AI Drives White-Collar Job Market Shift

A commentary warns that AI-driven automation is beginning to reduce white-collar employment, citing recent layoffs at Baker McKenzie, Salesforce, and KPMG. It notes college-educated workers now account for a record share of the unemployed and that automation-susceptible roles have seen sharp jobless spikes. If sustained, the piece argues structural unemployment could depress demand, widen inequality, and limit traditional policy responses.
