40

Feb 1, 2026 · 305 in WARN notices (Jersey City notices (bank-wide total not disclosed))

AI score 40/100 (Mid) · 80% interval 35–47 · evidence grade B · NJ · Banking

Stated reason: A JPMorgan spokesperson described the Jersey City cuts as routine: the bank reviews business needs and reduces positions where appropriate while creating roles elsewhere. Separately, CEO Jamie Dimon told investors in February: "we have displaced people from AI — and we offer them other jobs."

Why 40: Executives link AI to efficiency/productivity, but not as the stated cause; also: Performance / shifting priorities · Drivers: AI attribution +2.2, industry AI exposure +0.6

Evidence: state WARN notice, major-outlet report. Signals: attribution 0.45, primary source 0.0, exec statement 1.0, role exposure 0.859, industry exposure 0.976, AI investment 0.0, contrary evidence 0.0 · typical Finance & Insurance roles (no roles named)

Note: Dimon's remark was bank-wide, not about these notices. JPMorgan's operations staff fell 4% in 2025 as technology raised accounts handled per employee (CNBC).

Headcount basis: WARN (sum of state notices; company-wide total not disclosed) · WARN: 305 workers at 3 site notice(s)
