London Finance Analyst Vacancies Plunge to 80 From 350 as AI Cuts White-Collar Jobs

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 14

Around 80 finance analyst vacancies are now listed in London on a major recruitment site, down from more than 350 four years ago in one of the world's biggest banking hubs.
AI adoption is driving the drop, with finance analyst roles emerging as a clear casualty as firms automate work once handled by junior white-collar staff.
Coders, lawyers and analysts are all being hit, extending the pressure beyond tech into core professional services that long underpinned London's office economy.
The decline adds to signs of a thinner post-pandemic City workforce, with fewer suit-clad commuters in offices, pubs and Tube carriages around the Square Mile.
