Generative AI linked to sharp drop in UK entry-level jobs

The number of entry-level jobs in the UK has plummeted by nearly a third since the widespread availability of generative AI tools. According to a report from the job platform Adzuna, cited by Adam McCulloch in “Personnel Today”, such roles have declined by 32% since November 2022. This includes a significant drop in graduate positions, which fell by 28.4% compared to the previous year. This decline contrasts with the broader UK job market, which shows signs of a cautious recovery. Overall annual vacancies have seen three consecutive months of growth. Advertised salaries have also risen by 9.38% year-on-year, reaching an average of £42,403 in May.
