Status shown is from the original October 2026 claim snapshot. This page is not a new outcome certification or a revised historical record.

01 / What evidence shows

What is actually documented?

Anthropic reported the share of junior technical recruits falling from 27% to 9% while internal agent usage rose.

What remains uncertain?

A changing hiring share is not the number of eliminated jobs and does not establish effects across the whole economy.

Next evidence required: Independent cross-company data on absolute junior hiring, agent adoption and causality.
