Public prefers jobs over basic income

Recent polling (Blue Rose Research) shows a majority of Americans (54%) favor addressing AI‑driven unemployment by 'creating good‑paying jobs' while only 17% favor direct income support; nearly half support a special tax on AI profiteers to pay for transitions. This suggests public appetite for traditional labor‑market and redistributional policies rather than novel universal‑income style remedies. — If durable, this preference will shape which AI mitigation policies are politically viable — prioritizing job‑creation, retraining, and targeted taxation over universal basic income.
