Anthropic surveyed 81k Claude users about their economic sentiment, and users who are more “accelerated” are more worried about job prospects.

ME News message, April 23 (UTC+8), according to Beating monitoring, Anthropic released a survey analysis based on 81,000 Claude users, comparing users' economic feelings with the previously released Economic Index usage data. The survey found that the higher the proportion of tasks actually performed by Claude in a job, the stronger the workers' concerns about AI replacing their own jobs. The proportion of positions in the top 25% of AI exposure expressing concern is three times that of the bottom 25%. Concerns among early-career respondents are also significantly higher than those of senior practitioners. The average productivity score reported by respondents was 5.1 (out of 7, corresponding to "significantly improved"), with the most common form of benefit being expansion of capability range (48% mentioned), followed by speed increase (40%). Both the highest- and lowest-income positions reported the greatest productivity gains, with many in low-income jobs using AI for side hustles unrelated to their main work, such as delivery drivers using Claude to run e-commerce businesses and gardeners using it to develop music apps. The survey also found a contradiction: users who reported the greatest acceleration from AI are also the group with the highest concerns about job threats. Anthropic believes this has economic logic—if the time to complete tasks is significantly shortened, the future survival of jobs indeed faces more uncertainty. Additionally, only 60% of early-career workers believe that the benefits of AI flow to them, compared to 80% for senior practitioners. Anthropic pointed out that the survey sample consists of users who actively use personal Claude accounts and are willing to respond to the questionnaire, who may be more inclined to report positive effects, so the conclusions require subsequent structured survey verification.
