- US unemployment rates are now 5.5%, reports
- The bosses could soon have to manage AI agents as well as humans
- The roles involving LLMS, blockchain and omnichannel models are the most secure
Pushed by generalized economic uncertainty and influenced by the rapid adoption of AI, new research has said that the United States labor market could be down.
Janco figures have highlighted an unemployment rate of 5.5% among computer professionals in May 2025, against 4.6%, which has unemployment in the higher sector of the national average for the fifth consecutive month.
The report also highlights regional changes and the modernization of the IT sector, with skills inheritance in the small markets more likely to be assigned than avant-garde workers in the main technological centers.
The computer job market still finds unemployment above the average
Janco noted that many losses were concentrated in telecommunications and other roles relating to reports, surveillance and support. On the other hand, the roles involve major models of language, the blockchain and omnichannel trade seemed to be the most secure.
“It continues to be an uncertainty with a view to creating jobs for the news. For five consecutive months, the computer unemployment rate was higher than the rate of national unemployment,” said Janco CEO, Victor Janulaitis.
Although the Roles relating to the development of AI are among the safest, the figures suggest that AI could replace numerous entry -level computer work, especially in the telecommunications sector.
The trend suggests a change, rather than the total displacement of workers, but workers who do not adapt to more qualified roles could risk being left.
Many companies now report the use of AI agents to manage workflow tasks traditionally carried out by humans, including decision -making.
For the future, Janco provides for a continuous drop in the computer labor market for the third consecutive year, the future roles that seem very different from the traditional roles of the IT sector.
