LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Artificial intelligence is starting to impact the labor market and that has many people considering a career change.

Recent college graduates are getting hit hard by changes in the job market, with companies now turning to AI rather than filling entry level roles.

Tech jobs in fields like computer-coding and software are being eliminated too. That's leaving a lot of people out of work.

Experts say that if you want to change career industries, examine your strengths, network with others in the field you are seeking and fill holes in your knowledge base.

"For example, somebody might be working at a consulting firm or an accounting firm and their clients may have been tech clients, so all though you yourself have not worked in the tech industry or big tech company, you have serviced that industry," said Dawn Fay, Operational President - Robert Half.

And consider getting additional certificates to enhance your skills too. This can also enhance your networking.
