What does this mean for workers? Wix's move touches 2 jobs, which together employ about 1.8 million people in the U.S. Across them, AI and robots already touch between 3h 20m (software developers) and 4h 59m (web developers) of a typical 8-hour shift. A single company's move is an early signal for these jobs, and the time cards show how far the change has spread nationally.
Announced means the company said it would do this; nothing is running yet.
