Workforce-intelligence company producing labour-market data from public employment records and job postings. Its finding that US middle-manager job openings were down 42% against their 2022 peak is a frequently cited data point in arguments that AI is compressing organisational hierarchy rather than displacing frontline work.

Relevance to AI policy

Revelio's data appears in the AI-labour debate as one of the few sources with visibility into occupational composition at higher frequency than official statistics. Its most-cited figure in this context is that US middle-manager job openings were down 42% against their 2022 peak, reported via Business Insider in December 2025, against a baseline in which managers made up 13% of the US workforce in 2022 (Intelligence Replaces Hierarchy).

The figure is load-bearing for the argument that AI's organisational effect runs through coordination roles rather than through task automation at the front line — the thesis Intelligence Replaces Hierarchy tracks. Two cautions attach to it in that use: postings data measures hiring intent rather than employment levels, and a decline measured against a 2022 peak captures the post-pandemic hiring correction as well as any AI effect.
