Where AI Is Really Taking Jobs
The latest Signal Pro post examines real‑world data on AI’s impact on employment, citing the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs Report and Stanford’s Digital Economy Lab study. While the WEF forecasts a net gain of 78 million jobs by 2030, the Stanford analysis shows a 13% employment decline for workers aged 22‑25 in AI‑exposed roles. The piece distinguishes between “automate” jobs that are shrinking and “augment” jobs that are expanding, and offers a practical 20‑minute audit to help professionals assess their own risk. It concludes with a 90‑day upskilling plan for those whose tasks fall in the automation zone.
