Cross-country data: only US sees junior dips beyond tech in AI-exposed jobs
jburnmurdoch · x · 2026-11-01
In a follow-up chart, FT's John Burn-Murdoch shows junior (18-24) tech employment contracting relative to senior across most countries — but only the US also shows a dip in junior employment in non-tech AI-exposed occupations. He reads this as a story of US firms responding differently to the same shocks rather than a universal AI displacement effect.
