The Geography of AI Demand in the Southeast: Patterns of Growth and Labor Market Structure

Sergio Galeano

No 2026-4, Workforce Currents from Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have moved from niche to a broadly discussed force in the labor market, with a growing body of research exploring how AI may shape skill demand and broader labor market outcomes. Much of the current research suggests that the effects of AI are unlikely to be evenly distributed across occupations and education levels, and that differences in regional and local labor market composition may shape how these changes unfold.2 At the same time, there remains considerable uncertainty about how these effects will materialize in practice. Some analyses focus on how AI affects occupations or workers, while others examine firm adoption or emerging skill demand.
