# Anthropic launches the Economic Index

> Anthropic launched the Economic Index to publish aggregate analyses of how Claude is used across work tasks and occupations. The project used privacy-preserving analysis of usage data and research methods to study observed patterns. It did not predict a single inevitable labor outcome or establish claims about any individual organization.
