The implication is clear, and worrisome: employers are increasingly turning to AI systems to do the entry-level work that their junior workers once did. For the moment, that seems to be creating jobs for more senior workers. But what will happen should AI systems be able to do those tasks, too?
Among workers 22 to 25 in jobs considered highly exposed to AI, employment is now shrinking by 3.8% a year. The overall effects remain small: AI-exposed jobs shrank 0.2% year over year, while the least-exposed jobs grew 0.1%. But Americans can be forgiven for extrapolating these trends out a few years and worrying about what it means for them.
