Recent data reveal a troubling downturn in entry-level employment, particularly for roles vulnerable to AI automation like software development and customer service. Studies from Stanford and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis indicate that early-career workers, especially recent college graduates, are disproportionately affected by AI-driven job losses. In response, OpenAI is launching an AI-powered jobs platform and free AI certification programs to help American workers build skills and match with AI-focused employers. However, labor market uncertainties persist, fueled by tariff policies and economic shifts that complicate hiring trends.
