"We are preparing for a flux of unemployed young people-as well as other people-from AI,"
"I don't know that it'll be catastrophic, but I do think we're going to see a significant reduction in a number of jobs. I think it's going to hit low wage workers especially hard."
"It's really hitting college students right now in the marketplace. It's really hitting young adults without college degrees."
Goodwill operates over 650 job centers and served more than two million people with employment services last year, and is preparing for increased demand from AI-driven job displacement. Automation will most severely affect low-wage and entry-level roles, with call centers and sales positions already experiencing significant cuts as organizations shift to AI. Young adults, especially college students and those without college degrees, are facing higher barriers to entry and elevated unemployment. People without college degrees account for a large share of current joblessness, with the problem particularly acute among young men. The organization anticipates continuing increases in unemployment-related service needs.
