AI trends show experienced workers gaining advantage over recent graduates
What happened
Analysis using data from Stanford University shows that employment for Americans aged 30 or younger has decreased in office jobs like software development, sales, and accounting since ChatGPT debuted in late 2022. Conversely, employment for people aged 35 and older in those same occupations has climbed by more than 7%. Employers are increasingly prioritizing candidates with six or more years of experience in tech, business, and legal fields.

Why it matters
The trends suggest that artificial intelligence may be enhancing the value of existing skills, turning experience into a competitive advantage. This shift indicates a changing labor demand, where employers are explicitly seeking more seasoned workers in highly exposed industries.
