- The share of junior-level employees in technical departments fell from 21% to 14% since early 2025.1
- Junior technical hires declined from 27% to 9% over the same period.1
- Technical teams’ share of the overall workforce dropped from 61% to 56%, which Anthropic attributes partly to business function expansion and coding tools enabling non-technical staff to build software.1
