In data analytics and consulting, AI is already cutting junior hiring. Production scheduling and quality paperwork are also moving to AI schedulers, but production engineering jobs that track down line bottlenecks and win over floor workers remain, so the manufacturing path lags by a few years.

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.
