The US information sector shed roughly 23,000 jobs in August, offering another potential signal of how AI is reshaping the labor market. Northeastern University Professor Alicia Modestino discusses why tech may be the “canary in the coal mine,” with her research showing a decline in junior versus senior software developer vacancies since ChatGPT’s release. She also discusses why employers are demanding more experience, judgment and human-centric skills from entry-level workers. She joins Bloomberg’s Lisa Mateo on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Life sucks — you pay $400,000 for your kids to get a good college degree and then they can’t get a job. The parents burned their retirement dollars to put the kid through college.
