    Workforce — each publisher's own reading

    Listed rather than charted: most of these metrics were asked by a single publisher, so a bar would imply a comparison that isn't there. No averages are computed across rows.

    What is deliberately withheld

    Cross-source means, medians, ranges, rankings, consensus labels, and synthesized market claims are not published until every contributing finding has a governed identity for question wording, population, denominator, geography, fieldwork window, and metric definition. The charts above preserve individual source readings only.
    Revision history (1)
    1. Sep 1, 2026
      Re-swept every publisher against first-party sources. Superseded four editions — Google Cloud ROI of AI to the 3rd annual (Jul 2026, n=2,403), SAP Value of AI to 2026 (Jul 2026, n=2,600), US Census BTOS 19.8% → 22.4% (period ending 9 Aug 2026), and Accenture's sustained-value reading 32% → 23%, a decline Accenture states itself. Added five sources: Deloitte's agentic study (Aug 2026), PwC's CEO Snapshot panel (Aug 2026), EY AI Pulse Wave 5 (Jul 2026), Stanford's revised Canaries (Aug 2026) and OECD Skills in the AI Age (Jul 2026). Google Cloud's 2025 agents-in-production reading was retired rather than carried forward because the 2026 edition does not restate it. McKinsey is unchanged: two independent sweeps disagreed on whether a 2026 State of AI exists and neither could reach the page, so nothing was charted from it.
