The study investigates the relationship between AI adoption and firms’ job-posting behavior using data from Lightcast and the Census Bureau’s Business Trends and Outlook Survey. The findings suggest that, thus far, there is no evidence of a reduction in job postings for industries or firms with higher levels of AI adoption. While the overall slowdown in national job postings post-pandemic is not driven by AI, the study emphasizes the need for ongoing monitoring of potential labor market impacts.
