What To Do Next
Trade broker has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.
What helps
- A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.
What could slow it down
- Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
- Employer-side pressure is still elevated in nearby functions.
