Hawley, Warner to Introduce Bipartisan Legislation Revealing Number of Jobs Lost to AI

Wednesday, November 05, 2025

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senators Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) announced they will introduce the AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act. This legislation would require major companies and federal agencies to report AI related layoffs to the Department of Labor to be compiled into a publicly available report.

"Artificial intelligence is already replacing American workers, and experts project AI could drive unemployment up to 10-20% in the next five years," said Senator Hawley. "The American people need to have an accurate understanding of how AI is affecting our workforce, so we can ensure that AI works for the people, not the other way around."

"Good policy starts with good data. This bipartisan legislation will finally give us a clear picture of AI's impact on the workforce - what jobs are being eliminated, which workers are being retrained, and where new opportunities are emerging. Armed with this information, we can make sure AI drives opportunity instead of leaving workers behind, " said Senator Warner.

The AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act would:

• Require major companies and federal agencies to quarterly report AI-related job effects -including layoffs and job displacement - to the Department of Labor (DOL).
• Require the DOL to compile data on AI-related job effects and publish a report to Congress and the public.
