What Did This Week’s WEBO Say About Workers’ Opinions on Artificial Intelligence?

The Weekly Economic & Business Outlook—or WEBO—is an ASA resource that goes out to member email boxes every Tuesday morning. Every week, ASA researchers examine trends within the staffing industry, as well as developments within the broader economy, and then deliver succinct takeaways that can help drive strategic business decisions.

In the most recent edition, ASA analysts looked at data on artificial intelligence adoption and feelings among U.S. workers about the potential effects of the technology. About half of U.S. workers responding to a survey by the Pew Research Center are worried about the impact of AI use in the workplace in the future—more than the respondents who said they feel hopeful or excited. ASA researchers also addressed ways a tight labor market could affect employment prospects for this year’s college graduates.

The WEBO is a powerful and targeted data and analysis tool with features designed to deliver the data-driven intelligence you need to track trends and capitalize on opportunities. To make sure you’re getting your WEBO each week, as well as other ASA research emails, click the “Unsubscribe/Manage Email Preferences” link at the very bottom of this email and opt in to research content. Also, be sure to allow emails from research@americanstaffing.net.
