Entry-level tech jobs in NYC plummet by nearly 50% — and these other fields are getting battered, too: new study

A new study reveals that entry-level tech job postings in New York City have declined by nearly 50%, with several other professional sectors facing similar contractions. NYC Comptroller Mark Levine attributed the trend to the impact of artificial intelligence, warning that automation may be disrupting traditional career ladders for young workers. The findings highlight growing difficulties for recent graduates attempting to enter a labor market reshaped by emerging technologies.
"AI may be starting to break the bottom rung of the career ladder, making it much harder for young people to enter the workforce," city Comptroller Mark Levine warned in a post on X on Monday.
