Goldman: entry-level and junior white-collar workers most exposed to AI displacement
A Goldman Sachs analysis finds that entry-level, junior white-collar workers are the most vulnerable to AI-driven displacement. Several outlets reported the findings on 19 August 2026.
Who is affected and how
- early-career professional
- Applications for junior roles should be backed by distinctive professional evidence, such as projects or a portfolio, that complements AI.
- job seeker
- Competition for entry-level office jobs is likely to be stronger, so it is worth widening the search to a broader range of roles.
- HR professional
- Junior hiring plans and onboarding programmes should be reviewed before entry-level positions are eliminated.
- manager
- If junior roles disappear, a decision is also needed on the future supply of senior staff.
