Goldman Sachs estimates that workers displaced from AI-exposed occupations took about one month longer to find a new job. One year after being laid off, they were roughly 10 percentage points more likely to remain unemployed. Under the bank’s baseline scenario, AI could displace about 9% of US workers, or nearly 15 million people, over the next decade, with an additional 3% drag from slower hiring. Net job losses attributed to AI ran at around 11,000 per month as of June 2026, down from 16,000 earlier in the year. In September 2026, AI was cited in 21% of announced layoffs, while entry-level and younger workers, including Generation Z, appear particularly vulnerable.
