Many job seekers are concerned that their jobs will be replaced by AI, but is this true? This project attempts to analyze the effects generative AI tools have had on the United States job market. We look at both the perception in the US job market about the use of generative AI in the workplace and the actual impact on the job market. To accomplish this, numerous surveys and polls were compiled from various institutions that ask employees and employers what job markets they think are most vulnerable to change from generative AI as well as their general perspective on its ability and effects. To measure direct changes in job markets, job posting data from indeed was compared directly to the usage of generative AI tools over time. Combined together, the data suggests a stabilization in job hiring rather than a decline coinciding with generative AI usage, despite fears.
