Anthropic’s head of economics just explained why Anthropic’s CEO was wrong about a white-collar bloodbath

Anthropic’s head of economics, Peter McCrory, published an analysis arguing AI has not significantly increased U.S. unemployment, contradicting CEO Dario Amodei’s warnings of an imminent 'white-collar bloodbath.' McCrory cited data showing stable unemployment rates and no relative deterioration in jobs most exposed to AI automation, attributing this to AI’s 'jagged' capability profile that still requires human oversight.
