AI company Anthropic published a report on Friday, indicating that the proportion of junior-level employees in its technical departments has fallen from 21% to 14% since early 2025, while junior technical hires dropped from 27% to 9%. Technical teams now represent a smaller share of the overall workforce (from 61% to 56%), attributed to business expansion and AI tools enabling non-technical staff. Additionally, meeting time per employee is up 20% compared to a year ago, with technical contributors seeing a 16% increase, which the company links to the importance of human trust and accountability.
