Definitely seeing this at my marketing agency. We are replacing producers, video editors and copywriters with AI and have basically stopped entry-level hiring.
Now just a building full of 30 somethings and their older managers.
It’s not entry. You need 8 yeard experience and a doctorate to apply.
I entered the workforce in the pandemic. There are definitely not fewer entry-level jobs than back then…
“Entry-level” has to be one of the most abused terms out there.
Makes sense, we dont hire any juniors, outsource everything instead.
“We aren’t hiring or training the young”
“Why aren’t the young having kids?”
I’m sick fed up of entry-level jobs that state you need 2-5 years experience. Do they not know what entry-level means?
Turns out if you make hiring more expensive, companies are less likely to hire and more likely to lean on tech investments for productivity gains. Rachel from accounts strikes again!
Private industry of this country has spent the past forever lobbying to turn the entire education sector into a glorified jobs training programme, and now that they’ve completely neutered education as anything that could be fun, enlightening, or worth it for its own sake, they’re not even accepting candidates who’ve been wrung through the system they pushed so hard to destroy.
This does surprise, companies have spent last 2 years developing tools to automate low level jobs. Heck even mid level jobs are now getting partially automated. We are literally building models to develop project plans from requirement documents and create tasks based on it. That’s a 3w 2/3 mid tier employees work, all it will now need is someone to verify it and it’s all done.
As a programmer, using models the programming cycles have dropped by 2/3, cause we no more have to write all the surrounding garbage program just the core business logic, rest the model creates for us.
It’s going to be a tough road ahead
Layoffs at my friend’s company as they look to outsource their work
