Class of 2030: the hiring decline may start before you graduate

AI agents already handle shipping documents, buyer emails and first-draft translation, so entry-level hiring in trade administration and translation shrinks first. Face-to-face negotiation on business trips and client trust keep part of overseas sales going. Slowing Korea–China trade and the surplus of Chinese speakers are separate from AI.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
