The professional service industry is facing an impact from artificial intelligence, and a new round of adjustments in the employment market is brewing.

Latest market reactions show that investors’ attention to ADP employment data has decreased, but the bond market has shown sporadic buying signals. This reflects the market’s complex expectations for economic prospects. Analyst Adam Button pointed out that the wave of artificial intelligence will primarily threaten employment positions in professional and business services, which has become a market consensus.

Employment Market Shows Structural Divergence

Data from the past 12 months paint an interesting picture of employment. Government healthcare positions have performed relatively steadily, while the private sector faces obvious employment pressures. This divergence not only reflects the uneven economic recovery post-pandemic but also indicates that different industries are facing distinct structural challenges.

Key Data Release Imminent

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the next non-farm employment report at 21:30 East 8th Time. Notably, as the impact of the U.S. government shutdown gradually diminishes, economic data releases have returned to normal rhythm. However, concerns about a possible government shutdown again have begun to surface, adding uncertainty to data interpretation.

Every piece of employment data will be an important basis for investors to judge economic prospects, and the long-term threat of artificial intelligence to professional services is worth close attention.
