Over the same period, the 26-30 age group has recorded a -4% decline. By comparison, employment among developers aged 41-49 has surged +20%. The 35-40 and 31-34 cohorts have grown +11% and +6%, respectively. As a result, the employment growth gap between the youngest and the oldest group has risen to 40 percentage points. The AI boom is destroying job opportunities for entry-level tech workers."
