With the advance of AI, entry-level jobs are most at threat while senior positions are for now relatively unaffected. Another hit for those coming out of college or in their 20's.
My Google AI says: "The increase in the U-6 unemployment rate to 8.1% is not solely due to a direct shift from permanent to short-term jobs, but the rise in involuntary part-time work and other forms of underemployment is a significant factor. While many complex factors affect the U-6 rate, recent reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicate that involuntary part-time employment has been trending upward." Part-time labor, now 17.4%, has been trending slowly upward since "involuntary part-time labor" was first tracked in 1968 at 13.5%. In August 2025, the number of full-time workers decreased by approximately 438,000, while the number of part-time workers increased by about 527,000.
This is rather troubling. The limited growth includes lower mobility lower outcomes. I hope things dont get worse. Desperate conditions leads to Desperate actions. It is surprising to even see a slow down in Healthcare where there has and will be a chronic shortage for decades

It has been rough for the young professionals!
