Using payroll data from millions of U.S. workers, researchers found a 13% employment decline among early-career workers (ages 22–25) in the most AI-exposed fields like software development and customer service, while older workers in the same roles have held steady or grown. The findings suggest that AI’s impact so far is concentrated in entry-level positions, with automation driving losses more than augmentation.
