Jobpocalypse
Jobpocalypse is a neologism coined in 2025 by the Financial Times describing the widespread technological unemployment expected to caused by advances in AI use in the workplace.[1][2][3]
According to the Financial Times, entry-level job offers in the U.S. and U.K. have dropped by 33%. Unemployment among university graduates hit a record high, reaching higher than the general unemployment rate for the first time.[2] In the US, the unemployment rate for college graduates was about 5.8% in 2025, a jump of about 30% since 2022.[4] In a survey of more than 850 business leaders across the UK, US, France, Germany, Australia, China and Japan, 41% of bosses reported that AI was allowing them to cut staffing at their firms.[5]
In Australia 49% of larger firms and 37% of Small and Medium Enterprises have cut roles as a result of AI.[6]
Controversy
The American Enterprise Institute argued that the jobpocalypse did not exist.[7]
