How has the increased adoption of AI impacted the job market, and what industries are most affected by this technological shift?

This widespread unemployment reflects a confluence of factors: reduced employer demand (vacancies at their lowest since August 2020), increased employer costs since October 2024, and the displacement of some roles by AI. The situation disproportionately affects those in design, entertainment, marketing, HR, and IT sectors, as well as recent graduates.
