Comment by Bill McDermott
CEO of ServiceNow
I think young people coming out of university today [are experiencing] 9% unemployment. I think it could easily go into the mid-30s in the next couple of years. What's happening now, for the non-differentiating roles, [is] so much of the work is going to be done by agents. So it's going to be challenging for young people to differentiate themselves in a corporate environment.

Quote attributed to Bill McDermott about college graduate unemployment potentially reaching "mid-30s." Web search confirms this from a CNBC interview in March 2026, covered by Fortune, PYMNTS, TheStreet, and others. Multiple sources repeat the same phrases verbatim. Vote "against" is correctly aligned -- McDermott warns AI agents will replace entry-level roles, pushing youth unemployment to 30%+. Year 2026 is current. Quote is relevant to statement 389.
