AI isn't killing entry-level jobs. Experienced workers are taking them

SMRTR summary

Recent graduates aren't losing jobs to AI — they're losing them to more experienced workers who have slid down into entry-level roles after losing their own. While the overall job market shrank equally across experience levels, employers raised experience requirements for mid-tier tech jobs, pushing senior workers further down the ladder. This creates a compounding problem: 52% of graduates start underemployed, and 73% remain that way a decade later.
