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

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