AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs and push unemployment to 10-20% within 1-5 years
“AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years, Amodei told us in an interview from his San Francisco office.”
Context: Axios interview (reported paraphrase of Amodei's warning, May 28, 2025).
How we judge it
Our interpretation: by 28 May 2030, US unemployment (BLS U-3) reaches 10% or more at some point, with AI widely credited, or entry-level white-collar employment falls by about half. Hedged ("could").
