AI Boosting Productivity but Fueling Job Anxiety Among Canadian Workers

Globenewswire.com and 2 more

AI is accelerating productivity in Canada, with widespread adoption among both workers and firms, while sparking concerns about job stability.
For durable gains, TD Economics emphasizes the need for clean data, interoperable systems, and a workforce trained to use AI within core workflows.
Canada’s productivity gap with the US is linked to weaker intangible capital investment and slower multifactor productivity growth.
Experts warn that rapid diffusion of AI requires coordinated investments in infrastructure, skills, and organizational change to become durable.
Small and mid-sized firms face higher barriers to deep AI integration due to fixed intangible-cost constraints.
TD highlights ‘AI starter packs’ and shared data standards as practical aids for SMEs to accelerate adoption.
Canada’s market fragmentation can impede broad AI diffusion by limiting firm scale, especially in services.
Early productivity gains in the US are mostly driven by investment in data centers and hardware, not immediate organizational changes.
A GlobeNewswire poll shows 63% of Canadian hiring managers use AI, with 53% of job seekers reporting the same at their company.
Despite productivity gains, there is growing unease among job seekers about AI reducing entry-level opportunities and undermining creativity and problem solving.
The TD report argues durable AI gains hinge on governance, verification, and integrated data with clear process handoffs and rapid feedback loops.
