so you mean other field unemployment rate actually dropped or maintain and not increasing?? can list down field, I will need for future reference if want to change field, dun want waste time choosing another field with increasing unemployment rate..
Nobody said AI is not affecting other jobs. The title of the article is - "Learn to Code" Backfires Spectacularly. IT degree is not iron rice bowl anymore.
QUOTE
While folks who majored in fields like anthropology and physics fared even worse, with unemployment rates of 9.4 and 7.8 percent respectively, computer engineering had the third-highest rate of unemployment on the New York Fed's rankings, while computer science had the seventh — a precipitous fall from grace for a major once considered an iron-clad ticket to high earnings and job security.
(Those numbers, notably, are worse even than the outcomes for journalism grads. Despite being accurately advised that their chosen field is dying, recent grads who majored in journalism are only experiencing unemployment at a rate of 4.4 percent, per the NYFR's analysis.)
since 2000s, any form degree was never any rice bowl. those are the time of 1980s-1990s. unless you graduate from Havard or MIT, then that is another story..

Never in modern history has so many jobs been disrupted at the same time. You spend more than 10 years in school, then another 3 or 4 years in university then when you graduate you can't find a job. What to do? Go back to school? Sell your blood for money? In China some kids go through grueling 611 education system - wake up at 6am, study until 11pm. How fucked up is it if after going through all that, sacrificing their childhood then when they graduate they cannot find a job? And people still wonder why birth rate is falling, Tang Ping Bai Lan?

Where do they go from here? Aside from going back to school for something more lucrative, they could take the suggestion from one laid-off tech veteran, who last year told SFGATE that she had started selling her blood plasma to make ends meet.

the people who said learn to code backfired are shallow or u nvr learn to code. the best takeaway from learn to code, is not the coding itself, rather is understanding basic logical thinking & logic flow. this logical skill applies not only in programming, but your everyday life & other tasks as well. also, it teaches u how to "communicate with machine", which is a crucial skill in managing AI. u think any idiot can just command AI to code something & it works? non programming people dont even hav the logic to state their requirements properly.
It is a matter of time most professionals & trademen will be affected eventually.
Don't think tradesmen will be replaced by AI or computers. Who's gonna fix the blocked pipe or extend one's kitchen. I see all my contractors all busy need to prebook them weeks ahead
Those sit in front of computer whole day kind of jobs are slowly being replaced. You have to do work that require hands on that AI very difficult to replicate. Bring on blue collar work.

Eventually there won’t even be need for human giving instruction to AI. Ultimately pesky human will be purged and fully replaced by AI and advanced robotic
