AI research firm Anthropic has recorded a 33% drop in junior-level employees since early 2025, according to the company. The development aligns with recent forecasts by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who predicted that up to 50% of entry-level white-collar roles could disappear by 2030 due to generative AI advancements. The reduction highlights how frontier AI developers are increasingly deploying their own autonomous tools to handle junior coding and operational workloads. This shift signals emerging labor market disruptions as enterprises replace entry-level technical roles with AI-driven workflows.
