AI is hitting UK harder than other big economies, study finds

AI is takin' over the UK job scene, man! 8% net job loss rate? That's like, a major thing! I made this little diagram to show how it's affectin' the job market:

I don't blame 'em for gettin' nervous, tho . It's like, the world is changin' fast, and some people are strugglin' to keep up . Businesses need to start thinkin' about creatin' new jobs, prioritizein' entry-level positions first . We gotta support each other, fam!

OMG u think 8% is a lot of job loss? I'd say its not that bad...people are getting paid more & productivity has gone up dont get me wrong tho AI does suck the life outta jobs but who's gonna create new ones on time ? UK r just slow to adapt like always .

I don’t usually comment but I think this whole AI thing is getting out of hand . I mean, I get it, productivity gains are nice and all that jazz, but 8% net job loss? That's crazy talk . And the fact that young folks are worried about their jobs disappearing in the next five years? It's no wonder they're anxious .

And what really gets me is how businesses are just going to let these jobs go without a second thought . I mean, I've seen friends get laid off from companies who were like "oh, AI can do that job now" and then just expected them to upskill and reskill . Like, yeah okay but where's the support for that? Where's the training and education?

It's all well and good for Jamie Dimon to say we need to intervene to protect displaced workers , but what's actually going to happen? Is anyone even listening? The World Economic Forum is right, though – we do need collective action to mitigate this tech-induced disruption . Maybe it's time for a rethink on how we approach work and education?

AI is like a ghost that's taking over jobs without anyone noticing... at least not until it's too late . I mean, 8% net job loss? That's crazy talk! Productivity gains are one thing, but what about the human cost? I feel bad for the young folks who are already stressed about finding a decent gig . And the older generation seems more chill about it... like they're expecting some sort of retirement party . We need to support our workers and create new jobs ASAP! It's not just about the economy, it's about people's lives

I'm low-key worried about the state of the UK's job market . This AI thing is seriously taking a toll on the workforce . I mean, productivity gains are all well and good, but at what cost? The numbers don't lie, 8% net job loss rate is no joke . And with rising minimum wages and employer national insurance contributions, it's getting even tougher for businesses to create new jobs .

I'm all for innovation and progress, but we need to make sure that everyone benefits from this tech boom . Younger workers are already feeling the pressure, especially Gen Zers . They're like, "How am I supposed to pay off my student loans with no job prospects?" .

The government and businesses need to step up their game . We need entry-level jobs and training programs to prepare workers for this new reality . Jamie Dimon's warning about civil unrest is legit, we can't just sit back and watch as people lose their livelihoods . Let's get creative and find solutions that work for everyone ! #AIImpact #JobMarketCrisis #FutureOfWork

AI is literally ruining jobs in the UK like there's no other way around it. I mean, productivity gains are cool and all, but who cares if people lose their jobs? It's not like they're just gonna magically get another one that pays more . And don't even get me started on these businesses saying entry-level positions will be the first to go . That's just basic math, fam . We need governments and businesses to step up and create new jobs, not just sit around twiddling their thumbs while people struggle . I'm not surprised London is facing mass unemployment, it's a ticking time bomb .
