The U.S. labor share of income fell to 52.8% in the second quarter of 2026, its lowest level since data collection began in 1947. That compares with 53.6% in the previous quarter and an average of 55.6% so far this decade—even as Fortune 500 companies posted record profits of $2.1 trillion in 2025. The decline coincides with a slowdown in hiring: just 584,000 jobs were added in 2025, compared with 2 million in 2024, raising concerns that the gains from economic growth are being distributed less evenly. Automation, artificial intelligence, and a drop of around 1.1 million to 1.4 million in the foreign-born workforce since January 2025 are all cited as putting pressure on workers’ share of income. Experts say investing in skills and retraining—including for occupations that are difficult to automate—is essential to keep pace with the labor market and support economic growth.
