AI growth delays US unemployment surge
Artificial intelligence has so far contributed to creating new jobs in the U.S. labor market, adding nearly one million positions since mid-2023, compared to around 200,000 jobs eliminated due to technology. Although some routine jobs have been affected and there is an increased demand for technical skills, investments in infrastructure for data centers focused on operating AI are expanding. This has led to the creation of approximately 320,000 new jobs in the contracting and manufacturing sectors, accompanied by higher wages in these fields. While some traditional roles are declining, the market is reallocating labor demand by emerging into tech and specialized jobs. However, the greatest challenge remains in workers' ability to upgrade their skills to keep pace with technological changes.
