In 2024, the top U.S. tech firms generated $268 billion from AI, a success contrasted sharply by the loss of hundreds of thousands of middle-class jobs.
Artificial intelligence is now automating white-collar roles in sectors like law, finance, and journalism, undermining established career paths. This shift drastically reduces job stability and income predictability for mid-skilled workers, while entry-level positions essential for skill-building are rapidly vanishing. As a result, wealth is increasingly concentrated among AI company owners, leaving many workers with unstable, lower-paying work.
This divergence echoes a decades-long trend where productivity growth (64.6% between 1979 and 2022) has vastly outpaced worker pay increases (17.3%). The shrinking middle class and its declining share of national wealth present a critical threat to U.S. social and economic stability. Ultimately, AI is accelerating economic restructuring that benefits capital owners at the expense of traditional labor.
