How AI Is Robbing New Grads of Entry-Level Jobs

In 2025, recent college graduates face one of the toughest job markets in years, with unemployment at 5.8%, well above the national average. Artificial intelligence is transforming industries—from law to tech—displacing tasks traditionally handled by entry-level workers, such as document review, coding, and customer service.

This “breaking of the first rung” reduces opportunities for experience, mentorship, and career growth, with long-term impacts on lifetime earnings and mobility. Employers increasingly demand AI skills, reshaping career paths and requiring adaptability.

Graduates must navigate a market defined by automation and macroeconomic uncertainty, where traditional entry-level roles are rapidly disappearing.
