Why it moved the index
The cross-country analysis supplies observed evidence of weaker hiring in sectors where labor-automating AI tools are already available, with the strongest pressure in call centers and among junior workers. The magnitude remains moderate because the researchers find only a 0.1 percentage-point annual headcount drag for each 10% of occupational exposure and describe the economy-wide effect as limited.
