Goldman Sachs: US Energy Sector to Face 65,000 Worker Shortfall Each Year

The United States energy sector is confronting a major labor shortage, with hundreds of thousands of additional workers needed by 2030, according to Goldman Sachs. The gap is expected to worsen as growing demand for AI infrastructure places further pressure on an already strained workforce. Goldman Sachs has pointed to humanoid robots and autonomous equipment as possible ways for energy companies to address the shortfall. Separately, Microsoft's AI-related investments are producing significant and varied revenue, with its cloud services and AI products seeing rapid uptake among business clients.
