Why it moved the index
The report adds granular national evidence that AI-related labor effects may fall unevenly even before aggregate job loss appears. Its association with lower growth in full-time and permanent work for vulnerable groups has a direct displacement nexus. Magnitude and confidence are limited because the finding concerns traditional AI, adoption remained low, and the analysis establishes association rather than causation while finding little negative aggregate effect.
