Statistics Canada authors Tahsin Mehdi and Marc Frenette recently published an analysis on the impact of generative AI on the workforce. They note that while it is difficult to isolate the impact of generative AI from other labour market trends, overall employment grew between November 2022 and December 2025, regardless of occupational exposure to and relationship with AI. However, employment growth was generally weaker for those with less education (i.e. a high school diploma, incomplete PSE, or a credential below a bachelor’s degree, compared to those with a bachelor’s degree or higher) and for younger employees (15- to 29-year-olds, compared to 30- to 49-year-olds).
