Share of new hires by occupational AI use, EU27, 2011–2025 (% of the age band’s hires)

Notes: ‘Hires’ refer to people who have been in their job for 12 months or less. The dashed vertical lines indicate the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. Occupations are ranked by the share of workers reporting that they had used an AI-powered tool in their main job in the previous 12 months, as measured in the AIM-WORK survey. They are divided into three groups of roughly equal employment size, using employment before 2022, so each group contains about a third of all employees rather than a third of all occupations. Low, medium and high AI use refer to the proportion of workers in that occupation who use AI. AI use ranges from 1.3% to 17.2% of workers across the occupations in the low-use group, from 17.4% to 36.7% in the medium-use group, and from 36.9% to 58.8% in the high-use group.
