KEY POINTS

  • •J. Scott Davis from the Dallas Fed revealed in early 2026 that AI industries saw 8.5% wage growth since late 2022.
  • •Employment in AI-exposed sectors dropped about 1%, especially among workers under 25 facing tougher markets.
  • •Top AI execs like Anthropic’s CEO warned that half of entry-level office jobs might vanish by next year.

The Dallas Fed's J. Scott Davis dropped a paper revealing that since ChatGPT's late 2022 debut, older workers are cashing in big while under-25 job seekers are left ghosting on entry-level applications. The study tracked AI's creepy infiltration into industries and found wages rose 8.5% in AI-heavy sectors versus 7.5% nationwide, but employment in those same AI zones dipped 1%. Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, casually predicts half the entry-level office jobs might vanish—basically telling kids to 'try becoming a TikTok influencer instead.' Meanwhile, Boris Cherny claims 'software engineer' will be an extinct job title by next year. Welcome to AI’s adult playground: bring experience or bring snacks.
