomwise, and XtalPi specialize in leveraging scientific data for drug discovery, while others like Antidote and BullFrog AI optimize clinical processes using patient data. AI continues to play a crucial role in patient monitoring, compliance monitoring, and marketing optimization even after the development stage. Innovations such as CardioDiagnostics' wireless heart monitoring tools, AiCure's medication adherence smartphone app, and Eularis' sales and marketing analysis tools exemplify the wide range of AI applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, AI-powered chatbots like Novo Nordisk's Sofia are being employed to provide first-level responses to patient inquiries, enhancing efficiency and learning from each interaction.
Insilico Medicine, a founding member of NVIDIA Inception, has progressed to the next stage of its AI-discovered drug candidate, INS018_055, launching a phase 2 study for the anti-fibrotic small molecule inhibitor. INS018_055 was discovered using Insilico's proprietary Pharma.AI platform, which incorporates AI models trained on massive amounts of data, and its target identification platform, PandaOmics, which discovered a novel target. Insilico's generative chemistry platform, Chemistry42, designed the molecule's structure using machine learning techniques like deep generative models, reinforcement learning, and transformers. The pre-clinical candidate screening process typically takes about 5 years and costs an estimated US$674 million. However, AI technology has the potential to reduce the time taken by 72% and the costs to around a million US$. The use of AI in early-stage drug development could translate into several novel drugs over the next decade. While the data sets for drug development can involve millions of compounds, which can exceed the capabilities of current machine learning tools, AI technology shows immense potential in the drug discovery and screening phase in the drug development process.
According to research from Mckinsey, the semiconductor industry is currently earning between US$5 billion and US$8 billion annually from AI/ML, which is only about 10% of its full potential. However, within the next two to three years, AI/ML could generate between US$35 billion and US$40 billion in value annually. Over a longer time frame, this figure could rise to between US$85 billion to US$95 billion per year, which is equivalent to about 20% of the industry's current annual revenue. While customers will inevitably receive a significant portion of this value, early movers who capture it will have a competitive advantage that cannot be ignored.

Employers expect significant workforce restructuring with several job tasks at the risk of automation
It is evident that the labor market is poised for significant transformations in the coming years. Projections indicate that approximately 23% of current jobs will undergo changes by 2027, leading to the emergence of new job opportunities while also resulting in some job losses. This transition is expected to create approximately 69 million new jobs, but it is accompanied by the loss of around 83 million jobs over the next five years. Notably, automation holds the potential to revolutionize various sectors, with office and administrative support tasks being the most susceptible to automation, at a staggering 46%. Legal tasks closely follow with a potential automation rate of 44%. However, industries such as construction, building, and cleaning tasks exhibit lower possibilities for automation, with an average potential of around 25%. These statistics provide valuable insights into the changing dynamics of the labor market and emphasize the need for individuals and organizations to adapt to the evolving landscape.

The Growing demand for AI expertise also implies a shift towards more social, emotional, and technological skill requirements
The percentage of U.S. job postings that required AI skills increased across various sectors from 2021 to 2022, with a few exceptions. The top three sectors with the highest number of AI job postings in 2022 were information, professional, scientific, and technical services, and finance and insurance. This growth in AI job postings reflects the increasing investment and interest in AI technology. Venture capital firms and large tech companies have invested billions of dollars into AI, leading to massive AI-related job openings in the United States in 2022. The field of AI is expected to continue to grow, with a projected massive increase in AI jobs by 2030.
Mckinsey analysis reveals that the future workforce will undergo significant changes in the skills that will be in demand, driven by automation and AI. The most notable shift will occur in technological skills, encompassing advanced programming, data analysis, and tech design, as well as fundamental digital skills required in an increasingly digital workplace. Additionally, there will be a substantial increase in the demand for social and emotional skills, reflecting the importance of human interaction in a technology-driven world. This shift will also prioritize higher cognitive skills over basic cognitive abilities. On the other hand, the demand for physical and manual skills will continue to decline, although they will still play a significant role in the future workplace. To assess the pace of these skill shifts, historical data from 2002 to 2016 was analyzed in the United States and the trends until 2030 were projected. The results suggest that the demand for technological skills and social and emotional skills will experience accelerated growth during the 2016 to 2030 period. In contrast, basic cognitive skills and physical and manual skills will witness a decline in demand.

As we move into the future, we could see a transition to where AI will perform the majority of human tasks and enhance our capabilities
It is both fascinating and concerning to consider the timeline for the development of machines capable of performing human tasks. Although an optimistic projection suggests that nearly all tasks will be automated by 2060, it is essential to approach this future with a critical eye. There is no doubt that automation and AI have made significant advances in recent years, but the complete substitution of human labor raises many ethical, societal, and economic concerns. There is increasing concern about the potential displacement of millions of workers as a result of the advancement of machines, as well as the social upheaval that may result. Furthermore, it remains an open question as to whether machines are capable of replicating the nuanced skills, creativity, and emotional intelligence inherent in human tasks. Considering the consequences it is essential to ensure that the integration of machines into our society is guided by thoughtful regulations and ethical considerations in order to avoid the blind pursuit of progress at the expense of human welfare.

## Conclusion
Automation is coming near and almost every industry is getting ready to replace its human workforce with robotics. AI has already entered into the daily work duties of many employees. Although Technology Replacing Jobs Statistics show how it will negatively affect many lives without upskilling, it will still create many jobs that will be needed to look after such technology. | 16 months ago | Enterprise Apps Today | data:image/png;base64,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 | 21 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

In an era marked by rapid advances in automation and artificial intelligence, new research assesses the jobs lost and jobs gained under different scenarios through 2030.
It’s been a tumultuous few years for the labor market. First came the COVID-19 pandemic, a once-in-a-generation shake-up of our personal and professional lives. Since the pandemic, about 90 percent of organizations have instituted a hybrid work model that allows employees to work from off-site locations at least some of the time. Now, the efflorescence of AI and automation stands to reshape, again, how we approach work.
The question of the day is what shape that change will take. McKinsey’s latest analysis indicates that demand for high-skill workers will rise, particularly in healthcare and STEM-related professions. At the same time, demand for workers in occupations such as office staff, production workers, and customer service representatives will decline. Automation, supported by generative AI (gen AI) tools, is likely to play an increased role as well: current gen AI and other technologies have the potential to automate work activities that absorb up to 70 percent of employees’ time today. These shifts will mean that up to 12 million workers in Europe and the United States will need to change jobs. Lower-wage workers may need support in upskilling to be competitive in the new market.
But gen AI and automation don’t tell the whole story. Broadly, efficiency will be a key metric for success in the future of work. Of course, efficiency can be applied to a whole range of categories. More specifically, we believe efficiency will matter in the following ways:
* Deploying resources where they matter most. Efficiency is about more than managing immediate crises or getting the same work done with fewer resources. Forty percent of respondents point to complex organizational structure as a cause of inefficiency; a similar proportion cites unclear roles and responsibilities.
* Matching top talent with the highest-value roles. McKinsey research shows that in many organizations, up to 30 percent of critical roles aren’t filled by the most appropriate people.
* Building institutional capabilities to perform better than the competition. Only 5 percent of respondents to the most recent McKinsey State of Organizations Survey say their organizations have the capabilities they need.
How can organizations adapt to the technological, social, and economic shifts that will shape the future of work? Here are three points for leaders to consider:
* Calibrate ambition—develop a clear perspective toward change that suits the needs of the organization.
* Keenly focus on cultivating talent and investing in leadership that will take the company forward.
* Integrate all of these to ensure that at-scale change is possible.
The technology-driven world in which we live is a world filled with promise but also challenges. Cars that drive themselves, machines that read X-rays, and algorithms that respond to customer-service inquiries are all manifestations of powerful new forms of automation. Yet even as these technologies increase productivity and improve our lives, their use will substitute for some work activities humans currently perform—a development that has sparked much public concern.
We previously found that about half the activities people are paid to do globally could theoretically be automated using currently demonstrated technologies. Very few occupations—less than 5 percent—consist of activities that can be fully automated.
However, in about 60 percent of occupations, at least one-third of the constituent activities could be automated, implying substantial workplace transformations and changes for all workers.
While technical feasibility of automation is important, it is not the only factor that will influence the pace and extent of automation adoption. Other factors include the cost of developing and deploying automation solutions for specific uses in the workplace, the labor-market dynamics (including quality and quantity of labor and associated wages), the benefits of automation beyond labor substitution, and regulatory and social acceptance.
Taking these factors into account, our new research estimates that between almost zero and 30 percent of the hours worked globally could be automated by 2030, depending on the speed of adoption. We mainly use the midpoint of our scenario range, which is automation of 15 percent of current activities. Results differ significantly by country, reflecting the mix of activities currently performed by workers and prevailing wage rates.
The potential impact of automation on employment varies by occupation and sector. Activities most susceptible to automation include physical ones in predictable environments, such as operating machinery and preparing fast food. Collecting and processing data are two other categories of activities that increasingly can be done better and faster with machines. This could displace large amounts of labor—for instance, in mortgage origination, paralegal work, accounting, and back-office transaction processing.
It is important to note, however, that even when some tasks are automated, employment in those occupations may not decline but rather workers may perform new tasks.
Automation will have a lesser effect on jobs that involve managing people, applying expertise, and social interactions, where machines are unable to match human performance for now.
Jobs in unpredictable environments—occupations such as gardeners, plumbers, or providers of child- and eldercare—will also generally see less automation by 2030, because they are technically difficult to automate and often command relatively lower wages, which makes automation a less attractive business proposition.
Workers displaced by automation are easily identified, while new jobs that are created indirectly from technology are less visible and spread across different sectors and geographies. We model some potential sources of new labor demand that may spur job creation to 2030, even net of automation.
For the first three trends, we model only a trendline scenario based on current spending and investment trends observed across countries.
Rising incomes and consumption, especially in emerging economies, could create new demand for labor. We estimate that 250 million to 280 million new jobs could be created from the impact of rising incomes on consumer goods alone, with up to an additional 50 million to 85 million jobs generated from higher health and education spending.
Aging populations will also create new demand for labor, particularly in healthcare and other personal services. This will create significant new demand for a range of occupations, including doctors, nurses, and health technicians but also home-health aides, personal-care aides, and related jobs.
By 2030, there will be at least 300 million more people aged 65 years and older than there were in 2014. This shift will have significant implications for the labor market and the types of jobs that will be in demand. | 90 months ago | McKinsey & Company | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 22 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

July 26, 2023 | Report

The US labor market is going through a rapid evolution in the way people work and the work people do. Months after MGI released its last report on the future of work in America, the world found itself battling a global pandemic. Since then, the US job market has come roaring back from its sudden drop. The nature of work has changed as many workers have stuck with remote or hybrid models and employers have sped up their adoption of automation technologies. More recently, the accelerated development of generative AI, with its advanced natural language capabilities, has extended the possibilities for automation to a much wider set of occupations.
Multiple forces are set to fuel growth in certain occupations and erode jobs in others. They generally fall into three categories: automation, including generative AI; an injection of federal investment into infrastructure and the net-zero transition; and long-term structural trends such as aging, continuing investment in technology, and the growth of e-commerce and remote work.
Across a majority of occupations, the pandemic accelerated trends that could persist through the end of the decade. Occupations that took a hit during the downturn are likely to continue shrinking over time. These include customer-facing roles affected by the shift to e-commerce and office support roles that could be eliminated either by automation or by fewer people coming into physical offices.
By contrast, occupations in business and legal professions, management, healthcare, transportation, and STEM were resilient during the pandemic and are poised for continued growth. The changes estimated in our earlier research are happening even faster and on an even bigger scale than expected. It is becoming even more urgent to solve occupational and geographic mismatches and connect workers with the training they need to land jobs with better prospects.
The future of work is already here, and it’s moving fast. Workers have shown a willingness to change career paths, while a tighter labor market has encouraged companies to hire from broader applicant pools. For the other categories that account for the remaining occupational shifts still to come, the pandemic was a temporary headwind. Employment in fields like education and training should rise in the years ahead amid a continuous need for early education and lifelong learning.
Demand for construction workers also stalled during the height of the pandemic but is expected to rebound strongly. The majority of these shifts came from people leaving jobs in food services, customer service and sales, office support, and production work. At the same time, managerial and professional roles plus transportation services collectively added close to four million jobs from 2019 to 2022.
Automation, from industrial robots to automated document processing systems, continues to be the biggest factor in changing the demand for various occupations. Generative AI is both accelerating automation and extending it to an entirely new set of occupations. While this technology is advancing rapidly, other forces are also affecting labor demand. Overall, we expect significant shifts in the occupational mix in the United States through the end of the decade.
The effects of automation and generative AI will continue to reshape the labor market. Generative AI can be used to write code, design products, create marketing content and strategies, streamline operations, analyze legal documents, provide customer service via chatbots, and even accelerate scientific discovery. All of this means that automation is about to affect a wider set of work activities involving expertise, interaction with people, and creativity.
The timeline for automation adoption could be sharply accelerated. Without generative AI, our research estimated, automation could take over tasks accounting for 21.5 percent of the hours worked in the US economy by 2030. With it, that share has now jumped to 29.5 percent. Other forces affecting future labor demand include federal investment in infrastructure and the net-zero transition, as well as long-term structural trends such as aging and the growth of e-commerce and remote work. | 22 months ago | McKinsey & Company | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 23 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |
Automation or augmentation? This is how AI will be integrated into the jobs of tomorrow | https://www.weforum.org/stories/2023/09/ai-automation-augmentation-workplace-jobs-of-tomorrow/ | Assessing the ways AI could automate or augment various jobs is the focus of the World Economic Forum's new Jobs of Tomorrow whitepaper. | AI, automation and augmentation will change the workplace and jobs of tomorrow
The future of work is here, and it is being shaped by two powerful forces: artificial intelligence and automation. While some jobs may be displaced, many more will be created, and the nature of work will change in profound ways.
The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2022 finds that by 2025, 75 million jobs may be displaced by a shift in the division of labour between humans and machines, while 133 million new roles may emerge that are more adapted to the new division of labour between humans, machines and algorithms.
However, the report also notes that while automation and AI will undoubtedly change the nature of work, they will not necessarily lead to widespread unemployment. Instead, they will create new job opportunities in fields such as data science, artificial intelligence, and robotics, as well as in emerging industries like renewable energy and cybersecurity.
In fact, the report identifies several key drivers of change that will shape the future of work, including:
1. Technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence, automation, and the Internet of Things
2. Shifts in demographics and labor markets, such as aging populations and changing workforce demographics
3. Evolving workforce requirements, such as the need for skills like creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving
4. Changes in industry structures and business models, such as the rise of the gig economy and platform capitalism
To prepare for this changing landscape, the report recommends that governments, businesses, and individuals take several key steps, including:
1. Investing in education and re-skilling programs to help workers develop the skills they need to thrive in an automated economy
2. Implementing policies to protect workers' rights and promote social protection in the gig economy
3. Encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship to create new job opportunities and drive economic growth
4. Fostering a culture of lifelong learning to help workers adapt to changing job requirements and stay relevant in the workforce.
By taking these steps, we can ensure that the benefits of technological progress are shared by all, and that the future of work is one of opportunity, inclusivity, and prosperity for everyone.
In conclusion, while the future of work will undoubtedly be shaped by technological advancements like AI and automation, it is up to us to create a future where these changes benefit all of humanity, rather than just a privileged few. By working together to invest in education, promote social protection, and encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, we can create a brighter future for workers everywhere.

The Future of Jobs Report 2023 | https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023/digest/ | The Future of Jobs Report 2023 explores how jobs and skills will evolve over the next five years. This fourth edition of the series continues the analysis of... | Economic, health and geopolitical trends have created divergent outcomes for labour markets globally in 2023. While tight labour markets are prevalent in high-income countries, low- and lower-middle-income countries continue to see higher unemployment than before the COVID-19 pandemic. On an individual level, labour-market outcomes are also diverging, as workers with only basic education and women face lower employment levels. At the same time, real wages are declining as a result of an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, and changing worker expectations and concerns about the quality of work are becoming more prominent issues globally.
The fourth edition of the Survey has the widest coverage thus far by topic, geography and sector. The Future of Jobs Survey brings together the perspective of 803 companies – collectively employing more than 11.3 million workers – across 27 industry clusters and 45 economies from all world regions. The Survey covers questions of macrotrends and technology trends, their impact on jobs, their impact on skills, and the workforce transformation strategies businesses plan to use, across the 2023-2027 timeframe.
Technology adoption will remain a key driver of business transformation in the next five years. Over 85% of organizations surveyed identify increased adoption of new and frontier technologies and broadening digital access as the trends most likely to drive transformation in their organization. Broader application of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards within their organizations will also have a significant impact. The next most-impactful trends are macroeconomic: the rising cost of living and slow economic growth. The impact of investments to drive the green transition was judged to be the sixth-most impactful macrotrend, followed by supply shortages and consumer expectations around social and environmental issues. Though still expected to drive the transformation of almost half of companies in the next five years, the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, increased geopolitical divisions and demographic dividends in developing and emerging economies were ranked lower as drivers of business evolution by respondents.
The largest job creation and destruction effects come from environmental, technology and economic trends. Among the macrotrends listed, businesses predict the strongest net job-creation effect to be driven by investments that facilitate the green transition of businesses, the broader application of ESG standards and supply chains becoming more localized, albeit with job growth offset by partial job displacement in each case. Climate change adaptation and the demographic dividend in developing and emerging economies also rate high as net job creators. Technological advancement through increased adoption of new and frontier technologies and increased digital access are expected to drive job growth in more than half of surveyed companies, offset by expected job displacement in one-fifth of companies. The net job creation effect places these two trends in 6th and 8th place respectively. The three key drivers of expected net job destruction are slower economic growth, supply shortages and the rising cost of inputs, and the rising cost of living for consumers. Employers also recognize that increased geopolitical divisions and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will drive labour-market disruption – with an even split between employers who expect these trends to have a positive impact and employers who expect them to have a negative impact on jobs.
Within technology adoption, big data, cloud computing and AI feature highly on likelihood of adoption. More than 75% of companies are looking to adopt these technologies in the next five years. The data also shows the impact of the digitalization of commerce and trade. Digital platforms and apps are the technologies most likely to be adopted by the organizations surveyed, with 86% of companies expecting to incorporate them into their operations in the next five years. E-commerce and digital trade are expected to be adopted by 75% of businesses. The second-ranked technology encompasses education and workforce technologies, with 81% of companies looking to adopt these technologies by 2027. The adoption of robots, power storage technology and distributed ledger technologies rank lower on the list.
The impact of most technologies on jobs is expected to be a net positive over the next five years. Big data analytics, climate change and environmental management technologies, and encryption and cybersecurity are expected to be the biggest drivers of job growth. Agriculture technologies, digital platforms and apps, e-commerce and digital trade, and AI are all expected to result in significant labour-market disruption, with substantial proportions of companies forecasting job displacement in their organizations, offset by job growth elsewhere to result in a net positive. All but two technologies are expected to be net job creators in the next five years: humanoid robots and non-humanoid robots.
Employers anticipate a structural labour market churn of 23% of jobs in the next five years. This can be interpreted as an aggregate measure of disruption, constituting a mixture of emerging jobs added and declining jobs eliminated. Respondents to this year’s Future of Jobs Survey expect a higher-than-average churn in the Supply Chain and Transportation and Media, Entertainment and Sports industries, and lower-than-average churn in Manufacturing as well as Retail and Wholesale of Consumer Goods. Of the 673 million jobs reflected in the dataset in this report, respondents expect structural job growth of 69 million jobs and a decline of 83 million jobs. This corresponds to a net decrease of 14 million jobs, or 2% of current employment.
The human-machine frontier has shifted, with businesses introducing automation into their operations at a slower pace than previously anticipated. Organizations today estimate that 34% of all business-related tasks are performed by machines, with the remaining 66% performed by humans. This represents a negligible 1% increase in the level of automation that was estimated by respondents to the 2020 edition of the Future of Jobs Survey. This pace of automation contradicts expectations from 2020 survey respondents that almost half (47%) of business tasks would be automated in the following five years. Today, respondents have revised down their expectations for future automation to predict that 42% of business tasks will be automated by 2027. Task automation in 2027 is expected to vary from 35% of reasoning and decision-making to 65% of information and data processing.
But while expectations of the displacement of physical and manual work by machines has decreased, reasoning, communicating and coordinating – all traits with a comparative advantage for humans – are expected to be more automatable in the future. Artificial intelligence, a key driver of potential algorithmic displacement, is expected to be adopted by nearly 75% of surveyed companies and is expected to lead to high churn – with 50% of organizations expecting it to create job growth and 25% expecting it to create job losses.
The combination of macrotrends and technology adoption will drive specific areas of job growth and decline:
- The fastest-growing roles relative to their size today are driven by technology, digitalization and sustainability. The majority of the fastest growing roles are technology-related roles. AI and Machine Learning Specialists top the list of fast-growing jobs, followed by Sustainability Specialists, Business Intelligence Analysts and Information Security Analysts. Renewable Energy Engineers, and Solar Energy Installation and System Engineers are relatively fast-growing roles, as economies shift towards renewable energy.
- The fastest-declining roles relative to their size today are driven by technology and digitalization. The majority of fastest declining roles are clerical or secretarial roles, with Bank Tellers and Related Clerks, Postal Service Clerks, Cashiers and Ticket Clerks, and Data Entry Clerks expected to decline fastest.
- Large-scale job growth is expected in education, agriculture and digital commerce and trade. Jobs in the Education industry are expected to grow by about 10%, leading to 3 million additional jobs for Vocational Education Teachers and University and Higher education Teachers. Jobs for agricultural professionals, especially Agricultural Equipment Operators, are expected to see an increase of around 30%, leading to an additional 3 million jobs. Growth is forecast in approximately 4 million digitally-enabled roles, such as E-Commerce Specialists, Digital Transformation Specialists, and Digital Marketing and Strategy Specialists.
- The largest losses are expected in administrative roles and in traditional security, factory and commerce roles. Surveyed organizations predict 26 million fewer jobs by 2027 in Record-Keeping and Administrative roles, including Cashiers and Ticket Clerks; Data Entry, Accounting, Bookkeeping and Payroll Clerks; and Administrative and Executive Secretaries, driven mainly by digitalization and automation.
Analytical thinking and creative thinking remain the most important skills for workers in 2023. Analytical thinking is considered a core skill by more companies than any other skill and constitutes, on average, 9% of the core skills reported by companies. Creative thinking, another cognitive skill, ranks second, ahead of three self-efficacy skills – resilience, flexibility and agility; motivation and self-awareness; and curiosity and lifelong learning – in recognition of the importance of workers ability to adapt to disrupted workplaces. Dependability and attention to detail, ranks seventh, behind technological literacy. The core skills top 10 is completed by two attitudes relating to working with others – empathy and active listening and leadership and social influence – as well as quality control.
Employers estimate that 44% of workers’ skills will be disrupted in the next five years. Cognitive skills are reported to be growing in importance most quickly, reflecting the increasing importance of complex problem-solving in the workplace. Surveyed businesses report creative thinking to be growing in importance slightly more rapidly than analytical thinking. Technology literacy is the third-fastest growing core skill. Self-efficacy skills rank above working with others, in the rate of increase in importance of skills reported by businesses. The socio-emotional attitudes which businesses consider to be growing in importance most quickly are curiosity and lifelong learning; resilience, flexibility and agility; and motivation and self-awareness. Systems thinking, AI and big data, talent management, and service orientation and customer service complete the top 10 growing skills. While respondents judged no skills to be in net decline, sizable minorities of companies judge reading, writing and mathematics; global citizenship; sensory-processing abilities; and manual dexterity, endurance and precision to be of declining importance for their workers.
Six in 10 workers will require training before 2027, but only half of workers are seen to have access to adequate training opportunities today. The highest priority for skills training from 2023-2027 is analytical thinking, which is set to account for 10% of training initiatives, on average. The second priority for workforce development is to promote creative thinking, which will be the subject of 8% of upskilling initiatives. Training workers to utilize AI and big data ranks third among company skills-training priorities in the next five years and will be prioritized by 42% of surveyed companies. Employers also plan to focus on developing worker’s skills in leadership and social influence (40% of companies); resilience, flexibility and agility (32%); and curiosity and lifelong learning (30%). Two-thirds of companies expect to see a return on investment on skills training within a year of the investment, whether in the form of enhanced cross-role mobility, increased worker satisfaction or enhanced worker productivity.
The skills that companies report to be increasing in importance the fastest are not always reflected in corporate upskilling strategies. Beyond the top-ranked cognitive skills are two skills which companies prioritize much more highly than would appear according to their current importance to their workforce: AI and big data as well as leadership and social influence. Companies rank AI and big data 12 places higher in their skills strategies than in their evaluation of core skills, and report that they will invest an estimated 9% of their reskilling efforts in it – a greater proportion than the more highly-ranked creative thinking, indicating that though AI and big data is part of fewer strategies, it tends to be a more important element when it is included. Leadership and social influence ranks five places higher than suggested by its current importance and is the highest ranked attitude. Other skills which are strategically emphasized by business are design and user experience (nine places higher), environmental stewardship (10 places higher), marketing and media (six places higher) and networks and cybersecurity (five places higher).
Respondents express confidence in developing their existing workforce, however, they are less optimistic regarding the outlook for talent availability in the next five years. Accordingly, organizations identify skills gaps and an inability to attract talent as the key barriers preventing industry transformation. In response 48% of companies identify improving talent progression and promotion processes as a key business practice that can increase the availability of talent to their organization, ahead of offering higher wages (36%) and offering effective reskilling and upskilling (34%).
Surveyed companies report that investing in learning and on-the-job training and automating processes are the most common workforce strategies which will be adopted to deliver their organizations’ business goals. Four in five respondents expect to implement these strategies in the next five years. Workforce development is most commonly considered to be the responsibility of workers and managers, with 27% of training expected to be furnished by on-the-job training and coaching, ahead of the 23% by internal training departments and the 16% by employer-sponsored apprenticeships. To close skills gaps, respondents expect to reject external training solutions in favour of company-led initiatives.
A majority of companies will prioritize women (79%), youth under 25 (68%) and those with disabilities (51%) as part of their DEI programmes. A minority will prioritize those from a disadvantaged religious, ethnic or racial background (39%), workers over age 55 (36%), those who identify as LGBTQI+ (35%) and those from a low-income background (33%).
Forty-five percent of businesses see funding for skills training as an effective intervention available to governments seeking to connect talent to employment. Funding for skills training ranks ahead of flexibility on hiring and firing practices (33%), tax and other incentives for companies to improve wages (33%), improvements to school systems (31%) and changes to immigration laws on foreign talent (28%). | 25 months ago | The World Economic Forum |

It’s significant.
By Sara Brown
Jul 29, 2020
Machines replacing humans in the workplace has been a perpetual concern since the Industrial Revolution, and an increasing topic of discussion with the rise of automation in the last few decades. But so far hype has outweighed information about how automation — particularly robots, which do not need humans to operate — actually affects employment and wages.
The recently published paper, “Robots and Jobs: Evidence from U.S. Labor Markets,” by MIT professor Daron Acemoglu and Boston University professor Pascual Restrepo, PhD ’16, finds that industrial robots do have a negative impact on workers.
The researchers found that for every robot added per 1,000 workers in the U.S., wages decline by 0.42% and the employment-to-population ratio goes down by 0.2 percentage points — to date, this means the loss of about 400,000 jobs. The impact is more sizable within the areas where robots are deployed: adding one more robot in a commuting zone (geographic areas used for economic analysis) reduces employment by six workers in that area.
To conduct their research, the economists created a model in which robots and workers compete for the production of certain tasks.
Industries are adopting robots to various degrees, and effects vary in different parts of the country and among different groups — the automotive industry has adopted robots more than other sectors, and workers who are lower and middle income, perform manual labor, and live in the Rust Belt and Texas are among those most likely to have their work affected by robots.
“It’s obviously a very important issue given all of the anxiety and excitement about robots,” Acemoglu said. “Our evidence shows that robots increase productivity. They are very important for continued growth and for firms, but at the same time they destroy jobs and they reduce labor demand. Those effects of robots also need to be taken into account.”
“That doesn't mean we should be opposed to robots, but it does imply that a more holistic understanding of what their effects are needs to be part of the discussion … automation technologies generally don’t bring shared prosperity by themselves,” he said. “They need to be combined with other technological changes that create jobs.”
Industrial robots are automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose machines that can do a variety of things like welding, painting, and packaging. They are fully autonomous and don’t need humans to operate them. Industrial robots grew fourfold in the U.S. between 1993 and 2007, Acemoglu and Restrepo write, to a rate of one robot per thousand workers. Europe is slightly ahead of the U.S. in industrial robot adoption; the rate there grew to 1.6 robots per thousand workers during that time span.
Improvements in technology adversely affect wages and employment through the displacement effect, in which robots or other automation complete tasks formerly done by workers. Technology also has more positive productivity effects by making tasks easier to complete or creating new jobs and tasks for workers. The researchers said automation technologies always create both displacement and productivity effects, but robots create a stronger displacement effect.
Acemoglu and Restrepo looked at robot use in 19 industries, as well as census and American Community Survey data for 722 commuting zones, finding a negative relationship between a commuting zone’s exposure to robots and its post-1990 labor market outcomes.
Adding one robot to a geographic area reduces employment in that area by six workers.
Between 1990 and 2007, the increase in robots (about one per thousand workers) reduced the average employment-to-population ratio in a zone by 0.39 percentage points, and average wages by 0.77%, compared to commuting zones with no exposure to robots, they found. This implies that adding one robot to an area reduces employment in that area by about six workers.
But what happens in one geographic area affects the economy as a whole, and robots in one area can create positive spillovers. These benefits for the rest of the economy include reducing the prices of goods and creating shared capital income gains. Including this spillover, one robot per thousand workers has slightly less of an impact on the population as a whole, leading to an overall 0.2 percentage point reduction in the employment-to-population ratio, and reducing wages by 0.42%. Thus, adding one robot reduces employment nationwide by 3.3 workers.
In a separate study of robot adoption in France, Acemoglu and his co-authors found that French manufacturing firms that added robots became more productive and profitable, but that increases in robot use led to a decline in employment industrywide.
The impact of robots varies among different industries, geographic areas, and population groups. Unsurprisingly, the effect of robots is concentrated in manufacturing. The automotive industry has adopted robots more than any other industry, the researchers write, employing 38% of existing robots with adoption of up to 7.5 robots per thousand workers.
The electronics industry employs 15% of robots, while plastics and chemicals employ 10%. Employees in these industries saw the most negative effects, and researchers also estimate negative effects for workers in construction and retail, as well as personal services. While the automotive industry adopted robots at a quicker pace and to a greater degree than other sectors, that industry did not drive the study’s results. The impact of robots was consistent when that industry was taken out of the equation, the researchers write.
Robots are most likely to affect routine manual occupations and lower and middle class workers, and particularly blue-collar workers, including machinists, assemblers, material handlers, and welders, Acemoglu and Restrepo write. Both men and women are affected by adoption of robots, though men slightly more. For men, impacts are seen most in manufacturing jobs. For women, the impacts were seen most in non-manufacturing jobs.
Robots negatively affect workers at all education levels, though workers without college degrees were impacted far more than those with a college degree or more. The researchers also found robot adoption does not have a positive effect on workers with master’s or advanced degrees, which could indicate that unlike other technology, industrial robots are not directly complementing high-skill workers.
Some parts of the United States saw relatively small adoption of robots, while in other states, including Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia, robots have been adopted more along the order of two to five robots per thousand workers. In some parts of Texas, that number goes up to five to 10 per thousand workers, the researchers found. Detroit was the commuting zone with the highest exposure to robots.
Overall, robots have a mixed effect: replacing jobs that relatively high-wage manufacturing employees used to perform, while also making firms more efficient and more productive, Acemoglu said. Some areas are most affected by the mixed impact of robots. “In the U.S., especially in the industrial heartland, we find that the displacement effect is large,” he said. “When those jobs disappear, those workers go and take other jobs from lower wage workers. It has a negative effect, and demand goes down for some of the retail jobs and other service jobs.”
Acemoglu and Restrepo emphasize that looking at the future effect of robots includes a great deal of uncertainty, and it is possible the impact on employment and wages could change when robots become more widespread. Industries adopting more robots over the last few decades could have experienced other factors, like declining demand or international competition, and commuting zones could be affected by other negative shocks.
Robotic technology is expected to keep expanding, with an aggressive scenario predicting that robots will quadruple worldwide by 2025. This would mean 5.25 more robots per thousand workers in the U.S., and by the researchers’ estimate, a 1 percentage point lower employment-to-population ratio, and 2% lower wage growth between 2015 and 2025. In a more conservative scenario, the stock of robots could increase slightly less than threefold, leading to a 0.6 percentage point decline in the employment-to-population ratio and 1% lower wage growth.
The economic crisis spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic will further exacerbate the good and bad impacts of robots and technology, Acemoglu said. “The good because we are really dependent on digital technologies. If we didn’t have these advanced digital technologies, we wouldn’t be able to use Zoom or other things for teaching and teleconferencing. We would not be able to keep factories going in many areas because workers haven’t fully gotten back to work,” he said. “But at the same time, by the same token, this increases the demand for automation. If the automation process was going too far or had some negative effects, as we find, then those are going to get multiplied as well. So we need to take those into account.” | 58 months ago | MIT Sloan | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 27 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

Automation is everywhere these days. While economists often consider the effects of automation in terms of whether it creates or destroys jobs, less attention is paid to how it changes jobs and the wages paid to the workers that perform them.
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of cutting-edge technologies. From contactless cashiers to welding drones to “chow bots” — machines that serve up salads on demand — automation is fundamentally transforming, rather than merely touching, every aspect of daily life.
The labor market impact of technology is often viewed through the lens of job creation or job destruction. Economists — with near ubiquity — treat technology as being either labor displacing or labor reinstating. If technology displaces workers, jobs are lost. If technology creates (or reinstates) work, jobs are created.
Technology can boost earnings particularly when using that technology demands specialized skills and knowledge. But bots can also depress wages by making some jobs easier to perform. If a job is simple, anyone can do it. And if anyone can do it, why pay some workers a premium?

Yes, but you need to look at the right place
Tomas Pueyo
Mar 28, 2023
This is the 3rd article in the Automation series. Article 1 covers what jobs will disappear, and article 2 how fast they will disappear.
Summary: There’s a bunch of reasons why we can’t see automation in the economics statistics, but the key one is that automation now mainly destroys jobs through the digital economy (soon, AI, and later, robotics) and the digital economy is very special, with high fixed costs that are going down, and near zero marginal costs. This is causing all sorts of effects in the economic data. But there’s one impact that can be seen in: inequality. This matters because if this is true, it will keep going up.
If automation will eliminate so many jobs, why can’t we already see it in the economics statistics?
This is the core argument that techno-foolish people use to claim that automation is unlikely to eliminate jobs. The following is a fictional conversation between a techno-foolish person and me, to illustrate their points and my take on them. I hope you enjoy it!
TOMAS PUEYO (TOMAS): I fear automation, especially AI, will destroy lots of jobs very fast and we won’t be able to create enough of them fast enough, which will drive us to lots of misery and social conflict.
TECHNO-FOOLISH (TF): “ You’re such a luddite! This won’t happen. People have feared being replaced by robots for two centuries, since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. And look at us today! An average person has access to more goods and services than the richest person 200 years ago. Unemployment is at an all-time low. Where is all this disruption we thought computers would bring? Why would this time be different?
Every time I read about this “rise of the robots” fear, I feel the urge to tear my hair out. While it makes a great science fiction story, so far there just aren’t any signs that it’s happening.”
TOMAS: I’m a techno-optimist like you. But I don’t want to be techno-foolish. Economists studying this usually look for signs of the impact of automation in four stats: unemployment, productivity, innovation, and inequality, right? So let’s look at each one. Let’s start with unemployment.
Unemployment
TF: In today’s America, almost everyone that wants a job has one. The prime-age employment-to-population ratio — in my assessment, the best single indicator of the labor market — is now at about the same level as at the peaks of 2019, 2007, and 1990.
TOMAS: What if we look at the data in a slightly different way? What if we go back to 1950 instead of 1980, and look at all people above 16 instead of those 24-55?
Interesting. This is not showing full employment anymore. What’s going on? Let’s break this down by men and women.
Of course, women joined the workforce in droves! This is great! But their participation rate has gone down since the 2000s… Now let’s look at men.
Ouch. 22% of men used to work but don’t anymore! This is not just a US pattern.
Here you can see the drop in participation of prime age male labor. It was at 93% in the US in 1990. The reason why it’s different from the level in the previous chart is because that one shows all males, not just prime age males. As we’ll see below, male prime age labor has gone down in the US too.
TF: Of course, this is due to education:
TOMAS: I agree. And there are many more. For example, the US population has grown 20x in the last 200 years. More population means more diverse needs, more specialization, more jobs.
Another force has been urbanization: When people move to cities, they become more productive, they consume more, and more niche jobs emerge.
Another force has been globalization: More countries participating in trade means higher global productivity and consumption overall.
Female work, education, population growth, immigration, globalization, urbanization, and many more have influenced work participation rates. It’s nearly impossible to look at these numbers in aggregate and tease out the impact of automation. For example, you could easily say: “Despite a unique spell of growth in which prime-age males have been improving their productivity by moving to cities and getting more education, they keep working less and less.”
Because that’s what’s happening:
Innovation: Jobs vs. Tasks
TF: Dozens of articles and papers have tried to weigh in on whether automation will kill jobs or not. Some claim it will eliminate 50% of jobs within decades, others that it will produce jobs. According to some economists who have studied hundreds of papers that discuss this, on balance, there will be job creation.
TOMAS: Maybe that's true. But every time I read one of these papers, I see the same flaw: They tend to look at jobs inside the companies that are doing the automating—or in adjacent companies. These are not the jobs that will disappear! The companies doing the automating will win. The losers are elsewhere.
TF: Where are jobs supposed to be disappearing then?
TOMAS: Let’s think about the industrial revolution. When machines came, artisans lost their jobs and low-skilled workers gained new opportunities working with machines and increasing their salaries. The winners were the ones doing the automating. The losers were those being replaced.
What’s happening today?
When the number of travel agents halved in 12 years, it wasn’t because some travel agents invested in automation and became more productive than others. It’s because the Internet came, and companies like Booking.com or TripAdvisor eviscerated them. But we only need a few companies like Booking because they build things once and can then serve every customer on Earth. That means Booking and its competitors employ a fraction of workers compared to old travel agencies.
Google and Facebook are the big ad behemoths. Within a decade, they eclipsed printed advertising revenue, and with it the livelihoods of tens of thousands of journalists. And since Google makes 10 times more per worker than newspapers, they employ 10x fewer employees for the same level of revenue. Not a great way to create jobs…
The same pattern happens over and over: Digital economy companies are much more efficient, so they destroy traditional industries. But this efficiency increases the quality of products while cutting the price. They have fewer employees, and the ones they have make more money.

The rise of domestic outsourcing across OECD countries
Context
Risk of automation
Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence have broadened the set of skills and abilities that can be replicated by automation technologies. In the past, computers and robots could only follow rules specified by programmers. However, machine learning algorithms, the branch of AI that has experienced the most important advances recently, can now make decisions without following pre-specified rules. Furthermore, AI technologies are able to work with unstructured environments and data. As a result, AI can help automate non-routine activities, contrary to computers that need codified environments and could only replace workers in routine tasks.
On average across OECD countries, occupations at highest risk of automation account for about 28% of jobs. Workers in occupations with the highest shares of automatable skills and abilities continue to be low-skilled, young, and male.

Domestic outsourcing
An increasing share of workers in OECD countries are legally employed by one firm but in practice work for another. Cleaners, security guards and cafeteria staff are examples of occupations where workers often physically work on the premises of one firm, but their legal employer is a third-party support services firm. Such third-party employment relationships are often referred to as “domestic outsourcing”.
Employment in the administrative and support services industry provides a broad measure across countries of the growth of domestic outsourcing. This industry captures general business support services provided to other firms. Examples include temporary employment agencies, travel agencies, as well as cleaning and security services to firms. Over the past 20 years, employment has grown briskly in the administrative and support services industry. From 1995 to 2005, the share of total employment in this industry grew from 3.6% to 4.9%. From 2005 to 2018, it continued to rise to 6.3% of total employment.

Robots and your job: how automation is changing the workplace | https://www.weforum.org/stories/2021/06/study-this-is-how-robots-are-expected-to-impact-future-workplaces/ | In spite of popular beliefs, robots are not replacing workers, with data showing that increased automation actually leads to an increase in... | Study: This is how robots are expected to impact future workplaces
June 09, 2021
As the world becomes increasingly automated, a new study has revealed the impact that robots could have on the future of work.
Robots are expected to take over around 52% of work activities by 2025, freeing up humans to focus on more creative and strategic tasks.
The study, which was conducted by the World Economic Forum, found that while automation will displace some jobs, it will also create new ones, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity.
However, the study also warned that there will be a significant shift in the skills required by workers, with abilities such as critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving becoming more valuable.
To prepare for this shift, the study recommended that governments and businesses invest in education and retraining programs, to help workers develop the skills they need to thrive in an automated workplace.
The study also highlighted the importance of addressing the social and economic implications of automation, including the potential for job displacement and income inequality.
Overall, the study suggests that while robots will certainly change the nature of work, they also have the potential to bring about significant benefits, including increased productivity and efficiency, and improved job satisfaction. | 47 months ago | The World Economic Forum | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 33 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

Artificial intelligence is poised to eliminate millions of current jobs — and create millions of new ones.
Written by Matthew Urwin
UPDATED BY Abel Rodriguez | May 15, 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the workforce, and not always for the better. As companies continue to adopt AI to boost productivity, many are also cutting human jobs and replacing them with tools like ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot.
Analysts at Goldman Sachs estimate that AI could replace two-thirds of all occupations, however, the new technology is also creating several new jobs, potentially easing the transition for affected workers.
## Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) Replace Jobs?
AI is replacing and will continue to replace some jobs. Workers in industries ranging from healthcare to agriculture and industrial sectors can all expect to see disruptions in hiring due to AI. But demand for workers in other sectors is also expected to rise, thanks to AI.
Some experts and industry insiders, however, aren’t too worried about the rise of AI and remain unimpressed with the technology. While discussing AI models with the BBC, Nick Clegg, Meta’s former president of global affairs, went so far as to say, “In many ways, they’re quite stupid.” Even OpenAI founder Sam Altman believes current AI tools are “wildly overhyped.”
It isn’t that the machines aren’t rising. It’s that they’re rising much more slowly than some of the more breathless media coverage might have you believe — which is great news for most of those who think AI-powered technology will soon steal their jobs.
“Most of” being the operative words.
## 11 Jobs AI Will Replace
The consensus among many experts is that a number of professions will be totally automated in the next five to 10 years. Below are a few roles that are at risk of being taken over by AI in the near future.
### 1. Customer Service Representative
The customer service role is becoming more automated, as tools like chatbots or virtual assistants handle a broader range of customer inquiries and requests.
### 2. Car and Truck Driver
Improvements in autonomous vehicles reduce the need for human drivers, impacting those in both the taxi and rideshare industries.
### 3. Computer Programmer
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini have raised questions about whether AI will replace writing-heavy jobs. While human language requires much more creativity and nuance, programming consists of more structured, straightforward language.
### 4. Research Analyst
Research-centric positions like market research analyst and financial analyst can be performed, at least to a degree, by AI.
### 5. Paralegal
Many administrative tasks completed by paralegals are within the range of AI’s capabilities. With its ability to process massive amounts of complex data, AI can write legal reports, gather facts for a case, sort through documents and conduct legal research.
### 6. Factory or Warehouse Worker
AI powers lots of machines in factories, performing many actions with greater speed and consistency than humans.
### 7. Financial Trader
Financial traders are in charge of analyzing markets and informing investors’ decisions, but AI can work through this process much faster.
### 8. Travel Advisor
Travelers no longer need to rely on travel agents for personalized recommendations and travel tips.
### 9. Content Writer
AI content generators can already help brainstorm writing ideas and assist with repetitive content creation.
### 10. Graphic Designer
Graphic designers are in direct competition with AI-generated art, especially since the ability to produce this kind of art is available to the public.
### 11. Data Entry Clerk
Data entry clerks are in charge of entering, updating and maintaining information on databases and internal systems. However, AI systems have shown they’re capable of accurately processing massive amounts of structured and unstructured data, and at faster speeds than humans.
## 9 Jobs AI Won’t Replace
We can take comfort in the fact that some jobs are less likely to be replaced by AI.
### 1. Teacher
AI-powered tools have made gains in the classroom, guiding small-group interactions and helping children grow their socio-emotional skills. But AI can’t build the trust and intimacy that human teachers are able to have with their students.
### 2. Nurse
Simple healthcare tasks like transporting medical supplies and retrieving patient data may fall to artificial intelligence. It’s the face-to-face interactions where a human touch is essential.
### 3. Social Worker
Social workers probably won’t be replaced by AI anytime soon. The work they engage in — often with people from underserved or at-risk populations — requires a human touch and judgment.
### 4. Therapist
Therapists perform a great deal of emotional labor, listening to people’s problems and guiding them as they work through their feelings, thoughts and emotional responses. AI doesn’t have the ability to grasp this aspect of humans to such a degree.
### 5. Handyperson
People who work in the trades, like plumbers and electricians, often have to perform a range of manual labor and handle more in-depth human interactions — two things AI doesn’t excel at.
### 6. Lawyer
Although AI has become a major part of the legal industry, it’s unlikely to replace lawyers any time soon. Lawyers are expected to possess a strong grasp of morals and ethics, relying on this knowledge to inform their legal advice.
### 7. HR Specialist
HR specialists oversee areas like recruiting, interviewing and onboarding — all processes that require high levels of personalized, human interactions.
### 8. Copywriter, UX Writer and Technical Writer
Despite enjoying a boom in popularity, AI writing tools struggle to match the quality and creativity of talented human writers in some cases.
### 9. Artist
AI art generators are skilled at producing high-quality pieces, but these pieces are only based on artworks and styles that already exist. Human artists are the ones who develop new styles and ideas that drive innovation within the artistic landscape.
## Benefits of AI in the Workplace
Despite fears of job loss due to automation, AI does offer major advantages to companies and workers who embrace the technology.
### More Focused and Engaging Tasks
Among AI’s biggest boons, many experts believe, is its ability to save humans from having to perform tedious repetitive tasks that are part of their overall duties so they’re free to focus on more complex and rewarding projects — or just take some much-needed time off.
### More Efficient and Shorter Workdays
Some think increased productivity and efficiency might even shorten the work week.
### More Informed Decision-Making
Because AI and machine learning can gather and process large volumes of data, human workers can more quickly access data-based insights and understand the meaning behind trends and patterns.
### Increased Innovation and Problem-Solving
With AI taking care of redundant and mundane tasks, humans can dedicate their energy to addressing more complicated business challenges.
### More Personalized Customer Interactions
Employees can use AI technologies to gather data on users’ online behavior and save information on customer preferences.
## How AI Will Create Jobs
The development of AI itself requires many humans to train and refine AI algorithms. This leads to the creation of roles that haven’t existed until now. Machine learning engineers must design and oversee AI systems while AI ethics specialists ensure AI is deployed responsibly. | 69 months ago | Built In | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 35 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

How Americans see automation and the workplace in 7 charts
By A.W. Geiger

Automation already plays a significant role in the U.S. workplace, and most Americans expect technological advances to continue to alter the job landscape in the decades ahead. These seven charts, based on recent Pew Research Center surveys, highlight Americans’ views toward job automation:
Most Americans anticipate widespread job automation in the coming decades. About eight-in-ten U.S. adults (82%) say that by 2050, robots and computers will definitely or probably do much of the work currently done by humans, according to a December 2018 Pew Research Center survey. A smaller share of employed adults (37%) say robots or computers will do the type of work they do by 2050.
The U.S. public generally anticipates more negative than positive effects from widespread job automation. Around three-quarters of Americans (76%) say inequality between the rich and the poor would increase if robots and computers perform most of the jobs currently being done by humans by 2050. Only a third (33%) believe it’s likely that this kind of widespread automation would create many new, better-paying jobs for humans.
In a May 2017 Pew Research Center survey, around four-in-ten U.S. adults said an automated future would make the economy more efficient, let people focus on the most fulfilling aspects of their jobs or allow them to focus less on work and more on what really matters to them in life. In each instance, a majority of the public said these positive outcomes are unlikely.
Most Americans also expressed support for policies aimed at limiting automation to certain jobs or cushioning its economic impact. A large majority (85%) said they would support restricting workforce automation to jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans to do. Six-in-ten said they would favor a federal policy that would provide a guaranteed income for all citizens to meet basic needs in the instance of widespread job automation, and a similar share (58%) said they would support a federal program that would pay people to do tasks even if machines are able to do the work faster and more cheaply.
Americans are divided over whose responsibility it is to take care of displaced workers in the event of far-reaching job automation. Half of U.S. adults said that in the event that robots and computers are capable of doing many human jobs, it is the government’s obligation to take care of displaced workers, even if it means raising taxes substantially, according to the 2017 survey. A nearly identical share (49%) said that obligation should fall on the individual, even if machines have already taken many human jobs.
Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents were far more likely than Republicans and GOP leaners (65% vs. 34%) to say the government is obligated to help displaced workers in the event that robots become capable of doing many human jobs, while Republicans were much more likely to say individuals should be responsible (68% vs. 30% of Democrats). | 74 months ago | Pew Research Center |

Automation could replace 1.5 million jobs, says ONS | https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47691078 | Some 1.5 million people in England are at high risk of losing their jobs to automation, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). | Automation could replace 1.5 million jobs, says ONS
25 March 2019
By Jonty Bloom, business correspondent
Some 1.5 million people in England are at high risk of losing their jobs to automation, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
It says 70% of the roles at high risk of automation are currently held by women. Part-timers and the young are the next most at risk.
The ONS analysed the jobs of 20 million people in 2017 and found 7.4% of these were at high risk of being replaced.
The ONS defines automation as tasks currently carried out by workers being replaced with technology. That could mean computer programs, algorithms, or even robots.
The three occupations with the highest probability of automation are waiters and waitresses, shelf fillers and elementary sales occupations, all of which are low-skilled or routine.
Those at the lowest risk are medical practitioners, higher education teaching professionals, and senior professionals in education.
"It is not so much that robots are taking over, but that routine and repetitive tasks can be carried out more quickly and efficiently by an algorithm written by a human, or a machine designed for one specific function," the ONS said.
It added it had looked into the automation of jobs as it could have an impact on the labour market, economy and society.
The ONS says there are fewer jobs at risk of automation now than was thought in 2011, from 8.1% to 7.4%, but the proportion of jobs at low and medium risk of automation has risen.
It says the exact reasons for the decrease in the proportion of roles at high risk of automation are unclear, but it is possible that automation of some jobs has already happened: "For instance, self-checkouts at supermarkets are now a common sight, reducing the need to have as many employees working at checkouts."
The statistics body says that while the overall number of jobs has increased, the majority of these are in occupations that are at low or medium risk.
That suggests, it says, that the labour market may be changing to jobs that require more complex and less routine skills.
Maja Korica, associate professor of organisation at Warwick Business School, said: "What is most concerning is the speed at which the biggest players are introducing these changes.
"If you take a company like Amazon, it introduced more than 50,000 new robots in 2017, a 100% increase from the previous year. Estimates suggest 20% of its workforce may already be made up of robots.
"Policymakers and business leaders need to be thinking about how they work together to deal with these problems."
Automation is not just about robots or self-driving cars, it can also involve computer programs and algorithms, but the message from this analysis is clear: the better trained and educated you are the lower are the chances of you losing your job.
So although all those self check-out terminals at your supermarket are taking a lot of work and jobs from shop staff, the head of marketing at Sainsbury's is probably safe; for now.
It is routine and repetitive tasks that are better done by a machine, be it adding up long columns of numbers or filling boxes with baked beans, but it is also true that more and more complicated tasks can and are being broken down into a series of simple tasks, each of which can be done by a machine that needs no training, holidays, tea breaks or sick leave.
So increasing numbers of factory workers are at threat of losing their jobs, even if they are highly skilled and that also means that the young are worst affected.
After all, experience, qualifications and promotion all take time, the longer your career the more likely it is you are doing a job that is safe from the rise of the machines. | 74 months ago | BBC | data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBwgHBgkIBwgKCgkLDRYPDQwMDRsUFRAWIB0iIiAdHx8kKDQsJCYxJx8fLT0tMTU3Ojo6Iys/RD84QzQ5OjcBCgoKDQwNGg8PGjclHyU3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3N//AABEIAEIAeAMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAbAAACAwEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAFBgAEBwMBAv/EAEYQAAIBAgQDBAQJCQYHAAAAAAECAwQRAAUSIQYxQRMiUWEycYGhBxQVJXSRsbPBIzNCUlNicrLCFiRDc4KSNDZ1otHh8P/EABkBAAMBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAgMEBf/EACARAAICAgMAAwEAAAAAAAAAAAABAhEDIQQxQTJhkRL/2gAMAwEAAhEDEQA/AMwzsfPuZ/TZvvGxVVcXc5Hz5mf02f7xsV1XAAW4Y+Soq/tc6eFIOzk7LtkMimQC4BQDcXI9l+tsVo2y6WCpd8woInMj2gWKRPHSyNpbSt9J0eRG18OXCvDNXS0mY5jHVZZViGMfk2gklURkBmdbEG4UG/d3KBb3wP4g4CoqKilrJs7pTNKGeGKGltrFx6P5T0bEEMLi1977YABmWZP8p5c8lJq+ORo0iR22qkW+ox7nvC24v1tgCtfSdZP+04O8P53DkNDl85qGZoKrXH2Vwkgtdg21wRe1973sV2BD/nFfmgAqgrwU1RJrpi4Vu1jZFYEXHIarXPPfwwAZrl9HUZkPm+jqqr/Ip3f7Biy+R5tH+cybNE/ioJh/Th3pswn1h3ip2b9bsVB+sDBWjzev7RFVlQEgdy6/YcAGVy0VRCLzU08Y8ZImX7RimZqb9vF/vGNr+XsyViGnnYA/t3H2HHX+0lcFsdZH78rP/NfABhweJvRkQ+phjwpfG3/LDVRZamnhYaWJ1U8Lchf9TC7XUHD9YxabLypP7OGEf04AMuZcfDLjSEybhqNrmnc/5kMbD3KPtxbFFwfa09FRW/dpZlP1rKMAGUEYmNI434dyGg4Zmrsuy4U0omgSGRaiZi2pn1Aq7kW0p78TAAlZuPnvMvps/wB42OUYsQRa48RcfVizm4+e8y+mTfztjkgwAM+X5hnmXxLmORT/ABpTGVnotadrTqCdwvNozcm4AtuDbYkQlZmFPTVSs8NIk4JEPZDULi/eAJ0LbfvEG3IHBfgKliquI4IJ5VjidW1htHfFrhbMCDc288GuM6Gjy3LK2fL5Ep5QhA9E6rA7An/7wxLlTodCbktWmVVNFSx5ZTZjHLKrstZR7lSV0tGdRtq3Hoi2179NKzOWil4fy+gyxIJo6aSQNURIy3k1vrAB8xud79DbmsqjwcY5e6o6QUNJA8NQpsfzaE29dit/O2C4lkqA7ym7GQbAWA9I7Dp1xQjpQ0Ek0iRojF2NgNJwUp6B45o9aMPRI29WC1ewyXhuGmpSUqKuMGSVPSNxe3qA2wPyuKWeqHoKVZNr2QbWJJNzfYe/EuVMTZ4YU0Edmddz3umORp/LBJxNGfyq9onS1rj1eOPsJG6BkCsp6i+3lhppgnYKjgssxt/h/iB+OB0sHlhmjhRllUra6jcnluMU5qFTbS97+XLDAVpobdMUZISzBQLkmwwx1dJoYhmA9YOKUFP/AH2AhlIEgJ36A364BlX4UZVi4doKQH85mDyL5qsQP2zYmKPwqvY5FS9YoJ3P+qQKPdGMTAAp5uPnvMvpk387Y4drFGR2sqJ/EcWc0SSbPq+KEAyyV0qID1YyED342PK+FqXJuHpKKheSWuA70wsX1ki7b9Bvy6Dxwm6ASfg3pJ5uIaWqioZZaeJHMsso7NFYggBbjvH6rXx3+FmULlDxy0ykyOAkoIJUgg+F7Wv7sda7PK3h/ieanrGd1r6aOYaW2WRV0Np8rrf24DZZSzcU5zpr3kqY4laSTUf0fAdBc2HTE1ux/QWybj3K6vJqPKJYiNMEcTB9rFfB/D/z5YKUEmV1EOuP4xGG0nmGsbHbpvvgA+RFxU1GdZdRKuu0KRxjUByG4uN/Jjax6b4U4M9zbhrNmFVCTRyPqejdyylf3WO4Nuv4bYtOxUb2I4M6yiKCCoLTUwQsukKzqp2tcHp4dcUsqpZYJYirQSqXOoLINt9iSbeX1eeA9DUoGiqKOVjHIiywyDYlWFwfXY4P09RFVyo1QNE+oflkX0v4gPtHvxMo3sloJwF1h/vELlCbEkLYkk9B05b+eBubqsOtsqj7StB09i0oUNtfnubWv09owM4mzSp4dyWqzCK5kRQselzpYswUHbnbVe3s2wIyziSprJnp4qntHRwhlF5YWNgbq5ADc+Wx6WxmqXZWPG5PXYYy3O1njkSop5KGZu6FmIKvZtwG5Hdf/eO1YWeVma17nkLD2YJmKmzSjeGphhqFcjWJF3Y777W388Dp6b5OjCRUcs9Ou2hZiZUH7t76h5XvhQzRkdmXitfFbBczSKbh2HtxUo4TLmEaDm1wPXY4Ka8rrIu0p6mUJe1zHex6g+Bxxip4Ynkmhq45dCarAFSLEHr6sbnE9OmIPwm1C1HE0YU7RUECkeBYGQ/eDEwM4wqRWcT5lUIQUaVVW3giKn9OJgGeClau4yelR9DSZqw1/q2lJv7sPuT1GZcT5xV5DnVHU5fm1IHljrY4yArKbC9jY8xYg2N+nM8eEZuGI8yl+U2y5cwObVant0czG7Wi0ECw7xONDzmtoKHN0qJpYI5VnW7WbUF0MG1W6X08sTJjRjvGWS8QZKRWVsnylTxFg8yMxMIuOasSQPMG3jbFjggVpr3+TJmvPTuzIqg6mF7A3HQsD7caTNm9HW5yYVgaaikpF1zJE+jWWYMLkAMNNvrwG4ObIck4gzXJ8vp+wkijjmRdUjF1IIO7+HcG23e8sK9UAkZjWZ/RlKniOGu0M2mCM6CJJSNlCqdjz6YocYZZV1jZZNmVN8VlMqQzQo+rSr2sb+PT14euIM3yXPSlF2kba31Rx3ZZFkTvahcA7eI63Ftt+nFVIK6igqUAYyxggn9oh1L7w3uwKXg6KeTtFS0lNSSSM/ZIIYgU/RQdSOuD9JLCJo9LG+obYX4wsjydl2ZDqJI2kNgPb6jj5yepmzaokyqSOSGsgC/GEc9yRSOaODezAGx6ezFReiWhrM1FX0k9LW0pamlABDEFZRYEMAOW/I7Hrywp1nCPYMfk6pX4orXSPRZkvzJtz5DfmevLDEtFNHTosEKvDGNHaJe6sthpsBbxJNxbYW64u5bR/OzUdaobShZtDX6XG4vhTgpqmbcfkz40/wC8b2L2S5hW0dJGXliq0d7ApINa2BJ588M9DmsWY0iyoDJEf01/HCzxRw/GY0tKsFS5aTtITcNcL6Q8cL0Emf5XUu9CFVG/RjkDLb/Vv7ccs8DXR7GPmYeSm8lKX4hv4jooqaM5lS9x9aLMFNu1VmC94crgkG/Pa2A1TUfFsmzWrvbsaZ/erAe+2PurzuvzOkSDMYoolDB3ET3MhFrX8ACL233A3wJ4nnEPBGayJ/iFYiD5sn4Xxvhi4xpnl8ucZyVGfdoZAZDzdi/1m/448x8Duoq+AAx7jU5QnJ/zhJ/1Y/f41rj/AP46o/iOJiYzmVEv0EjvVTKzsVVFsCdhywBqNvhGordculv/ALhiYmJ9GeTUVJDmtVNDSwxysqFnSMBjfVe5wUG/DO/Sbby764mJg9ATstZjlsxLG6tVBd+QDvb6rYJ/BPLJVZRBNVSPNKzsGeRtTGzgDc+WJiYsQ1ZdI6ZcrI7KxlYEg2JuTfDPGA8DSuNUmtu+dz6A64mJjVGE+xQ4tdmnpyzE9zqfIYW5CfHExMJlx6K0pwP4wJ/sK/nWx/1YmJhDEVueJiYmAZ//2Q== | 37 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |
Women's work faces the greatest risk of automation, says new research | https://www.weforum.org/stories/2019/03/women-jobs-at-greatest-risk-robots-automation/ | More than 70% of the jobs deemed most vulnerable to the robot revolution are held by women, according to a British survey. | Women jobs at greatest risk from robots and automation
By Saadia Zahidi
28 Mar 2019
The latest data from the McKinsey Global Institute suggests that up to 800 million jobs could be lost worldwide due to automation by 2030.
While this change will affect workers in multiple industries and sectors, some jobs are more at risk than others.
According to the same McKinsey report, women are more likely to work in jobs that have a high potential for automation (77% versus 62% of men).
Meanwhile, research from the Institute for Public Policy Research found that 74% of women (or around 4 million people) who work in the UK are in jobs that are potentially at high risk of automation.
And an analysis of data by the Reuters Thompson Foundation found that women in developing countries are more vulnerable to job automation.
It's not all bad news though. Experts say there is still time for women to "up-skill" to protect themselves from automation.
This includes learning skills that are complementary to the work that robots and AI systems will be doing, such as critical thinking or creativity.
"Women should be thinking about how to future proof their skills, because the pace of change is so rapid," says Karen Ellis, Director of the OECD's Employment, Labour and Social Affairs Directorate.
"They need to get the skills that are complementary to the machines - critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork and creativity."
There are already some inspiring examples of women accessing new skills and technology training to boost their employability.
The African NGO, Tech Needs Girls, teaches young women digital skills, such as coding and app development.
And the initiative #She Innovates, led by the University of Cambridge, aims to support women develop innovative solutions to technological challenges.
The World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2018 found that, overall, 71% of the global gender gap has been closed, but that there is still a way to go to achieve full parity.
The report also found that, while more women are entering professions that require STEM education, such as engineering and technology, men still dominate these fields.
As experts point out, unless action is taken to teach girls and young women digital skills, and to prepare them for an automated future, we risk exacerbating the existing gender gap.
"Focused and targeted action is needed to ensure equal opportunities and to mitigate the impact of automation on women's employment," says the IPPR's report.
However, by taking proactive steps to educate and prepare women for the automated job market, it's possible to mitigate the impact on women's employment and ensure that they share the benefits of technological progress.
The technology gender gap is a significant challenge, but it also presents a tremendous opportunity to upskill and empower women around the world. | 74 months ago | The World Economic Forum | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 38 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |
Automation Could Eliminate 73 Million U.S. Jobs By 2030 | https://www.statista.com/chart/12082/automation-could-eliminate-73-million-us-jobs-by-2030/ | This chart shows the potential number of displaced jobs due to automation by 2030. |
Dec 1, 2017
The rapid evolution of AI and robots could eliminate 73 million American jobs by 2030, according to a new report from the McKinsey Global Institute. The research notes that those losses could be offset by an increase in productivity, economic growth and other factors. However, maintaining full employment is likely to be highly challenging as the economy and labor market would require massive overhauls.
Midpoint automation could lead to 39 million U.S. job losses by 2030 while rapid automation could cost 73 million. Despite the potential losses, however, about 20 million displaced people could be shifted into similar jobs where they could tackle slightly different tasks. Still, a significant share would have to be retrained completely in the U.S. and many other developed countries. McKinsey reported that a third of the 2030 workforce in the U.S. might need to be retrained, as well as nearly half of Japan's.
Rapid automation could also cost China and India 236 and 120 million jobs respectively by 2030. In Japan, the worst case scenario would see 30 million losses. Mexico could have 18 million displaced workers by then while Germany could have 17 million. The jobs most threatened by automation tend to be physical and predictable with examples including workers in the fast food sector or machinery operators. The safest jobs are generally less predictable, including managers, engineers, scientists, teachers and plumbers.

USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida
June 25, 2024
The integration of artificial intelligence in everyday life has caused waves of fear in certain industries. While most jobs aren’t likely to become robotic, some niche jobs are actually in danger of being taken over by AI.
Digital marketing data platform (un)Common Logic conducted a study, using Bureau of Labor Statistics data and several artificial intelligence studies, to find the cities with the most workers at risk of AI job displacement and the industries where AI poses the greatest threat.
And three of the top 10 metropolitan areas with the most workers at risk of AI job displacement are in Florida.
Here’s which cities in Florida made the list, where they rank and what “AI job displacement” means.
## What does AI job displacement mean?
AI job displacement refers to jobs that are being replaced by automated systems made possible through developing artificial intelligence technology.
## What types of jobs will AI affect the most?
AI usually replaces jobs that involve a lot of repetitive or straightforward tasks, like data entry, proofreading, bookkeeping and telemarketing jobs.
**According to (un)Common Logic’s study, these jobs are at the highest risk for AI displacement (these are not the only jobs with risk for AI displacement):**
* Budget analysts
* Loan officers
* Accountants
* Insurance sales agents
* Paralegals
According to another list of jobs most likely to be displaced by AI from Forbes, data entry and administrative roles, customer service jobs, manufacturing and assembly line jobs, retail cashiers, entry-level graphic design jobs and translation jobs are all at risk as well.
## What U.S. state has the most jobs that are vulnerable to AI?
According to (un)Common Logic’s study, Florida cities count for three of the top five metropolitan areas where the most jobs are at risk from AI.
The Tampa-St.Pete metropolitan area ranks first nationwide as the city with the most jobs at risk of being displaced by artificial intelligence. The Miami metropolitan area follows close behind in second place and Jacksonville takes fourth place.
**Here is the list of the top 10 U.S. metro areas where the most jobs are at risk because of AI, according to (un)Common Logic’s study:**
1. **Tampa - St. Petersburg - Clearwater, Florida**
2. **Miami - Fort Lauderdale - West Palm Beach, Florida**

“In five states — South Dakota, Kansas, Delaware, Florida, and New York — more than one in ten workers are vulnerable to AI-related automation, facing both high levels of AI exposure and high probabilities of automation. These states have high concentrations of workers in the knowledge sector,” the study said.
“Among major metropolitan areas with populations of one million or more, locations in Florida and New York account for four of the top five regions at greatest risk of AI job displacement.”
When it comes to state-by-state rankings, Florida ranks as the state with the fourth-most jobs in danger of being replaced by artificial intelligence in this study.
**Here is the list of the top 10 U.S. states where the most jobs are at risk because of AI, according to (un)Common Logic’s study:**

Release date: June 29, 2020
Abstract:
Recent significant advances in artificial intelligence have raised questions about the role of workers in an era when robots and algorithms are increasingly able to perform many job duties, including those previously believed to be non-automatable. The COVID-19 pandemic have added to these concerns, as businesses may turn to new automation technology to perform a broader range of work activities traditionally done by human workers.
Executive summary:
The recent development of several artificial intelligence applications—such as driverless vehicles, robo-writers and computer-aided medical diagnostics—has led to concerns about the role of human workers in the future workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic has added to these concerns, as businesses may turn to new artificial intelligence technologies to perform work activities not traditionally regarded as automatable, such as social tasks.
Introduction:
Technological advancement has been a feature of developing economies for millennia. With the onset of the industrial revolution in the 18th century, the speed of technological progress began to increase significantly. Most early industrial activities were fairly labour intensive, and new technology facilitated these tasks and allowed workers to focus on more cerebral goals.

Main text:
The study estimates the risk faced by paid Canadian workers, after accounting for tasks, and the risk faced by specific groups of workers. Results suggest that, overall, 10.6% of Canadian workers were at high risk (probability of 70% or higher) of automation-related job transformation in 2016, while 29.1% were at moderate risk (probability of between 50% and 70%). Several groups had a relatively higher share of workers who were at high risk, including those who were older (55 or above), had no postsecondary credentials or postsecondary credentials in certain fields, had low literacy or numeracy proficiency, had low employment income, or were employed part time, in small firms, in certain occupations (e.g., Office support occupations), or in the manufacturing sector. | 59 months ago | Statistique Canada | data:image/png;base64,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 | 42 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

Concerns over AI are one reason port workers are on strike, but the data shows that the emerging technology could impact other careers.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Concerns over artificial intelligence are one reason port workers are on strike, but the data shows they aren’t the only ones who could be impacted by the emerging technology.
There's no doubt automation is impacting the workforce. Some companies use technology, such as ChatGPT, to interact with customers. Others use it for robots.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said AI could be more significant than the emergence of computers. However, they aren’t seeing major job losses at this point.
There are certain careers that experts consider are at a higher risk of job losses. The federal government said the jobs most considered to be impacted by AI are financial advisors, interpreters, surgeons, fast-food workers, and landscapers.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said material movers are also considered to be one of the hardest-hit industries by automation.
While robots have impacted these industries, federal government data doesn't show massive job loss yet. Experts said the future impact is unknown.
"Somebody says the labor-intensive job will be replaced," University of Houston professor Meng Li said. "Somebody says the financial advisor will be replaced. There are different studies, but how, why, and what the future is, I don't think there's a general assessment for that."
While the technology is impacting jobs, it's also creating opportunities.
Right now, nearly 60,000 people have jobs working with artificial intelligence in the Houston area. HCC data shows 5,000 more AI jobs are expected in our region over the next three years. By the way, the average pay for those jobs is more than $110,000.
There are growing educational opportunities to learn it, too. A number of colleges, from Houston Community College to the University of Houston, offer programs.

"Business leaders are under immense pressure to deliver results in the face of market challenges. Automation is an immediate way to improve efficiency and productivity across every department. The technology is no longer a “nice-to-have”; it’s a must-have, because automation tools improve both business and employee performance. And automation can help combat burnout and improve work-life balance, which are critical retention strategies for companies adapting to a shifting labor market.
The C-suite is feeling extra pressure to deliver results. Protracted inflation, supply chain disruptions, market volatility, and recession fears are driving business leaders to trim costs and boost efficiency. Meanwhile, the imperative to provide better customer and employee experiences has not gone away. As a result, every company and organization must now strive to do more with the tools and resources at their disposal.
An investment in business process automation is one of the fastest ways to improve efficiency and productivity across every department: sales, service, marketing, commerce, IT, human resources, finance, and more. Automation reduces the repetitive and monotonous tasks humans have to do by relegating those tasks to software, which usually means a better experience for customers, reduced error rates, improved compliance, and lower stress for teams.
Prioritizing automation helps business leaders focus on increasing efficiency, improving results, and delivering value.
The Benefits of Automation
Automation is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have. Adopting automation is especially useful in challenging economic times.
With real-time data, automation technology can now trigger immediate automations based on real-time changes in customer behavior or market conditions. Paired with artificial intelligence (AI), companies can use more advanced systems that are not only capable of performing repetitive tasks, but also use AI to learn, adapt, and make decisions based on real-time data. Together, real-time data, automation and AI enable organizations to deliver highly personalized customer experiences, at scale, while driving higher levels of productivity and efficiency.
Today, many employees and leaders view automation as a complementary tool. [More than 90%](https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/new-salesforce-research-links-lower-stress-levels-and-business-automation/) of workers recently surveyed said automation solutions increased their productivity, and 85% said these tools boosted collaboration across their teams. Nearly 90% also said they trusted automation solutions to get more done without errors and help them make decisions faster.
Beyond the business advantages, the human benefits of automation are often under-appreciated. The technology performs the tedious tasks that few people relish, like filling out multiple forms to replace a lost credit card, and helps to lighten employees’ workloads.
[Vonage](https://www.salesforce.com/resources/customer-stories/vonage-telecommunications-automation/), a global leader in cloud communications, sought to unify and automate how its workforce and systems work together to help accelerate growth. Vonage used automation technologies to consolidate customer data, making it easier and faster for sales teams to understand the needs of customers and prospects.
Automation technologies enabled Vonage to simplify quote creation and management, cutting account/phone provisioning time from four days to just minutes, while also reducing the risk of human error.
Business Results and Growth
In a recent survey, nearly [80% of employees](https://www.salesforce.com/blog/automation-trend-employee-experience/) reported that automation gave them more time to deepen relationships with customers and other stakeholders, take on challenging new projects, and learn new skills.
Automation tools also improve the overall employee experience: nearly 90% said they felt more satisfied with their jobs since they began using the technology, and 84% were more satisfied with their employer. Combating burnout and improving work-life balance through automation are critical retention strategies for companies adapting to a shifting labor market.
As a longtime CIO, I’ve gleaned best practices for getting started with automation. Here’s how you can adopt and scale automation tools to drive growth in any economic environment:
1. Listen to business partners across the company and work on automation initiatives that will generate the most business value.
Succeeding with automation starts with what I call “[business intimacy](https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/salesforce-cio-update/).” Developing an automation strategy in silos, without listening to stakeholders across the business, makes it difficult to choose the right technology and priorities for automation.
Instead, technology leaders must truly understand the needs and strategic objectives of every part of the company, including sales, service, marketing, commerce, and IT. By partnering closely with key business leaders, CIOs can help elevate core priorities amid budget constraints and deliver the right technology to achieve teams’ most pressing goals.
With efficiency and customer success as our goal, we apply business intimacy internally to support Salesforce’s transformation. We’re using automation and AI to increase efficiency and deliver transformative automated capabilities across the company. For example, we’re exploring how Slack can be used to increase sales productivity and help close deals faster by automatically delivering real-time insights to connect sellers, account teams, and cross-functional stakeholders. We use automation to drive faster decision making, streamline internal processes, improve the way we interact with our customers, and drive better performance, productivity, and profitability across the company.
2. Unlock and unify data to deliver personalized experiences.
A critical step to automating business processes and drawing useful insights from enterprise data is to bring together information locked away in disparate systems. Look for technologies that can connect and harmonize data from a variety of sources into a single platform that provides a seamless view of the business. Funneling all that valuable data into a single source of truth for each individual customer is what allows automation to enhance the customer experience by acting on intelligent insights to personalize every customer interaction.
3. Scale complex business processes quickly for faster time to value.
Building out complex, multi-departmental workflows has traditionally meant substantial investments in development and tooling. With operational efficiency top of mind, companies need low-code solutions that give anyone — not just admins — the ability to build and deploy automation quickly.
Choose solutions with plenty of off-the-shelf components that allow business teams and end users to automate any business process quickly. Solutions should also give IT the tools to build customized automation components that the entire business can use. The ability to quickly and easily automate workflows helps companies achieve faster time to value, whether by reducing case handle time, boosting conversion rates, providing faster quotes, expediting client onboarding, or streamlining order processing.
Once an organization has deployed these solutions, it can consistently quantify, track, and publish the results to demonstrate value; generate investment for other automation initiatives; develop new ideas; and stop projects with little to no return.
4. Create an environment that welcomes automation and sharing of ideas.
Automation is often perceived as a mechanism to eliminate jobs and reduce costs, but humans are essential because they are uniquely capable of managing more strategic, relationship-building work. While the intrinsic purpose of automation is operational efficiency, the health of a business is really the driving factor behind adoption. An inefficient organization will eventually need to respond to business pressures or go out of business. Automation helps protect companies from the burden of inefficiency.
Encouraging team members to think about and share ideas on ways to remove inefficiencies and eliminate repetitive and manual processes can build an environment in which employees feel they are part of the automation strategy.
A Game Changer
Automation is a critical capability for any company looking to digitally transform. As organizations adapt to an unpredictable landscape, those that invest in automation are poised to reap significant cost savings and productivity benefits, while also increasing job satisfaction, work-life balance, and employee retention. Automation that enables companies to optimize processes and deliver personalized engagement at scale is a game changer for employee and customer experience.

By Mark Whitehouse and Mira Rojanasakul
July 7, 2017
The most recent U.S. jobs report, showing an unemployment rate of 4.4 percent in June, portrays an economy capable of generating plenty of work to keep Americans busy. But what if, in the not-too-distant future, there won’t be enough jobs to go around?
That’s what some economists believe will happen as robots and artificial intelligence increasingly become capable of performing human tasks. Researchers at the University of Oxford, for example, estimate that nearly half of all U.S. jobs may be at risk in the coming decades, with lower-paid occupations among the most vulnerable.
Wondering how vulnerable your job might be? Type your occupation into the chart below to see what the researchers think is the probability of your job being automated.
A College Degree Lowers Job Automation Risk
The best paid, most vulnerable occupations include accountants, benefits managers, credit analysts, and various insurance professionals. Low-paid occupations also tend to be most at-risk. They include cashiers, drivers, and food service workers. The best paid, least vulnerable occupations are doctors, dentists, and CEOs. Some lower-wage jobs with higher-education requirements are less likely to be automated.
Data on probability of automation are from "The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerization?" by Carl Frey and Michael Osborne. Data on average annual wage and typical educational requirements are estimates for 2016 and 2014, respectively, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The tech sector faced layoffs, rapid AI growth and skill gaps. What's next for 2025? Explore key trends, predictions and stats shaping the future of the tech job market.
By Alison Roller
Published: 13 Dec 2024
The tech market has been unsteady since the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent layoffs at major tech giants, such as Amazon, Microsoft and Meta. Add in the exponential growth of AI and automation, and it's no surprise the tech job market has been roiled over the past few years.
As technology advances and companies attempt to keep pace amid constant volatility, it begs the question: Will the uncertainty of the tech job market -- slow job growth, continuous layoffs and skill shortages -- continue into 2025?
Here are some statistics that clarify the tech job market in 2025.
1. Tech jobs in the U.S. are projected to grow at twice the rate of the overall workforce in the next decade
Tech jobs in the U.S. are projected to grow much faster than average, according to the Computing Technology Industry Association's (CompTIA) 2024 "State of the Tech Workforce" report. The report projected tech job growth from 6 million in 2024 to 7.1 million in 2034.
2. More than 90% of organizations worldwide will be affected by the IT skills shortage by 2026
By 2026, the IT skills shortage will become a significant problem for most organizations globally, resulting in $5.5 trillion in losses, according to an IDC survey of North American IT leaders. Organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry predicted the skills shortage might leave as many as 85 million unfilled tech-related jobs by 2030.
3. 48% of tech organizations are prioritizing upskilling and cross-skilling over new hires
The Linux Foundation reported that a growing number of organizations, in response to technological advances and a tough labor market, are investing internally to close skill gaps rather than hiring new talent or consultants.
4. Python is the most in-demand programming language
According to Indeed's "Tapping Into Today's Tech Talent" report from October 2024, Python is the most in-demand skill in job listings, followed by experience with AWS, which enjoyed the largest growth in demand in the last year, as well as Oracle, Java and JavaScript.
5. The worldwide average salary for IT professionals is $88,448
Skillsoft's "2024-25 IT Skills and Salary Report" stated the average worldwide salary for IT professionals has increased nearly 5% since last year. North America recorded the highest average salary of $113,211 in comparison to three other regions: Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa, or EMEA; and Asia-Pacific.
6. LinkedIn job listings referencing AI have more than doubled worldwide from 2021 to 2023
LinkedIn's November 2023 "Future of Work Report: AI at Work" highlighted the ever-increasing demand for AI skills as organizations integrate AI into their business practices. Other hiring platforms concur. Indeed's Hiring Lab reported a 30-fold increase in generative AI-related jobs from January 2023 to February 2024, though they still make up a relatively small part of total jobs.
7. Nontech industries hired more tech talent workers than the tech industry in 2023
CBRE, a commercial real estate services and investment firm, found tech industry hiring is slowing. Nontech industries hire more tech talent than tech industries, a first in the CBRE "Scoring Tech Talent" report's 11-year history.
8. More than 225,000 tech employees have been laid off in 2024
Layoffs, rampant in the tech industry since the pandemic, aren't stopping. TrueUp's layoff tracker reported more than 1,000 rounds of layoffs in 2024, affecting nearly 700 people per day.
9. 56% of tech managers are loosening experience requirements to speed the hiring process
To combat hiring challenges, organizations are deprioritizing experience to help find and hire tech talent faster, according to Robert Half's 2025 salary guide. Additionally, the salary guide found technology leaders are taking other measures to attract top candidates, including 45% of leaders who've decided to increase pay. | 6 months ago | TechTarget | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 46 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

Automation creates the space for entirely new jobs: the UK must adopt, adapt and improve
Fears about robots taking people’s jobs are overplayed, say Rui Costa and Yuanhang Yu. Their research shows the real fear to overcome should be Britain’s lack of productivity-enhancing robots, software, artificial intelligence and other technologies.
Worries that jobs will be lost to automation are not new but have been heightened since a seminal study in 2013 warned that nearly half (47%) of jobs in the United States were at “high risk” of automation. Nearly a decade on, we look at both the current and longer-term picture of the relationship between technology, jobs and pay.
We make two observations. First the period since the 2013 Carl Frey and Michael Osborne study has been one of rising rather than falling employment. In the four decades to the 2000s, the UK’s employment rate tended to peak at around 73%; on the eve of the Covid-19 pandemic, it reached 76%. Second, it’s also the case that even some of the jobs considered by Frey and Osborne to be at highest risk of automation, such as car washers and kitchen assistants, have grown fast in this period. Alongside high employment, productivity and real wages have stagnated. On the face of it, this is not a picture that fits well with concerns about the loss of jobs to technology.
But of course, job destruction was only ever half of the story. Automation doesn’t just destroy jobs, it can also raise demand for other workers, and create the space for entirely new jobs. Consistent with this, we have evidence that exposure to automation has affected the cross-section of employment growth in the UK – both in the last decade but also in the longer term. This is consistent with what is now a wide body of international evidence pointing to the importance of automation for wage determination.
So, automation is affecting jobs. But the fact that aggregate employment continues to grow alongside these effects suggests automation’s job-destroying impact continues to be offset by positive indirect effects.
In Figure 1, we show employment growth from 2013 to 2019 for the occupations which, according to automobility probabilities produced by the Office for National Statistics and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development based on the Frey and Osborne study, were at highest and lowest risk of automation. There is some vindication for Frey and Osborne: generally speaking, the occupations with low risk (in blue – including doctors and teachers) have seen stronger employment growth than the occupations with highest risk of automation (the occupations in red – including farm drivers or shelf fillers). But there are important exemptions to this pattern. Some “high risk” occupations have seen strong employment growth – including leisure attendants and kitchen assistants.
Figure 1. Some occupations considered by Frey and Osborne to have the highest risk of automation have grown in size since their report in 2013
Notes: Occupations ordered by automatability score: lowest (top) to highest (bottom). Scores are taken from an ONS database, which maps Frey/Osborne automatability scores to UK occupations. Source: Employment data from analysis of LNS, ONS. Automatability scores are from ONS, derived from Frey/Osborne, published in the article: ONS, Which occupations are at highest risk of being automated?, July 2019. Used in the Economy 2030 report Adopt, Adapt and Improve, Nov 2022.
We also look at data spanning the last four decades, and set out how – at the level of different occupations and places – the adoption of and exposure to automation has shaped the UK labour market.
A clear pattern emerges when looking at the exposure to different technologies across pay percentiles: workers in lower-paid occupations have historically been more exposed to robot advancements, those in the middle of the pay distribution have seen software innovations being able to perform part of their tasks and higher earners may start to see some of their work being automated by artificial intelligence.
Higher robot exposure has been associated with worse employment and wage performance. On average over the last 40 years, the jobs most highly exposed to robotisation have experienced wage growth 10 percentage points lower than jobs with low exposure, and have seen employment fall (by roughly 50% on average), while jobs with the lowest exposure have seen employment grow by a similar amount.
Similar to workers exposed to robotic advancements, individuals working in occupations highly exposed to software technologies have seen slower employment growth over the last four decades. But the relation with respect to wage growth is less clear. It is too early to make an assessment of the effects of artificial intelligence on the economy and labour markets.
Automation doesn’t just destroy jobs: it can also raise demand for other workers; and create the space for entirely new jobs
While increased automation does present risks, it also presents opportunities for growth and rising living standards. Industries with higher rates of robot adoption, such as the automotive sector, have seen higher productivity gains than those with lower rates, such as metal production. Between 1995 and 2019, an industry with one additional robot per thousand workers experienced 3% faster productivity growth on average.
We find both negative and positive effects stemming from the adoption of new technologies, albeit unequally distributed across workers contingent on their occupation and industry. The focus for policymakers should not be to stop or prevent technological advancements that strongly contribute to create desirable increases in added value and productivity. Instead, the policy conversation should be directed at how best to prepare and retrain workers at risk of being adversely affected by automation technologies. A careful investigation of the effects of automation on workers, households and firms is required, for the formulation of efficient policies which minimise negative displacement effects of technology and ensure that gains in productivity and from reinstatement are more equally spread.
Overall, while we must remain vigilant to the impact of automation, especially since it affects some people and places more than others, the most pressing problems facing the UK economy are not too much automation, but low investment and low productivity growth. We should worry more about these and less about robots taking our jobs. | 27 months ago | LSE Blogs | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 47 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |

A new study from the Centre for Economics and Business Research and SnapLogic uncovers a direct connection between the adoption of automation and revenue growth, job creation, worker productivity, and economic resilience.
The study – ‘Automation: Past, Present, and Future - A Driving Force for Economic Growth’ – looks at the growing adoption of automation and its role in bolstering business revenues, creating jobs, increasing productivity, and strengthening economic resilience.
The new research finds that investments in automation are directly linked to increased business revenues (up 5-7%), job growth (up 4-7%), and long-term productivity (up 15%).
The research reveals that those businesses who invested in automation saw a marked increase in revenues. In addition, the research indicates that the more a country employs automation, the better equipped it is to deal with worldwide economic disruptions, such as a recession or the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
Increased Revenue - Within three months of investment, U.S. companies witnessed an average year-on-year increase in revenue of 7%, or an extra $195 billion per month, according to the study. UK companies saw an average increase of 5%, or £14 billion each month.
Economic Resilience - Analysis suggests that during the COVID-19 crisis, countries with greater adoption of automation were better equipped to deal with the disruption.
The report showcases a relationship between automation, job growth, and worker productivity. Despite some claims that automation can limit opportunities for employees, the results tell a different story:
Employment Growth - U.S. companies adopting automation-related technologies saw an average annual increase in employment of 7%, equating to a total of 7.2 million jobs, within three months (compared to one year earlier). UK companies saw an average increase of 4%, estimated to amount to 676,000 jobs in total.
Improved Productivity - In the UK, automation has the potential to increase productivity by 15% in the long-term, with notable benefits in industries such as transportation, healthcare, and social work. This translates into the potential to create up to 3.3 million additional jobs. If the same increase in productivity occurred in the U.S., it would support the creation of approximately 16 million jobs.
The popularity of automation continues to accelerate in both the U.S. and UK. According to the report, U.S. companies spent an average of 13% of their annual revenue (amounting to $4.4 trillion) on automation-related technologies, while in the UK there was an average spend of 8%, or £268 billion in total.
“Our new research confirms a significant positive relationship between automation and economic resilience,” said Josie Dent, Managing Economist at Cebr. “The adoption of automation, spurred on by the recent pandemic, has helped organizations shield themselves from disruption and quickly position themselves for accelerated growth. Automation has also led to job creation and greater worker productivity, a significant contrast to the economic picture seen in the period following the global financial crisis.”
“This first of its kind report from Cebr demonstrates the power of automation to help businesses navigate widespread disruption, and shows how it can be used as a tool to accelerate growth in a post-pandemic age,” said Gaurav Dhillon, CEO at SnapLogic. “Businesses today need to equip themselves with enterprise automation technologies that will allow them to quickly adapt and execute business strategies in a rapidly changing world.” | 43 months ago | Business Wire | data:image/png;base64,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 | 49 | job automation statistics | 2025-06-17 14:02:42 | null |
Search Here And See If Your Job Is Going To Die | https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-jobs-automation-risk/ | Nearly half of all U.S. jobs may be at risk in the coming decades. | Is Your Job About To Disappear?: QuickTake
By Mark Whitehouse, Mira Rojanasakul and Cedric Sam
June 22, 2017
Thirteen years ago, two prominent U.S. economists wrote that driverless cars couldn’t execute a left turn against oncoming traffic because too many factors were involved. Six years later, Google proved it could make fully autonomous cars, threatening the livelihoods of millions of truck and taxi drivers. Throughout much of the developed world, gainful employment is seen as almost a fundamental right. But what if, in the not-too-distant future, there won’t be enough jobs to go around? That’s what some economists think will happen as robots and artificial intelligence increasingly become capable of performing human tasks. Of course, past technological upheavals created more jobs than they destroyed. But some labor experts argue that this time could be different: Technology is replacing human brains as well as brawn.
When politicians talk about jobs, they tend to focus on iconic, goods-producing industries, such as mining, steel production and auto making, that have traditionally been the hardest hit by global competition and technological progress. Lately, though, the loss of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. pales in comparison to the much larger losses in parts of the services sector.
Top 10 Job-Losing Subsectors in the U.S.
Goods
Services
Overall, services accounted for three-fourths of the job losses among more than 350 sectors of the private economy in the last year. That’s a big shift from previous decades, when goods-producing categories tended to suffer the most losses.
Top Job-Losing Subsectors as of April 2017

The retail industry alone accounted for four of the ten subsectors with the biggest losses in the first four months of 2017, compared with the same period a year earlier

The effect on labor markets of free-trade agreements and increased immigration has already caused significant political upheaval, as the resurgence of populism in the U.S. and Europe demonstrates. But some economists believe that the world is on the cusp of much bigger change, on the scale of the revolution brought about by industrialization in the 18th and 19th centuries. Researchers at the University of Oxford estimate that nearly half of all U.S. jobs may be at risk in the coming decades, with lower-paid occupations among the most vulnerable.

Master’s
Bachelor’s
Associate’s
Postsecondary Nondegree Award

High School Diploma or Equivalent
No Formal Education Credential
Search by occupation:
The best paid, most vulnerable occupations include accountants, benefits managers, credit analysts, and various insurance professionals Low-paid occupations also tend to be most at-risk. They include cashiers, drivers, and food service workers The best paid, least vulnerable occupations are doctors, dentists and CEOs Some lower-wage jobs with higher-education requirements are less likely to be automated
In the U.K., the Bank of England estimates that about 15 million mostly service jobs—half the country’s total—could succumb to automation and widen the gap between rich and poor. A McKinsey Global Institute study of the labor force in 46 countries found that less than 5 percent of occupations could be fully automated using today's technology, but almost a third of tasks involved in 60 percent of occupations could be.
There’s ample room for skepticism. U.S. productivity growth has been slow, exactly the opposite of what one would expect if robots were taking over. Also, advances in artificial intelligence could end up focusing mostly on specific tasks rather than entire jobs, augmenting rather than replacing humans. That said, history teaches us that it’s hard to predict how technological change will unfold. Even if, as some economists predict, new jobs and industries eventually replace those being automated, large portions of the global workforce may need retraining. And if work becomes a luxury, widespread joblessness and greater inequality could redefine the challenge of ensuring a social safety net.

One positive from the report was that 'skill instability' has declined steadily as a result of training, reskilling and upskilling programmes.
Employers of the future workplace must develop a knowledge-first workforce and deploy workforce transformation strategies, often supported by agentic AI.
Picture this scenario:
Kate, a product designer at an automotive manufacturing enterprise, enrols for an e-learning programme to advance her career as a product engineer. After completing the basic modules, she undergoes an assessment via a chatbot. It rates her domain knowledge and shares learning material for Kate to qualify for further modules in her career trajectory. She takes a reassessment after learning advanced engineering principles and scores an A+. The e-learning platform notifies Kate’s HR manager, via email, who initiates the next action.
This scenario is likely to be the state of a majority of jobs in the future. The World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report 2025 analyzed technological, societal and economic trends shaping the jobs of the future. It revealed that the working population is ageing and decreasing at the same time in higher-income economies, but growing in lower-income economies. Similarly, advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and automation, are creating new opportunities for business analysts, while eliminating other roles, such as warehouse operators. These interconnected macrotrends are set to change the dynamics of the global labour pool by 2030.

The shift in demographic patterns and technology adoption are disrupting existing skills and occupations. In fact, almost 39% of current skillsets will be overhauled or outdated between 2025 and 2030, according to the Future of Jobs Report. This survey distilled inputs from 1,000+ global enterprises across 22 industries and 55 economies, accounting for more than 14 million workers.

Mitigating employment risks
The silver lining: 'skill instability' has declined steadily as a result of training, reskilling and upskilling programmes – from 57% in 2020 to 44% in 2023, according to the report.
A skills gap is an existential risk for both employers and a multi-generational workforce. Employers require a pool of skills of the day to drive business growth. Likewise, employees need to acquire emerging skills to shoulder bigger responsibilities and plan their career growth. A majority of enterprises implement talent development programmes to boost employability, upskill staff for higher-ranking roles and redeploy teams based on skill demand within the organization.
The integration of AI boosts learning and development programmes. AI algorithms are evolving and getting more sophisticated in terms of functionality and capability. AI systems use generalized cognitive abilities to undertake complex tasks and resolve problems in diverse domains, including education, without manual intervention. Generative AI models are pre-trained with massive domain-specific datasets to generate text, audio and visual content, which mirrors work by humans. Agentic AI takes it to the next level by blending historical knowledge and instructions in natural language with the enterprise context to make accurate decisions, act autonomously and achieve goals.
Agentic AI helps prioritize training in accordance with business needs
Agentic AI helps HR professionals prioritize emerging skills during recruitment and promotions. It also helps develop a personalized training regimen to address long-term, business-specific skillsets. Further, AI-powered methodologies achieve learning goals by driving active study behaviour and cognitive engagement with course material. Moreover, knowledge retention and application are superior when learning is intuitive.
Most importantly, AI learning tools not only enhance core skills and technical expertise, but also impart essential life skills, such as analytical thinking, flexibility and agility. This is highlighted by the Pearson 2024 End of Year AI Report for Higher Education, based on research conducted by Pearson in collaboration with Morning Consult. Students using AI features in Pearson+ eTextbooks developed cognitive and critical thinking skills, while active engagement quadrupled.
In addition, AI study tools simplify tasks for tutors. A survey by Pearson and Intertwine Insights revealed that 77% of higher education faculty members plan to adopt generative AI for augmenting instruction at 2-year and 4-year institutions in the US, according to the Pearson 2024 End of Year AI Report for Higher Education. AI tools help professors create summaries, flashcards, practice tests and study guides, enabling them to better mentor students.
Designing the future of work
Increasingly, job roles and responsibilities across industries demand an amalgamation of human capabilities. Social and interpersonal skills, including the ability to lead, adapt, collaborate, motivate, empathize and influence, will be imperative to thrive in the technology-driven work environment of the future.
On the one hand, AI-driven automation of tasks, workflows and processes creates capacity, enabling enterprises to maximize efficiency, cost savings and productivity in capital and labour. A boost in workplace productivity in routine and repetitive tasks, powered by AI, can help workers in the USA save 78 million hours a week by 2026, according to the Pearson Reclaim the Clock: How Generative AI Can Power People at Work Skills Outlook series.
On the other hand, AI augments the skills set of younger and less-experienced knowledge workers. It allows an autonomous, self-governing work style for skilled professionals. The workforce ecosystem is expanding to include hired employees, professional service providers, crowdsourcing partners, independent workers, contractors and gig workers. It is estimated that remote work will grow to 90 million jobs by 2030, according to a World Economic Forum white paper, The Rise of Global Digital Jobs. The workforce profile of this ecosystem expects autonomy and flexibility in location, as well as time of work.
Agentic AI helps navigate emerging challenges and seize new opportunities in this ecosystem. It helps design the future of work by empowering enterprises to explore new areas of value amid shifting market dynamics. Agentic AI incorporates the best of both worlds – hyper-personalization and scalability – into the learning journey. AI agents enhance the learning environment, optimize learning paths and identify knowledge gaps, which helps educators and trainers to provide targeted assistance and improve outcomes across skill and competency levels, domains and professions.
Notably, agentic AI helps imagine agile ways of working, especially in terms of where, when and how work gets done. It also enables HR managers to redefine work and redesign jobs to generate tangible value for customers and the business, while ensuring that the extended enterprise is productive and still allows for a work-life balance.
Rethinking workplace learning
EdTech enterprises are creating a skill-oriented economy by promoting targeted learning and facilitating lifelong learning for employees. The integration of agentic AI into existing platforms maximizes career-focused vocational qualifications, as well as workforce learning and development programmes and establishes a new social contract in talent development. In addition, it helps meet global demand for requisite skills in automated environments, while ensuring that reskilling and upskilling amplify latent human potential, including problem solving, decision making and creative thinking.
Learning solution providers capitalize on AI-based predictive insights into global workforce trends, enabling enterprises to develop workplace strategies for the future. Strategic partnerships with digital learning service providers enable business enterprises to streamline workforce planning, talent sourcing and talent development. Notably, integrated solutions that combine digital credentialing and verification services with learning platforms enhance the reskilling, upskilling and lifelong learning experience, while boosting employability outcomes.
Collaboration with AI EdTech platform providers enables enterprises to be more responsive to changes brought about by shifts in technology, economics, society and behaviour. The integration of psychometric evaluation and occupational assessment into e-learning platforms enhances recruitment and targeted talent development. These tests identify and address skills gaps in the workforce, ensuring a blend of technical and soft skills to succeed in the dynamic business landscape. Significantly, it aligns the workforce with strategic goals and organizational values.
Employers of the future workplace need to develop a knowledge-first workforce. Legacy talent management practices should be replaced with workforce transformation strategies. Agentic AI redefines training models and learning platforms to drive personalized skills development at scale. This empowers enterprises to adapt to the future state of work and the evolving dynamics at the workplace. | 1 month ago | The World Economic Forum | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 3 | AI workforce transformation | 2025-06-17 14:02:45 | null |

New research from Orgvue found that 39% of global leaders have made employees redundant because of AI, with 55% regretting it later. CEO Oliver Shaw spoke exclusively to UNLEASH to share his thoughts on the data, which suggests that AI is the dominant driver of workforce transformation, with 72% of leaders expecting it to remain in poll position for the next three years. However, the number of leaders that expect AI to replace employees in their organization has declined over the past 12 months, from 48% to 54% in 2024. These leaders also feel less responsibility to protect their workers from redundancies, with 34% sharing they’ve had employees resign as a direct result of AI. This, the report suggests, could be due to confusion around AI, and that employees don’t have the correct skills to use the technology correctly. In fact, 35% of leaders surveyed found AI expertise to be one of the biggest barriers to successful deployment, with 25% sharing that they’re unaware as to which roles will benefit the most from its use. Eight in ten leaders reported that they wanted to upskill their current workforce, to combat one of their biggest fears – employees using AI without proper controls. Additionally, over half felt that introducing policies around AI regulation would help curb this risk, with 41% having increased their L&D budgets to provide employees with the correct training. | 4 weeks ago | Unleash | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 5 | AI workforce transformation | 2025-06-17 14:02:45 | null |
