Tens of thousands of white-collar jobs are disappearing due to AI

SUMMARY

Major employers are significantly cutting white-collar jobs. Amazon plans to eliminate 14,000 corporate positions, while UPS and Target report similar job losses. Many workers face a challenging job market, with layoffs affecting tens of thousands.

The rise of artificial intelligence is a key factor driving these reductions, as companies seek efficiency. Roles traditionally seen as stable, like HR managers and engineers, are now vulnerable.

Job seekers, especially older workers, struggle to keep pace with new technology demands, leading to increased competition for fewer openings.

As a result, younger graduates also find it hard to secure their first jobs. Companies are becoming choosier, leaving many skilled workers anxious about their futures.
