Labor market impacts of AI: A new measure and early evidence
Anthropic
Researchers developed a new measure of AI displacement risk called observed exposure that weights automated work-related uses more heavily than augmentative ones. Although current AI coverage remains far below its theoretical potential, occupations with high exposure are projected to grow less through 2034 and are disproportionately occupied by older, female, and higher-paid workers. Early data shows no systematic increase in unemployment for these exposed workers since late 2022, though there is suggestive evidence of slower hiring for younger workers in those fields.
