  "account": "Düsseldorf - Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a struggling economy are not only leading to fewer hires, but also to job losses. Workers in positions other than clerical are no longer the only ones affected. Even executives are not immune to AI's reach. According to the Federal Agency for Labor, there were 14.3% more unemployed executives in 2025 than the previous year. This is because AI can already handle parts of executive duties, such as resource planning, calculations, and cost control. The \"Job-Futuromat\" of the Institute for Labor Market and Career Research (IAB) calculated that 67% of an executive's job profile can be replaced by algorithms. The middle management is particularly vulnerable. \"We need to prove ourselves even more today,\" says headhunter Bernhard Stieger, who presented exclusive questions to Handelsblatt.
