Season 7, Episode 34: What if everything turns out alright?

Nearly four years post-ChatGPT, US employment data show no AI-driven jobs collapse, though high-exposure workers face measurably reduced hiring.

  • No jobs apocalypse yet: US unemployment sits at 4.1% (near full employment) with 162,000 payroll jobs added in August, nearly four years after ChatGPT's November 2022 launch.
  • Economist estimates AI created ~1 million jobs: versus roughly 200,000 AI-attributed layoffs since mid-2023, per Burning Glass Institute economist Gad Levinon and LinkedIn data showing 640,000 new AI-specific jobs (2023-2025).
