The Rockefeller Foundation is investing $100 million to help U.S. workers adapt to AI-driven changes to the labor market. The three-year commitment aims to create 1.6 million additional "good jobs" nationally across 250 locations. The initiative, dubbed "Big Bet on Good Jobs for America," will target communities where people are at risk of falling out of work due to AI or significant job loss.

It will target locations based on underlying conditions such as labor market gaps and employer demand.
