Artificial Intelligence (AI) has eliminated 77,999 jobs in 2025 across 342 tech companies. Turns out, your College Degree(s) just became toilet paper.
37% of companies using AI say the technology replaced workers in 2023 because "they were no longer needed."
In 2024, 44% using or planning to use AI said employees will "definitely" or "probably" be laid off.
But here's what makes this different from every other tech revolution: major tech firms reduced new graduate hiring by 25% in 2024 compared to 2023.
These aren't positions getting automated - these are jobs that no longer exist.
The con everyone's selling: "AI will create new jobs!"
Sure. While 85 million jobs are projected to be displaced by 2025, 97 million new roles may emerge. Sounds great until you read the fine print:
77% of new AI-related jobs require master's degrees, and 18% require doctoral degrees. Your four-year degree? Worthless. The new entry point is a PhD most people can't afford.
