The Canaries Dashboard, a project of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and ADP Research, tracks employment changes in occupations with varying degrees of exposure to artificial intelligence. The dashboard detects employment shifts in near-real time, replacing guesswork about AI’s impact with data by occupation, age, and gender. Beginning today, ADP Research will update our readers on the dashboard’s top line findings each month. To learn more, tune into our July 22 webinar at noon ET / 9 a.m. PT.

Employment in occupations with high exposure to AI contracted 0.2 percent in June from a year earlier, according to new data from the Canaries Dashboard, a project of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and ADP Research. Employment in the least-exposed occupations grew by 0.6 percent year over year.

Early career workers

Young workers continued to see negative employment growth in many AI-exposed roles, even as overall employment is broadly stable.

Among workers aged 22 to 25, employment in jobs with high exposure to AI fell by 4.3 percent year over year, marking 33 straight months of contraction, a trend that began in October 2023. Among those workers whose jobs are the least-exposed to AI, employment was flat year over year.

For early career workers aged 26 to 30 in jobs with high exposure to AI, employment fell by 2.6 percent in June from the year prior. For these workers in the least-exposed jobs, employment was up nearly 0.9 percent.
