.@BharatKChandar, @RuyuChen and I just released an updated version of our paper "Canaries in the Coal Mine?" The headline is that we still don't see any widespread job displacement due to AI, but the earlier trends we identified hold up or even grow. E.g., the relative decline for young people in AI-exposed jobs widened to 19% by June 2026, from 15% in our first wave. We also looked at changes in interest rates, remote work, the tech sector boom and bust and remote work, but none of them seem to explain the effects we see for AI-exposed jobs. Bharat has a great thread below with more detial. It ends with links to the new paper and to a short blog post summarizing what's new. I'd love to hear what you think. New + improved "Canaries in the Coal Mine? Six Facts About the Recent Employment Effects of Artificial Intelligence" w/ @erikbryn @RuyuChen No widespread job displacement, but gaps for AI-exposed 22-25 y/o widened to 19% by June 2026 in ADP sample Paper, summary ⬇️
