China’s new graduates are entering what NYT Economy describes as a dire job market, with record numbers of young people seeking work as artificial intelligence spreads.

The outlet says 12.7 million young people are looking for jobs as China embraces AI, which is beginning to disrupt the workforce and change which skills employers want.

NYT Economy frames AI as an additional challenge for young jobseekers, on top of the already tight labor outlook.
