- A study by Stanford researchers found a 13% decline in employment for early-career workers, ages 22 to 25, in AI-exposed jobs like software engineering and customer service after late 2022.
- By July 2025, employment for 22- to 25-year-old developers dropped by nearly 20% from late 2022, while older workers saw job growth in similar roles.
