This weekly update shows that AI agents are changing jobs in big ways for workers across the United States. Young workers are getting hit the hardest by these changes.

Recent college graduates are having a really tough time finding jobs. About 59% of new graduates say it's "very challenging" to find full-time entry-level work in 2025. Only 9% are finding jobs easily. Most graduates blame two main problems: not having enough experience (25%) and too much competition (24%).

But here's the scary part - 79% of recent graduates think AI is making fewer entry-level jobs available in their fields. Research from Stanford University backs this up. They looked at millions of workers and found that young workers aged 22-25 in jobs that AI can do saw their employment drop by 13%.

The job market is getting tougher overall. U.S. unemployment went up to 4.3% in August. Workers are really worried about AI taking their jobs. A new survey shows that 89% of workers are scared about how AI will affect their job security. Even worse, 43% of workers say they know someone who already lost their job because of AI.

Big tech companies are making major cuts. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are laying off thousands of workers. Many of these layoffs are happening because companies are using AI instead of people to do certain jobs.

The changes are especially hard on young people. At large tech companies, the number of Gen Z workers has been cut in half. This is because AI agents can now do many of the entry-level jobs that young people used to get when they started their careers.

Workers are trying to adapt by being more flexible. Many are willing to take jobs outside their field, accept lower pay, or work in different places just to find employment.
