Stanford data: employment for 22-25 year-olds in AI-exposed jobs fell ~13%

Drawing on Stanford research, the author notes that since late 2022, employment for 22-25 year-olds in the most AI-exposed occupations fell 13% relative to less-exposed ones. Young software developers alone are down nearly 20% from the 2022 peak.
The entry-level rung of the career ladder is the first to go — this is the jobs-side evidence for the author's broader argument about AI squeezing junior workers, complementing the NBER skills experiment in later posts.
