A recent report from the Center for an Urban Future highlights a concerning trend in the United States: the decline of entry-level jobs, especially those vulnerable to automation and artificial intelligence. Despite this, New York City’s tech industry seems to be booming. Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are establishing themselves in the city, and tech giant Google employs over 14,000 people there. From 2008 to 2023, tech employment in New York City surged by 160%, second only to San Francisco’s rapid growth. This expansion reflects the city’s growing importance as a tech hub, but it also raises questions about the future of job opportunities for those entering the workforce.
