AI agents are changing how people work around the world. This weekly update shows big changes happening to workers everywhere.

Many workers are losing their jobs because of AI. In the United States, over 10,000 people lost their jobs this year because companies started using AI instead. From January to June 2025, about 78,000 tech workers lost their jobs directly because of AI. That means 491 people lost their job to AI every single day.

Young workers are getting hit the hardest. Companies cut the number of workers aged 21 to 25 in half at big tech companies between 2023 and 2025. Many entry-level jobs that new college graduates used to get are disappearing. Jobs like Sales Development Representatives are going away, while new jobs like Prompt Engineer are starting to appear.

Workers are scared about their future. A new report shows that 42% of workers fear they will lose their job because of AI. Another study found that 41% of workers think robots will replace them in the next two years. About 61% of workers already feel AI changing their work.

Companies are not helping workers learn new skills. Even though 82% of business leaders know their workers need new AI skills, only 38% of companies in the US are actually helping their workers learn about AI. This creates a big problem because workers don't know how to use the new technology.

AI agents are taking over office work. Experts think AI agents could replace up to 70% of office work by 2030. These smart computer programs can do many tasks that people used to do, like scheduling meetings and analyzing data. A big bank called Morgan Stanley says AI will touch 90% of all jobs in some way.

The future looks different for different workers. About 25% of jobs will become much better and more efficient with AI help. But 75% of jobs, especially middle management roles, might become obsolete. The World Economic Forum says 41% of employers plan to reduce their workforce by 2030 because of AI.

Some workers are finding new opportunities. Companies that use AI the right way can create more jobs, not fewer. Workers who learn to use AI tools are becoming more valuable. But workers need clear training and support from their companies to succeed in this new world.
