Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Industries making greater use of AI in routine business functions are showing weaker employment growth and higher unemployment. Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius expects the economic boost from AI investment to peak in late 2026 or early 2027. This suggests a shift in labor market dynamics driven by technology adoption.
