Historical Context

The Affordable Care Act, enacted in 2013, expanded health coverage to 20 million Americans, reshaping employment dynamics in the U.S. Similarly, the rise of AI technologies is projected to impact job markets, with a 2024 study indicating a 13% decline in employment among early-career workers in AI-exposed roles. As AI spending is expected to reach $320 billion by 2025, its long-term effects on employment may parallel those seen in healthcare.
