Breaking Jobs News: Oracle Fires 30,000 by Email & the AI Gender Gap Nobody's Talking About

Oracle just laid off up to 30,000 workers and delivered the news via a 6am email with no manager warning and immediate system access cutoff. In today's episode, Pete Newsome breaks down the details: what Oracle says the money will fund and what the handling of these cuts reveals about corporate culture at the highest levels.He also covers ADP's March employment report, which shows private sector job growth of 62,000, but the breakdown tells a more complicated story. Medium and large employers were net negative on hiring. Small businesses carried the entire market. Healthcare added 58,000 while trade and transportation lost the same number in a single month. New Brookings Institution research reveals that 86% of the workers most exposed to AI displacement with the least ability to adapt are women, despite women now outnumbering men in overall US employment. Only 14% of women have received extensive AI training from their employer. Pete shares what that gap means and what individuals can do about it without waiting for their employer to act.And the job-switching pay premium, which peaked at 54% in 2022, has dropped sharply; Pete explains what that means for anyone considering a move right now.New episodes every week.
