While some graduates are facing tough times in the job market due to AI, others are finding opportunities. AI is not all 'doom and gloom' for graduates, say businesses. Many young people fear that AI creates extra barriers for applicants, but analysts say its impact remains an 'evolving picture'. While some sectors have seen a 38% fall in job postings due to AI, others are booming. McKinsey reports that sectors most exposed to AI and large language models (LLMs) have seen a 38% fall in job postings, but demand is growing for people with AI skills and strong people management abilities. Some start-ups are trying to seize this opportunity by developing standards to measure whether people are 'AI ready'. For graduates, the experience can be bruising but also transformative. While job hunting has been tough for some, others are finding opportunities and building resilience. AI is not all 'doom and gloom' for graduates, say businesses, but it's important to stay informed and adapt to the changing job market.
