All of these are either ai-related or have been easy degrees that many go for but are shitty careers (fine arts, sociology, etc). Only confusing ones to me are chemistry and public policy+law

Physics being so low makes sense bc usually you need a masters or doctorate anyways

AI, it will be back. We’re already seeing companies reversing that strategy.

Ai can do entry-level physics, it can do entry-level jobs for computer engineering just not the high level ones. Many companies are turning to ai for commercial art/graphic design over paying someone especially at entry-level. It can do a little bit of entry-level chemistry jobs now that I think about it too. You mentioned the other two. They may not be related, doesn’t mean companies aren’t taking the cheap route and turning to using ai for them

Right, the careers aren’t ai related, but ai is related to why these careers have the highest unemployment rate. Thats why I said ai-related, because it’s in regards to a post about the highest unemployment rate careers
