A modelled estimate of AI's net effect on jobs worldwide, calibrated to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025. Both sides are projections: the displaced side is flat, and everything we have counted so far accounts for none of the created side. How it is built.

The panel is concentrated: its five largest employers are 29.2% of these roles, and Accenture alone is 14.4%.

Hiring momentum

Open AI-titled roles counted directly from the public job boards of 200 tracked employers, snapshotted every day. The dashed line is rebuilt from each posting's original publish date on the employer's feed; the thin solid line is our daily observed count across every employer we track; the thick dark line is the like-for-like count, held to the same employers throughout, and it is the one to read. Those two lines do not cover the same employers: the thick one is held to those tracked since day one.

  • Like-for-like: the same 22 employers throughout
  • Observed daily count, all 200 employers
  • Rebuilt from posting dates
  • No snapshot Aug 1–12 — the break is missing data, not a quiet market

How this number is built

This tracker reports both directions, and it is careful about which one it can actually see. We monitor live AI-role listings posted by employers on their own public job boards, then scale that observed hiring to a global estimate calibrated to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 — 11 million jobs created and 9 million displaced by 2030. The creation side therefore moves with something we measure. The displacement side does not: no employer publishes a feed of the jobs their AI replaced, so that figure runs at a flat projected rate and is labelled as such. The daily figure resets at midnight UTC and the monthly figure rolls over on the first. It is an indicator of the trend, not a census, and we publish the underlying daily data as a free CSV so anyone can check our work.
