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

AI is taking over audit associates' work reconciling supporting documents and preparing working papers, along with the closing work of corporate accounting teams, so entry-level hiring shrinks first. State CPA licensure and audit sign-off are the partners' domain, so they do not protect staff roles. Offshoring adds to the pressure.

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.
