AI will create more jobs than it kills, McKinsey says. The catch: 11 million Americans may need new careers

McKinsey Global Institute says AI and automation will eliminate about 36 million U.S. jobs by 2035 while creating about 41 million elsewhere, leaving workers needing to relocate careers. In the base case, about 11 million workers (roughly 7% of the workforce) would need to leave their current occupations entirely. The report implies more retraining and credentialing pressures, with many displaced workers facing limited or “unpaved” paths into the growing jobs that are often non-remote.
