Democrats sound alarm over AI job apocalypse — but labor market isn't following script
Top Democrats, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, have raised fears of an AI-induced job apocalypse, demanding government intervention for workers. However, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that since late 2022, jobs in the U.S. continued to be added while unemployment stayed at historically low levels. Experts counter this alarm by noting that innovation has routinely replaced some jobs with opportunities for new value and service.
