High-risk jobs aren't firing employees... they've STOPPED HIRING. Biggest victims: college graduates (4X more likely). Entry-level hiring has dropped 14% since ChatGPT launched for highest risk jobs.

Analyst rationale

Measured labor-market data, not anecdote. The risk is already showing up as a closed front door for new workers. Codegen and foundation models are the systems; education and finance feel it first.
