GoKawiilNYC entry-level tech job postings down 49% since 2022, report finds
A Center for an Urban Future analysis of New York City hiring data found postings for entry-level 'computer and mathematical' roles have fallen 49 percent since 2022. The nonprofit's director, Jon Bowles, says the traditional first rung of the tech career ladder is under intense pressure, with similar declines showing up in administrative, financial, media and education entry-level postings.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This data offers concrete evidence that AI adoption, combined with post-pandemic overhiring corrections, is reshaping the earliest stage of career entry rather than eliminating jobs broadly across the economy. If the pattern seen in tech spreads to other white-collar fields, it could deepen a broader US labor slowdown that already has nearly a quarter of the workforce functionally unemployed.
- Entry-level tech job postings in NYC dropped 49% since 2022, per Center for an Urban Future.
- Declines also hit administrative, financial, media and education entry-level roles.
- Analysts cite both AI adoption and correction from COVID-era tech overhiring as causes.
