AI is reshaping how we work, how businesses compete, and how economies grow. Our latest LinkedIn report reveals that generative AI could unlock $6.6 trillion in productivity across US, UK, France, Germany, and India. Already, 51% of US companies are adopting this technology, outpacing the rest of the world. And it’s delivering results: companies using AI are seeing double-digit revenue growth. But while hiring for AI roles is accelerating, the supply of talent with AI skills isn’t keeping up. Generative AI presents a massive opportunity, but to seize it, business leaders and policymakers must act now to close the skills gap and help prepare the workforce for the changes ahead.

LinkedIn data shows that generative AI is already transforming the workplace, with growing demand for AI skills and more people — both men and women — using AI tools and recognizing its potential. While AI will automate repetitive tasks like data entry and processing, freeing workers to focus on more strategic or people-focused work, some roles — such as writing and data analysis — face greater disruption. Research from the Economic Graph Research Institute suggests that men and women don’t have equal opportunities to benefit from this transformation, with 1 in 3 women working in roles expected to be disrupted by GAI. However, optimism about AI is rising: Recent surveys show both men and women increasingly believe AI will help their careers, with gender gaps closing in several countries.

"I'm betting on people" Love this insight from Karin Kimbrough. While roles like "AI Engineer" and "AI Consultant" are among the fastest-growing jobs in the U.S., human skills like conflict resolution remain irreplaceable. The key is to leverage AI to enhance your role, not replace it!

In our latest State of the Market update, Kory Kantenga, Ph.D., Head of Economics, Americas, at LinkedIn reports on the latest global hiring trends. Here are some key takeaways: 📌 US: The LinkedIn Hiring Rate is showing a slight uptick, suggesting that last summer’s labor market slowdown may be easing. However, uncertainty around trade, fiscal, and monetary policies could still slow recovery if businesses hold back on expansion due to concerns over tariffs. 📌 Canada: Hiring hasn’t seen the same boost, but signs of stabilization are emerging with smaller declines. However, ongoing trade tensions with the US could push both Canada and Mexico into recession this year, likely leading to slower hiring and higher unemployment. 📌 Middle East and Asia Pacific regions: Hiring is strong, with countries like India and the UAE seeing solid growth. However, hiring in Australia and Singapore is slowing at a moderate pace, similar to trends in Canada. 📌 Europe: Hiring continues to slow, particularly in Germany, France, and the UK. However, the Netherlands is showing early signs of improvement in 2025, with a slight increase in hiring. Read the full update here: https://lnkd.in/g9N4jdm6

New research from the Economic Graph Research Institute sheds light on the latest trends in remote work. Here are some key findings: 📌 Many job seekers worldwide still prefer remote work. In the US, for instance, over 1 in 5 LinkedIn job seekers exclusively apply for remote positions, just slightly below the peak seen in mid-2022. 📌 At the same time, companies are offering fewer remote jobs, the continued demand from job seekers. At its peak in early 2022, 27% of US jobs that members applied to offered remote flexibility. By late 2024 that number dropped to 16%. 📌 The availability of remote work has closely followed the ups and downs of the job market. With job seekers still strongly preferring remote options, it’s clear that remote work has become a key bargaining tool between workers and employers, shaped by current market conditions.
