2025: Gen Z (ages 18–26) Job Alert – AI Could Eliminate Up to 50% of Entry-Level Roles, Experts Warn

About 22% of Gen Z workers say they are “very concerned” about losing jobs to AI, double the rate of older generations. AI now handles over half of routine junior tasks, and many Gen Z workers are pivoting to trades or healthcare. Business leaders urge firms to redesign entry-level roles and focus on reskilling.
