What Happened

The exact impact AI will have on the enterprise labor market is unclear but investors predict trends will start to emerge in 2026.

Our Take

Investors have been saying this for two years. The vagueness is the point — it's unfalsifiable. Some jobs will get hit, sure.

But "trends will emerge in 2026" is pure hedging. Real impact already happened in specific domains (support automation, code generation). Broader labor shock? Still waiting.

The prediction is safe because it's too broad to be wrong.

What To Do

Watch actual hiring and firing data from public companies instead of investor predictions.
