Major Countdown

until AI starts cutting hiring for this major’s grads
Apr 2, 2030 · 1263 days left

AI already handles reference questions, cataloguing and metadata, so entry hiring at academic and special libraries and in records management shrinks first. The MLIS is a hiring convention, not a legal staffing rule, so public libraries add only slower adoption.

The countdown is the time left until AI is expected to start cutting hiring for this major’s grads. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
