Meta is reducing hiring for recent college graduates in certain positions as artificial intelligence tools take over some entry-level tasks. The company continues to seek workers who construct and operate the physical infrastructure required for AI systems.
Fonrouge, CNBC’s Retail Reporter, stated that AI is slowing hiring for college graduates. She added that demand for blue-collar workers building AI infrastructure continues to rise. The company has not released specific numbers on how many positions are affected. Officials have not provided details on which departments face the largest reductions.
Other technology firms have reported similar patterns in recent months. Companies are using AI software to handle tasks previously assigned to new graduates in coding, data analysis, and customer support. Construction and maintenance roles tied to data centers remain in demand. These positions often require different skills and training than traditional office-based technology jobs.
