Breaking Job News: Young Americans Are Abandoning Desk Jobs, Mass AI Layoffs Hit Crypto, & a Fortune 500 CEO's Alarming Prediction

Today's headlines all tell the same story from different angles: AI is reshaping the workforce faster than most people are prepared for, and the workers feeling it first are the ones just getting started.Host Pete Newsome breaks down new data showing a measurable employment decline for workers aged 22 to 25 in AI-exposed roles, why vocational enrollment is surging, and what it means that nearly half of Americans under 34 are reconsidering their career path entirely because of AI.He also covers two major crypto layoffs this week (Gemini and Crypto.com), both of which cited AI directly, alongside broader cuts at Block, Meta, and Atlassian. The language from CEOs on this topic is getting less diplomatic by the week.On the leadership side, CEO exits hit near-record levels in January with 209 departures in a single month. Pete explains why that kind of turnover at the top rarely stays at the top.And for balance, OpenAI is nearly doubling its headcount by year end, and workers with AI skills are commanding 56% higher wages on average. The opportunity is there for people willing to move toward it rather than away from it.Articles:1. WSJ Report: https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/ai-jobs-young-people-careers-14282284?2.
