Updated Stanford economist research finds employment for workers aged 22 to 25 in the occupations it classifies as most exposed to AI is 19% below that of peers in less-exposed fields. The source says the comparable gap was 13% in the prior year's analysis. The researchers used a large subsample of anonymized, high-frequency payroll data aggregated by ADP and occupation-exposure measures that include the Anthropic Economic Index.
