This week's workforce impact news shows significant concerns about AI agents taking over jobs from people around the world. In the United States, companies have already cut close to 50,000 jobs because of AI so far this year, with many using new AI agents that can do complex work like customer service, writing code, and handling research without stopping. Recent data shows that between January and July 2025 alone, U.S. companies cut more than 800,000 jobs, marking a big jump from the same period in 2024. AI agents are starting to handle work that many people used to do, from talking to customers 24/7 to helping with hiring decisions. However, workers aren't happy about this change. A recent survey found that 74% of workers feel uncomfortable being interviewed by AI agents, with many saying it feels impersonal. Workers want humans to be involved in decisions about their jobs and careers. Despite these worries, many people aren't actually worried yet about losing their jobs to AI, even when told it could happen soon. Meanwhile, lawmakers are warning that unemployment among recent college graduates could jump to as high as 25% in the next two to three years if nothing is done to help, especially since AI agents keep getting better at doing entry-level work. The problem is that AI agents are progressing quickly - they've moved from simple chatbots to sophisticated tools that can do complicated tasks for hours at a time.
