Entry-level jobs are shrinking as economic uncertainty grows and AI replaces many junior tasks, making it harder for new grads to get a foothold in 2026. With more experienced workers competing for fewer roles, early-career candidates need to show real, demonstrable skills and stay flexible about industries and opportunities. Building experience through internships, projects, or volunteering, and leveraging AI rather than competing with it, can help job seekers stand out in a tighter market. https://lnkd.in/gVW5HXnC
