End Of Office Jobs In 24 Months? What’s Happening?

The kind of impact that artificial intelligence is having on the broader job landscape is exceptionally complex. The latest updates are suggesting that office jobs and technical jobs could be evaporated in the next 24 months itself.

In his recent newsletter “The End of the Office,” Andrew Yang argues that artificial intelligence is rapidly displacing white-collar jobs not gradually, but imminently and at scale.

He points to new AI tools that can perform complex tasks previously done by lawyers, designers, analysts, and even coders, often in minutes instead of days. According to Yang, this will trigger a massive wave of layoffs across corporate America, reducing the number of traditional office roles by a significant margin in the next few years.

Yang predicts that mid-career professionals, especially middle managers, will be hit hardest, forcing many to take lower-paid roles or part-time work.

This disruption, he warns, could lead to widespread personal bankruptcies, underemployment, and financial stress, even in professions once viewed as secure.

He also highlights how this shift will devalue traditional degrees, making it harder for college graduates to find work in their fields and pushing some back into education or lower-skill jobs.

Beyond employment, Yang foresees urban decline, with empty downtown office spaces and weakened local economies. He expresses deep concern about rising pessimism, social fragmentation, and the collapse of the classic life-path of education, stable work, and middle-class living.

Overall, Yang urges individuals to prepare financially and calls for broader economic solutions to support displaced workers.
