11:40 ET -- ManpowerGroup says that more and more employers are looking toward a future where AI plays a greater role, and are hiring accordingly. Executives in an earnings call say "as AI accelerates, we expect to see a greater focus on skills development as organizations seek to guide their workforce through a period of transition and prepare them to work alongside AI." The precariousness of transformation, as well as the uncertainty of the economic environment, has made employers more cautious. "We expect employers to continue to cautiously look at hiring select talent, particularly those with in-demand skills that enable their businesses to transform," the executives say.
