Companies spending the most on AI are growing jobs, Ramp study finds

Summary
- Ramp analyzed more than 21,500 U.S. companies and found firms with the highest AI spending grew employment by roughly 10% and entry-level hiring by 12%, while low-intensity AI adopters saw no significant employment gains.
- The researchers caution the findings show correlation, not causation, noting AI adopters were already larger, faster-growing and more technical firms, but argue the results suggest AI investment is currently complementing workforce growth rather than replacing workers.
