AI to create more US jobs than displaced, but 11M Americans need new skills · McKinsey research

New research from McKinsey & Company indicates that while AI will create more jobs than it displaces in the U.S. by 2035, approximately 11 million Americans will need to transition to new occupations. These transitions will require significant retraining and credentialing, with many growing jobs mandating degrees or certifications. The study highlights that the primary obstacle for workers is not a lack of aptitude but the financial and time investment required for education, suggesting that employers could ease these transitions by re-evaluating non-essential credentialing requirements. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for workforce adaptation and retraining as AI reshapes job markets, emphasizing credentialing as a key barrier.
