Economists expect steadier hiring but warn AI may pressure college graduate wages

What happened

A survey of over 120 US economists found modestly more optimism on near-term hiring demand. But panelists see a slightly higher chance of AI-driven displacement and more downward wage pressure for degree-holding workers.

Why it may matter

• Results or an outcome have been published, so there may be something to check or act on.
• Evidence rather than policy — useful for understanding a trend.
• Useful if you are trying to find an internship or get a job.
