SUMMARY: Hiring of recent college graduates at major tech firms like Meta, Microsoft, and Google dropped 25% last year, partly due to AI’s growing role in automating entry-level tasks. Companies are shrinking teams to be more efficient amid economic fluctuations, contributing to a 5.8% unemployment rate for new grads—the highest since 2012 outside the pandemic. Formerly lucrative sign-on bonuses have vanished as job opportunities dwindle. Ford CEO Jim Farley predicts AI could replace half of all white-collar jobs. Experts advise embracing AI skills and pursuing careers in expanding sectors like healthcare, private education, and trades.
