A new analysis of more than 21,000 U.S. companies reveals that companies investing heavily in artificial intelligence are increasing their workforce, not shrinking it.

Researchers examined real-world data from labor transactions and records, showing that organizations that spend an average of $3.67 per worker per month on AI saw a 10.2% increase in their total headcount after adoption. Entry-level positions at these companies grew by 12%, a rate higher than overall hiring.

Companies with low AI integration saw no substantial changes in employment or entry-level hiring. Growth was seen in departments such as engineering, sales, administration, customer service, finance, and marketing.

These increases developed steadily over the 24 months following AI adoption, suggesting a structural shift in the workplace.

Additional evidence from international studies, including PwC's analysis of job advertisements, supports these findings.
