Goldman: job growth is weaker in industries adopting AI faster
New Goldman Sachs research finds that industries using AI more heavily show slower employment growth and higher unemployment, especially in hiring of young people. 23% of US establishments use AI regularly, and according to Stanford ADP data the gap stems more from reduced hiring than from layoffs.
Who is affected and how
- early-career professional
- The effect shows mainly in hiring, so entry into AI-affected industries is harder.
- job seeker
- Sectors adopting AI quickly have fewer open positions.
- manager
- In headcount planning, hiring freezes and natural attrition are the main channel of the AI effect.
