While AI is often cited as one of the reasons for mass layoffs, particularly in the tech sector, for fast-growing companies it also seems to be creating new jobs in many companies, according to a study published Tuesday from financial services company Ramp and employment database Revelio Labs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur early result is that it looks like firms are starting to look for more entry-level hires, likely people who are more AI native,\u201d said Ara Kharazian, the lead economist at Ramp, a financial services company that found a rise in early-career hiring by companies in the period they started spending heavily on AI.<\/p>\n

The study tracked AI spending and the workforce records of nearly 22,000 U.S. companies between January 2021 and February 2026.<\/p>\n

It found that firms that spent more on AI ended up increasing their workforce headcount by an average of 10% over the two years after rolling out the technology. Companies that made the largest AI investment expanded entry-level job hiring by 12%. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are a job seeker, or you are graduating from college, and you\u2019re choosing between two different firms that are otherwise similar, I would choose the one that\u2019s using AI,\u201d Kharazian said. \u201cOur paper shows that that firm is going to grow faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

The early and intense AI adopters spent more than $100 per month per employee on AI and had their employees using advanced AI, such as coding subscriptions, as opposed to simple ChatGPT subscriptions. <\/p>\n

The low-intensity, casual AI adopters didn\u2019t see any hiring gains and reduced headcount.<\/p>\n

The Ramp study showed a positive effect on employment from AI because it focused on firms adopting AI, many of them fast-growing, venture-backed companies hiring AI-native junior employees. <\/p>\n

It reached a different conclusion than a November 2025 Stanford University study, which examined payroll data across the entire labor market and found that employment among young software developers had declined by nearly 20% from its late-2022 peak.<\/p>\n
