What does this mean for workers? YouGov's move touches 2 jobs, which together employ about 156,000 people in the U.S. Across them, AI and robots already touch between 3h 4m (interviewers) and 3h 19m (survey researchers) 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.
Rolling out means it is in use and spreading to more locations or teams.
