Introduction

The mechanics of work is undergoing a seismic change with the advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). The prevailing narratives surrounding GenAI and the workforce tend to lean towards a “job apocalypse” lens, suggesting that many roles are being deleted wholesale from organizational charts, chief among them are
entry-level roles.

A new survey commissioned by D2L of human resources decision makers reveals a reality that is more nuanced but just as concerning for the long-term health of the workforce. Entry-level hiring volume is not yet in a rapid deceleration; rather, the roles are being redefined in ways that will hollow out entry-level work and the talent pipeline necessary for developing experienced talent.
