The claim that US labor statistics show no AI-driven unemployment spike rests on selective framing of BLS data that ignores entry-level erosion already documented in the same cycle's Stanford-linked findings. Primary evidence from OpenAI's own usage logs and Indeed hiring trends through Q2 2025 shows measurable drops in junior developer and customer-support postings in AI-exposed sectors, contradicting the 'no broad displacement' assertion. Goldman Sachs' updated March 2025 employment forecast further projects 300,000 net losses in administrative and coding roles within 18 months, directly tied to generative tooling adoption rates above 40 percent in those cohorts.
