aceYoung developers are the clearest casualties so far
Employment for coders aged 22–25 has fallen roughly 20% against its late-2022 peak.
Employment for developers aged 22–25 is down roughly 20% from its late-2022 peak, with no clear reabsorption path identified yet for that specific cohort.
Retraining programs exist but none has yet demonstrated reabsorption of this cohort at scale; the data cannot yet separate AI displacement from broader tech-hiring contraction.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0007 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
