"Dayforce will today release its annual pulse survey of roughly 7,000 workers in six countries, showing that 71% of workers have not received AI training in the past year-even though 63% of workers say developing such skills is important. The result is that 27% of the workers surveyed say they're using AI on the job, vs 87% of executives and 57% of managers."
"On one hand, companies like Upwork and Fiverr have suffered as generative AI has disrupted simple contract jobs like copyediting and translation. But I recently spoke with Upwork CEO Hayden Brown about how AI is enabling the platform to win more business from larger enterprise clients. She cites research showing 63% of executives feel they don't have adequate talent in-house, which may explain why searches for skills like prompt engineering rose more than 50% on Upwork in the last quarter."
Government shutdown prevented release of the latest jobs figures while the Trump Administration seeks new leadership for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics despite withdrawing a prior nomination. Dayforce's annual pulse survey of roughly 7,000 workers in six countries found 71% had not received AI training in the past year, while 63% consider developing AI skills important. The survey shows 27% of workers use AI on the job compared with 87% of executives and 57% of managers. Generative AI has disrupted simple freelance tasks, yet Upwork reports 250,000 AI experts (80,000 in the U.S.) and a more than 50% rise in prompt-engineering searches as 63% of executives report inadequate in-house talent. Markets were broadly up.
