Census Working Paper Examines Career Outcomes for AI-Exposed College Majors
A new working paper from the U.S. Census Bureau examines labor market outcomes for college graduates whose majors expose them to artificial intelligence-related disruption. The paper, titled "Graduating into Disruption: Labor Market Outcomes for AI-Exposed Majors," explores how recent graduates fare as AI reshapes the demand for certain skills.
The research considers how the timing of graduation interacts with AI exposure in fields of study, analyzing outcomes for workers whose training overlaps with tasks increasingly automated or augmented by AI tools. The working paper is part of the Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies series.
The full paper is available as a PDF from the Census Bureau's website, where readers can review the methodology, data, and detailed findings on how AI exposure shapes early career trajectories.
