This chart shows how junior-level hiring is down at Anthropic due to AI

What happened: Anthropic said it has been hiring a smaller share of junior technical positions as AI agents spread across the firm to write code, fix bugs, and handle other tasks, per a newly released internal report. Key numbers: Junior hires in technical departments fell from 27% in early 2025 to 9% by June. Why it matters: The report says output rose as employees adopted AI tools and that relative hiring in junior technical roles slowed even as the company grows. CEO Dario Amodei has said AI may eliminate up to half of entry-level white-collar jobs.
