Analyzing 285 million U.S. job ads, the study finds that after ChatGPT’s November 2022 launch, postings for occupations most vulnerable to AI substitution dropped 12 %—rising to 18 % by year three—with entry-level, administrative, and professional roles hit hardest, signaling early evidence of generative AI–driven job displacement

> particularly following the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, has led to a significant decline in labor demand for certain occupations in the United States. Specifically, job postings for roles with high vulnerability to AI substitution dropped by an average of 12% between late 2022 and mid-2025, with the impact intensifying to 18% by the third year post-launch

I'm pretty it can grow up 30% with robotics comming up..
