With the number of jobs dramatically slowing in the last year, many question if this decline is down to companies turning to AI for completing entry-level tasks in particular. Research published earlier this month by Yale University shows no major difference in the types of roles and tasks in so-called `white-collar jobs` since late 2022, an auspicious date that coincides with the launch of ChatGPT. In this week‘s Five-Minute Frida...
