Across the world graduates are finding entry level jobs in white collar careers are harder to come by as AI picks up many of the low level administrative & bureaucratic roles new hires used to undertake.

But, of course, this is where they gained experience of the shape of their future employment that would help them develop the further skills they (and their employers) need.

Without young staff gaining experience what will happen when retiring staff need to be replaced?

@ChrisMayLA6 AI is a good excuse for this but the reason is non technical, just good old underinvestment in staff, no company has the capacity for training junior staff because every white collar role is over stretched and under equipped. AI is a landlord special solution, applied like cheap pure brilliant white gloss over every productivity problem

Anecdotally, in my industry, when people say "AI is taking the jobs" they often mean "we have oversized our data and management functions for over a decade now, and the AI bubble gives us an excuse to cut these functions back."

Not always, there are some people (Wes Streeting) who have genuinely bought into the hype, but a lot of it is a way of saving face while admitting that the analytics bubble itself has burst.
