Entry-level jobs for young workers in AI-exposed occupations
- New starters and AI
- Entry-level jobs
- Graduate hiring
In the US, employment of 22 to 25-year-olds in AI-exposed occupations is 19 per cent lower than if it had kept pace with peers in other occupations, mainly because employers hire fewer new starters. The entry-level jobs that remain call for skills that used to belong to senior staff.
