McKinsey Study: 76% of Employees Use AI for Work Assistance, Generative AI Reduces Demand for Entry-Level Positions

According to a research report from Odaily Planet Daily on July 7, McKinsey research shows that in 2023, only 30% of employees used AI for work assistance, but by 2025, this proportion has risen to 76%. The "McKinsey 2025 New Era of Work Survey" indicates that 51% of organizations reported that generative AI has reduced their demand for entry-level positions. Between 2023 and 2025, the turnover intention of employees with less than one year of tenure dropped from 37% to 32%, approaching the 30% level of employees with more than three years of tenure. The survey shows that AI creators and heavy AI users have the highest sense of belonging to their positions, but their likelihood of leaving within the next 3 to 6 months is 7% higher than that of light AI users and 10% higher than that of employees who do not use AI. The research indicates that the main reasons for employee retention include having valuable work, flexible work locations, opportunities for career development and promotion, having trusted colleagues and support, and receiving decent compensation and sufficient recognition.
