This paper examines how artificial intelligence is affecting employment, focusing on differences across occupations and career stages. It finds early evidence of weaker employment growth for young workers in highly AI-exposed roles, while older workers and workers whose jobs are augmented by AI may experience gains; less-exposed occupations such as home health care show stronger employment growth.
