Employers foresee up to 64% drop in entry-level hiring amid AI shift: Survey

AI is rapidly reshaping the workforce, with employers forecasting a 22% to 64% reduction in entry- and mid-level hiring, according to a new report by Generation. While this shift presents new opportunities, it also brings unique challenges, particularly for mid-career and older workers.
💡 AI Upskilling: Many workers aged 45+ are embracing AI, self-teaching these skills, and seeing boosts in productivity and decision-making.
🚫 Age Bias: Despite their success, older workers face hiring bias-90% of employers prefer candidates under 35 for AI roles.
🎓 Training Gaps: Though 47% of companies offer AI tools, only half provide formal training, leaving older employees under-supported.
🤝 Breaking Ageism: To unlock AI's true potential, companies must merge human expertise with AI, especially from seasoned professionals who excel at interpreting AI outputs.
The future of work lies in overcoming ageism and embracing intergenerational collaboration to maximize AI’s impact! 💪
