Teach me something: AI Agent Economy

The AI Agent Economy refers to the development and deployment of AI systems that can act autonomously on behalf of humans. These agents handle tasks such as scheduling meetings, managing emails, and even completing complex multi-step processes. As businesses integrate these agents, they can expect to see not only increased efficiency but also a shift in workforce dynamics, focusing more on strategic tasks and less on administrative functions.

Remote work holds at a quarter of U.S. workdays, data cited in Kelly review show

Remote work holds at a quarter of U.S. workdays, data cited in Kelly review show

Remote work held near a quarter of U.S. paid workdays in 2026, and monthly telework stayed between 21.5% and 23% for a year. Executives still expect a full return to the office, but Kelly finds mandates raise attendance by less than they call for. The practical response is to plan by measure and by role: full-day counts for office space, part-day counts for meetings, and remote terms set by role family.

  • 01After years of tougher mandates, remote work still sits near a quarter of U.S. paid workdays, which makes it one of the steadiest numbers a workforce planner has.
  • 02Use full-day remote figures to size office space and part-day figures to plan meetings. The 35% of workers who did any work at home on a workday is a different population from the 26% of workdays done remotely.
  • 03FlexJobs found fully remote job postings rose 33% in Q3 2026 vs. Q2, the third straight quarter of growth, but results vary widely by employer and role.

Only 4% of US HR chiefs feel very prepared for AI-driven workforce change

Only 4% of US chief HR officers say they are very prepared for AI-driven workforce change, while PwC found worker access to training fell from 59% to 51%. The gap is in work design. Vistek, Sophos and JLL point to mapping workflows and pairing HR with IT before adding AI licences.

  • 01At Vistek, Reid spent six to 10 years mapping workflows before deciding where automation could add value.
  • 0277% of managers think employees are set up for AI success, but only 24% of individual contributors strongly agree, and Skillsoft says the gap can lead organizations to overestimate readiness.
