Breaking Job News: AI Could Eliminate 9.3 Million Jobs - Are You in a Risk City?

Episode notes

A major new study just mapped AI job risk across every metro area and every state in the country, and the findings are more alarming than most coverage suggests. The cities facing the largest projected losses are the innovation capitals everyone assumed were untouchable. New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, and Boston each face at least $20 billion in annual income losses, with total vulnerable jobs projected at 9.3 million within the next two to five years. Host Pete Newsome breaks down the industries most exposed, the geographic findings that defy conventional wisdom, and one data point buried in the research that challenges the widely held belief that AI simply moves displaced workers into higher value roles. He also covers Monster's 2026 State of the Graduate report, which found 89% of this year's college graduates worry AI will eliminate entry-level jobs, a 25 percentage point jump from just one year ago. Pete shares what that spike signals for employers hiring new graduates and what they can do to demonstrate stability in an increasingly unstable market.
