McKinsey says AI will create more jobs than it replaces in the U.S. by 2035

McKinsey said in a new report that artificial intelligence is set to create more jobs in the United States than it displaces by 2035. The firm said some existing roles will be replaced as AI adoption expands, but the number of newly created positions is expected to exceed those losses. The report also said AI-related technologies will lift U.S. labor productivity by 2035 and drive demand for new skills and new types of work. McKinsey urged companies and policymakers to plan ahead for structural changes in the labor market as the shift unfolds.

Deloitte says enterprise AI agent pilots fail to reach production 89% of the time

Deloitte’s 2026 Tech Trends research says enterprise AI agents are struggling to move beyond pilot programs, with an 89% failure rate from pilot to production. A separate Teradata survey found that 78% of companies have run at least one AI agent pilot, yet only 14% have expanded those deployments across the organization. The research points to six main barriers: scope creep, data access problems, missing evaluation frameworks, unclear ownership, uncontrolled costs, and security approval issues. Other 2026 studies cited in the report show the same pattern. Gartner’s April 2026 survey of 782 infrastructure and operations leaders found that about 120 out of every 1,000 funded AI projects made it into production, and only 34 achieved return-on-investment targets. McKinsey said just 11% of companies had truly scaled AI agent use. Forrester reported rollback rates of 47% for production AI agents without automated evaluation, compared with 9% for agents covered by full evaluation systems. An industry survey also found that 83% of enterprises need infrastructure upgrades to support agentic AI deployments.

Jeff Reynar says AI could be the first tech wave in 40 years to leave time gains with workers

Jeff Reynar, co-founder of this+that, argues that most workplace technologies sold as labor-saving tools have done the opposite in practice. In his view, personal computers, email, and smartphones raised output expectations instead of giving workers back the time those tools saved. He says AI may still follow that same pattern, especially in its early phase, as job boundaries blur and workers absorb tasks that once belonged to someone else. Still, Reynar sees a narrow path for AI to become an exception. Citing McKinsey’s estimate that AI could save knowledge workers about 30% of their daily time by 2030, or roughly 2.5 hours, he argues that companies could use those gains to improve quality, support deeper thinking, and make room for collaboration rather than simply demanding more of the same work. He also points to academic research from MIT and Stanford, Bell Labs office design, Thomas Allen’s “50-meter rule,” and evidence on open-plan offices to argue that creativity and face-to-face interaction are not easily replaced by digital systems.

McKinsey says global household wealth rose by $40 trillion in 2025, with no mention of crypto

McKinsey Global Institute said in its report The Global Balance Sheet 2026 that global household wealth increased by $40 trillion in 2025 to reach $570 trillion, a 7.3% annual gain. The report did not mention cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, or digital assets. It said only 20% of the increase came from real capital formation, while 58% to 60% was driven by asset price inflation, with stock markets in the United States and Canada serving as the main engine. Techub, citing CryptoBriefing, noted that crypto was still left outside McKinsey’s analytical framework even though the global balance sheet stood at $1.8 quadrillion.

Stablecoin B2B Payments Hit $30B Monthly, Up 60x in Two Years

A joint Artemis-McKinsey report cited by BVNK shows monthly stablecoin settlements surged from $5 billion to over $30 billion since early 2024, with B2B payments dominating. Near-instant settlement and lower costs drive corporate adoption, while new use cases like tokenized assets and GPU financing emerge.

BCG, McKinsey, and BlackRock See Tokenization Moving Toward a Trillion-Dollar Market

Reports from BCG, McKinsey, and BlackRock point to the same trend: tokenization of real-world assets is gaining speed. BCG sees a $16.1 trillion opportunity by 2030, McKinsey expects tokenized financial assets to approach $2 trillion, and Ethereum now hosts 61.4% of tokenized assets.
