Key Findings

* Minimal Economy-Wide Impact: Data updated through September 2026 shows that employment, unemployment rates, and wage trends for AI-exposed workers largely mirror historical patterns and pre-AI trajectories.

* No Unusual Occupational Churn: Changes in the mix of occupations across industries (occupational churn) remain flat and show no acceleration or divergence since the late 2022 launch of ChatGPT.

* Exposed vs. Unexposed Workers: Synthetic differences-in-differences comparisons between AI-exposed and unexposed workers reveal no strong, consistent statistical footprint of AI-driven displacement, though slight volatility in unemployment growth for high-exposure groups continues to be monitored.

* Capital vs. Labor: Companies cutting jobs or restructuring are generally doing so for broader macro or capital-investment reasons rather than direct workforce replacement by AI agents.
