CEOs track new metric in AI workforce shift
Corporate hiring in the US shifts toward technology focused roles.
Executives across the US are increasingly using a metric known as labour cost margin to evaluate workforce needs in the AI era. Business leaders in the US say the measure reflects how companies balance human labour with expanding technology investments.
A KPMG survey of 100 US CEOs shows strong corporate commitment to AI spending. Nearly 80 percent of executives allocate at least five percent of capital budgets to AI projects.
The workforce impact remains uncertain despite growing investment. Many executives expect AI to change job composition rather than eliminate roles.
Companies are hiring new technology-focused roles, including AI strategists and workflow coordinators. Analysts say repetitive office tasks in the US may face the greatest risk from automation.
