In the second quarter of 2025, 9.2% of U.S. companies adopted AI, rising from 7.4% in the previous quarter. Despite this surge, the labor market shows minimal disruption. Key metrics like job growth, wage gains, and unemployment rates in AI-affected sectors are not significantly different from less affected sectors. AI-related job postings constitute 24% of IT positions but only 1.5% of total jobs. The unemployment rate for AI-exposed roles aligns with broader trends, contradicting earlier fears of widespread displacement.
"AI's impact on the labor market remains limited and there is no sign of a significant impact on most labor market outcomes."
"Despite a surge in AI adoption across U.S. firms, overall labor market outcomes remain largely unaffected for now."
"AI-related job postings now account for 24% of all IT openings, but still represent just 1.5% of total job postings."
"The unemployment rate for AI-exposed occupations has now reconciled with the wider economy, refuting early fears of mass displacement."
