But new research suggests a more nuanced reality. Rather than causing widespread unemployment, AI may be creating a growing divide between workers whose skills are enhanced by AI and those whose work is increasingly vulnerable to automation and consolidation.In this episode, Steve examines new labor market data, emerging trends in AI adoption, and why the future of work may be less about job replacement and more about who has access to the skills, tools, and opportunities needed to thrive in an AI-powered economy.To listen to the Workplace Minute powered by H3 HR Advisors on Amazon Alexa – add the Workplace Minute by H3 HR Advisors skill to your Amazon Echo device’s Flash Briefing or Daily News Update.NEW: Download the H3 HR Advisors 2026 Workplace Trends Report hereThe HR Happy Hour Network is sponsored by Workhuman – The future of HR has arrived.
