Kelsey Barberio: If you’re one of those who are worried about artificial intelligence taking your job - don’t be. At least that’s what the CEO of job-search platform Indeed is saying.
Company CEO Chris Hyams, speaking with CNBC’s Make It, says that about two-thirds of the jobs listed on Indeed require skills that AI could perform. And with more than 300 million job seekers heading to the platform each month — that could lead to a lot of trepidation.

But as of February 2025, Hyams says there was no job posting on Indeed that AI could perform entirely on its own. And more than that — the CEO claims AI will never be able to fully do some required tasks, saying “AI can do math very well. It can’t draw an IV very well. You can’t have zero customer service reps or replace them with AI.”
The U.S. added 151,000 jobs in February, about 20,000 less than what was expected. The March jobs report will be released on Friday, April 4.
