Goldman Sachs also found that industries with greater AI adoption had weaker employment growth, though the data does not prove AI caused job losses. U.S. Economy: GDP grew at a 3.4% annualized pace in the third quarter, but housing and food consumed nearly half of household spending in 2025, underscoring affordability pressures. Europe: Eurozone growth reached 0.4% in Q3, but France contracted 0.1%, Italy stagnated and Germany grew 0.2%; high energy costs cloud the outlook. Canada: GDP was flat for a second straight month in August, missing forecasts.
