Anthropic report: worker retraining programs would likely fall short

Meta-analysis of 56 randomized US studies finds job training raises employment by 2–3 percentage points and earnings by ~$1,000 per year, against a ~$13,000 cost per slot. Authors conclude existing programs would likely fall short if AI displaces workers at scale; high-performing 'sector programs' show several-times-larger gains, but replication attempts often failed.
