“In data provided by Lightcast, roughly 1 in 10 job postings requires at least one new skill in advanced economies, and the incidence is about half of that for emerging market economies.”
“Although vacancies demanding new AI-related skills post higher wages, they have so far not boosted overall employment in US local labor markets.”
“Further, the empirical analysis shows that—for occupations that are highly exposed to AI, but with limited scope for complementarity—employment levels are 3.6 percent lower in regions with greater demand for AI-related skills than in other regions five years after the appearance of these skills.”
“These skills boost average wages and employment but deepen polarization, mostly benefitting high- and—through higher consumption of services—low-skilled workers, and potentially contributing to the shrinking of the middle class.”
“Because Lightcast relies on online job postings, the data provide a detailed picture of skill demand in the formal economy but naturally overrepresent professional, technical, and higher-skill occupations.”
