In 2008-09, it was the subprime mortgage crisis. In 2020, it was the pandemic. In 2022, it was the invasion of Ukraine. And now, we have AI.

All of these things contributed to destabilization of economies – and at the individual level, anxieties around job security.

In Workable's AI in Hiring & Work survey, one of the questions we asked was about how employees are feeling about AI's emergence as a mainstay in the workplace.

So, are employees worried about their jobs? Yep, they are.

Nearly seven out of 10 (68.1%) say employees in their company frequently or occasionally express concerns about AI impacting their job security.

Only 7.9% – less than one in 12 – say they don't see those concerns being raised in their workplace.
