AI Labour Impact Observatory
AI's impact on employment
A living dashboard tracking the impact of artificial intelligence on employment, combining global sources, market signals and our own interpretation.
This observatory does not measure jobs created or destroyed alone. It measures the pressure of labour transformation and the capacity to absorb it.

Spain in the observatory
The Spanish labour market against AI
Spain is converging with the EU baseline on enterprise AI adoption, but Funcas' central scenario for 2025-2035 paints a net-negative labour market. Three headlines plus an EU comparison.
Net employment · 2025-2035 (central scenario)
−400 K
Jobs destroyed between −1.7M and −2.3M; jobs created +1.61M. The net is negative but creation covers two thirds of destruction.
Funcas · 2025
Spanish firms (≥10 employees) using AI
21.1 %
Q1 2025 vs 12.4 % in 2023. Enterprise adoption nearly doubles in two years, focused on services and advanced manufacturing.
Funcas · Q1 2025
Female employment ES in high-exposure occupations
9.6 %
Versus 3.5 % for male employment. Occupational exposure is gender-asymmetric — administrative and care occupations are over-represented.
ILO–NASK · 2025
Spain vs European Union — adoption and exposure
| Spain | EU-27 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Firms ≥10 employees using AI (2025) | 21.1 % | ~20 % | Funcas + Eurostat |
| Adoption growth 2023 → 2025 | +8.7 pp (12.4 % → 21.1 %) | +7 pp (≈13 % → 20 %) | Funcas + Eurostat |
| Employment exposed to generative AI | ~60 % (advanced economy) | ~60 % (advanced economy) | IMF · Gen-AI Staff Note |
| Gender asymmetry in high exposure (F vs M) | 9.6 % vs 3.5 % | 9.6 % vs 3.5 % (aggregate) | ILO–NASK · 2025 |
Editorial reading: Spain is not an outlier in exposure or adoption — it converges with the EU. But Funcas' central scenario carries the editorial weight: even though job destruction (−1.7M to −2.3M) is almost offset by new creation (+1.61M), the negative net and the gender asymmetry justify a cautious bias for Spain on M (labour-market signal · 42) and B (adaptation gap · 52). Aggregate opportunity (62) still outweighs aggregate risk (47), but the margin is narrow.
All figures are projections or official statistics with declared methodologies. Funcas publishes its central scenario alongside a low and a high range; we surface the central. Cross-check with Randstad Research ES for a complementary employer-employee reading.
Reading guide
How to read this dashboard
What it is for
To recognise the pressure of labour transformation by sector, occupation and profile — and the capacity to absorb it. A curated editorial reading, not a prediction.
What it is NOT for
It does not predict job destruction. It is not an official statistical index. It does not replace Tier 1–3 sources; it weights them with explicit editorial weights.
How to use it while reading the book
Come back here whenever a chapter cites a specific vector (exposure, adoption, gap) to situate it in the wider picture and compare the rhythm across sectors.
How it will evolve
Future iterations will add real per-source signals, a declared editorial cadence, and an automated watcher for Tier 1–3. IILE-IA calibration will remain editorial.
