Even more troubling: job seeker optimism has plunged to its lowest level in more than a decade, with confidence in the job market collapsing. And while some workers push back, Brookfield declar...

In today's episode of Cornering the Job Market, Pete discusses the August employment numbers released this morning by the BLS, OpenAI's new jobs platform that's coming in 2026, an Amazon memo that indicates they are having trouble recruiting AI talent, and why Gen Z is ditching office jobs for insurance and real estate.

The signals from the job market are getting harder to ignore. August’s ADP report delivered just 54,000 new private sector jobs, well below expectations and a sharp slowdown from July’s stronger showing. Economists are calling it another red flag for growth and more fuel for the Fed to consider cutting rates. 

But while headlines focus on weak hiring, a groundbreaking study quietly shattered one of the biggest workplace myths: that young people can’t stay put. It turns out Gen Z and millennials are sticking with jobs just as long as Baby Boomers did at the same ag...

Is the job market losing its footing? July job openings fell to 7.18 million, which is 200,000 below expectations and part of a troubling pattern of downward revisions. These numbers not only raise doubts about government data but also hint at a cooling economy that could trigger another rate cut.

But that’s not the only red flag. Quest Diagnostics reports over 1% of workers are testing positive for fentanyl, with surprise screenings showing rates seven times higher than pre-employment tests. Employers are scrambling to tighten safety protocols as substance use collides with workplace performance.

Meanwhile, the AI de...

Is the American Dream slipping away? A new Wall Street Journal poll shows only 1 in 4 Americans believe they can raise their standard of living (the lowest confidence since the 1980s). Even more striking, nearly 70% say hard work no longer guarantees success, a sentiment uniting people across politics, income, and age.

At the same time, today’s job search feels broken. With LinkedIn applications up 45% thanks to one-click apply, candidates are caught in a numbers game they can’t win. The smarter move? Skip mass-applying and pick up the phone; connecting with a recruiter can set you apart in a...

In today's episode, Pete shares the latest U.S. employment projections from the BLS, which reveal a significant slowdown in job growth over the next decade.

Also, discover why some say the monthly BLS job revisions aren't a bad thing, hear the results from Express Employment's job seeker report on job security, and find out the average number of job changes in a worker's career.

To start, state unemployment figures reveal a sharp divide: South Dakota boasts a low unemployment rate of 1.9%, while DC struggles at 6% and California at 5.5%. However, significant revisions are looming, with Goldman Sachs projecting that up to 950,000 jobs could be removed from official counts in the next BLS report.

However, job postings tell a different story: while openings are down 1% from last year, there are still 7.5 million available positions, well above pre-pandemic levels. Inflation and wag...

The job market is shifting rapidly as AI reshapes how companies approach work. Duolingo’s CEO, once an alarmist about “robots are coming,” now insists that AI won’t mean layoffs but rather a rethinking of roles to boost productivity. His claim that engineers will guide AI instead of being replaced raises a bigger question: are workers training their own replacements, just as jobs once moved offshore?

Additionally, we discuss how MIT research provides...

Bad hires are expensive, costing companies upwards of $50,000 each. But beyond the financial hit, they disrupt team morale, stall productivity, and can damage your culture from the inside out. And here's the kicker: 74% of employers admit they've hired the wrong person.
