Summary

Acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling told Axios that the department has signed data-sharing agreements with companies including OpenAI, Google, Meta and Amazon to understand AI adoption and its effect on hiring. The private-sector information is intended to supplement Bureau of Labor Statistics data, with the department saying findings will be made public.

Why it matters

Governments need better labour-market measurement as AI adoption may move faster than conventional surveys, although the methodology and disclosed partnership terms remain limited.
