Podcasts about Jobs

The Washington Roundtable's Evan Osnos interviews the former Commerce Secretary and Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo about a problem she's been working on since she left the Biden Administration: how to make sure that the A.I. revolution does not leave American workers behind. Drawing on her father's experience of losing his factory job in the wake of outsourcing to China, Raimondo warns against repeating the mistakes of the past and argues that the U.S. needs a plan to help workers navigate the A.I. transition. “We can't put the toothpaste back in the bottle. A.I. is out there,” Raimondo says. “We want to harness the good, but be intentional about having a plan and safeguards for the bad.” She also discusses why Democrats should focus not just on affordability but on the politics and promise of prosperity and the American Dream. This week's reading: “A.I. Is Now a Major Election Issue,” by Benjamin Wallace-Wells “If A.I. Takes the Jobs of Young People, How Will They React?,” by Jay Caspian Kang “What Does the Humbling of Leopold Aschenbrenner Mean for the A.I. Bubble?,” by John Cassidy “Is D.N.C. Chair the Worst Job in Washington?,” by Ruby Cramer “The Delusions of John Roberts,” by Margaret Talbot The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

One of the most feared inventions ever was the Linotype machine. Debuting in 1886, it was designed to eliminate tens of thousands of newspaper jobs, specifically the hand-compositors—the highly skilled workers who painstakingly picked individual metal letters out of wooden trays to set type. The Linotype instead would cast an entire line of type in molten lead (hence "line-o'-type") on the spot, working six times faster than a compositor and threating to eliminate 85 percent of the workforce (much like today’s fears of AI wiping out any white-collar job that involves a computer screen). Meanwhile in Hartford, Mark Twain was hemorrhaging his life savings into a rival typesetting machine so complex that one patent examiner allegedly went insane reviewing its 850 drawings. Both these stories show the dominance of the media world on America’s first two centuries. They also show that Linotype represents a classic example of productivity-induced market expansion. It didn't reduce the need for workers; it radically altered the economics of publishing. Newspapers grew in size because it was more affordable to print more pages, and total employment skyrocketed. Today's guest is Alex Wright, author of Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper. We discuss how the United States printed itself into existence with founding documents pulled from hand presses, why the Post Office Act of 1792 created a hidden subsidy worth $56 billion in today's dollars that turned the early republic into the most newspaper-saturated society on earth. We also dig the abnormally large body count of dead editors (because airing an important person’s dirty laundry usually lead to a duel), and the race between Twain's doomed Paige Compositor and Ottmar Mergenthaler's Linotype, the machine that Thomas Edison called the eighth wonder of the world and that ended up destroying the freewheeling printshop culture that had defined American journalism for a century but also expanded it into something different.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It feels like we're stuck in an endless debate about what AI is going to mean for jobs and the economy. The prediction you hear from the people closest to the technology — both its critics and its boosters — is that mass automation is coming, and with it mass unemployment. In response, some AI CEOs are promising a post-labor Golden Age of abundance and universal high income. But you also hear from some techno-optimists and economists that AI will create more jobs than it destroys and that society's fears are unjustified. When these arguments are traded back and forth, no one can know what's actually true, and nothing happens. And caught in the middle of this debate are actual workers trying to figure out what this means for their family and themselves, or whether their kids should go to college. And as long as that debate stays alive, nobody plans or takes action ahead of what's coming. So this week on Your Undivided Attention, rather than continuing to referee this debate, we follow the incentives and show you where they're actually taking us in the very near future. Our guest, economist Molly Kinder, argues that we're entering what she calls the “messy middle”: a period of concentrated and uneven workforce disruption. She has evidence-based arguments about where, specifically, AI will affect the labor force, what the second and third-order consequences of those effects might be, and what we need to do today to protect people's livelihoods. Molly recently left her position as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution to become the founding CEO of a new organization dedicated to addressing AI's impact on jobs. Her Substack, Kinder Futures: Dispatches on AI, Work & What Comes Next, features some of the clearest-eyed analysis of AI's impact on the economy.RECOMMENDED MEDIA Kinder Futures: Dispatches on AI, Work & What Comes Next (Molly's Substack) Molly's blog posts at Brookings The Yale Budget Lab's AI Labor Market Tracker RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES AI and the Future of Work: What You Need to Know Is AI Productivity Worth Our Humanity? with Prof. Michael Sandel AI and Jobs: How to Make AI Work With Us, Not Against Us with Daron Acemoglu   Corrections Molly incorrectly referred to cuts to “Medicare for the neediest populations.” The cuts she describes are to Medicaid.

If you're thinking of starting over and going to med school, you might wonder what your previous jobs have done to prepare you for it. Good news: your old jobs and activities might matter more than your GPA ever will. And we hear from a listener who wants to know if we were super studious in high school. We try to let him down gently.

The U.S. jobs market is cooling — but mining has a very different labor problem: finding the right talent. Veteran geologist and mining expert Steven Enders joins Maggie Lake to explain why the quality of people and management teams can make or break a mining project — even as the industry faces enormous demand for critical minerals. Enders breaks down the looming copper supply gap, why new mines remain so difficult to build, where we may be in the commodity cycle, and why AI can help the mining industry — but won't solve its biggest problems. Plus: why he's skeptical of mining project forecasts, what investors should look for in management teams, and the warning signs that tell him a commodity cycle may be getting mature. Topics include: • U.S. jobs market and mining's talent challenge • Copper demand and the global supply gap • Mining stocks and commodity cycles • How to evaluate mining management teams • AI in mining and mineral exploration • Capex, opex and why mining projects run over budget • M&A and signs of a mature commodity cycle

Zillow just cut more than 500 jobs while home sales are slowing and affordability remains near record-worst levels. But somehow, million-dollar home sales are surging. What kind of housing market is this? This week on **tWiRE: This Week in Real Estate**, we're looking at a housing market increasingly divided by income, geography and buying power, while some of the industry's biggest players fight over listings, access and even what it should mean to call yourself a REALTOR®. **In this episode, we'll cover:** • Zillow cutting roughly 7% of its workforce and what the restructuring may tell us about the portal's strategy and the broader real estate economy • Sen. Elizabeth Warren turning up the pressure on Compass and MRED over private listings, transparency, fair housing and competition • Howard Hanna's controversial proposal for a two-tier REALTOR® system where the title would have to be earned through experience and production • A federal appeals court handing NAR a significant victory in Homie's antitrust lawsuit • Home sales falling as mortgage rates climbed to their highest levels in roughly a year • The widening divide between the luxury market and first-time buyers, with million-dollar sales rising while entry-level buyers retreat • Why buyers in many markets suddenly have more time, choices, concessions and negotiating leverage • The strange affordability story: starter homes are becoming slightly easier to afford even while the typical American home still requires an income near $110,000 • Mortgage demand showing a little life again as rates finally stop their recent climb The national numbers may say "slow housing market," but that description is becoming less useful. Some buyers have leverage. Some buyers can't afford to participate at all. Some luxury markets are running hot. And the industry itself is still fighting over who gets access to listings and who controls the consumer. Join us live on YouTube!

Daimler — maker of the Freightliner truck — is pulling its manufacturing plant out of Portland, Oregon and relocating to North and South Carolina, taking 375 union jobs with it. It's the kind of headline that barely registers surprise anymore: another major employer quietly exits a city that keeps making itself uncompetitive.Portland Mayor Keith Wilson now presides over a business climate that is steadily hollowing out the city's industrial base. High taxes, an openly hostile regulatory posture, and years of political instability have produced an exodus that no amount of press releases can paper over. Daimler isn't alone — the Carolinas didn't recruit these jobs because they're better at manufacturing. They won them because Oregon kept losing them.For the 375 workers at that plant, this isn't an abstraction. These are skilled manufacturing jobs — the kind that anchor families, neighborhoods, and local economies. When a Freightliner plant closes, the ripple hits suppliers, small businesses, and the tax base that funds the schools. Portland's governing class will move on to the next agenda item. The workers won't.Actions have consequences.

Inside Number 10: Jimmy on Tim Cook, getting a wedding letter from Theresa May, and Starting Jobs of the Future We decided to swap the seats this week: Jimmy is the guest. He went on The Independent's In The Room to talk about the three years he spent deciding who got through the door of Number 10 and what that taught him about how people actually get hired. Helen MacNamara, the former Deputy Cabinet Secretary, and Cleo Watson, former special adviser to Theresa May and Boris Johnson, run a summer series called Lessons from Number 10 - what it's really like to work behind that black door. Jimmy worked with both of them. Which, given this show spent the last month asking how you get in the room when you know nobody, is a fairly on-the-nose demonstration of the answer. In this conversation: what the Prime Minister's Business Director actually does all day, why Number 10 has no floor plan and what that does to a new starter, how he got entrepreneurs into the building instead of the companies with big lobbying teams, what business consistently misunderstands about government and the other way round, why bringing business leaders into politics so often doesn't work, the trade trips and the logistics of losing CEOs in foreign countries, and the day it all stopped being fun. Also: the origin story of this podcast. A question Theresa May asked him one morning about where jobs actually come from - and why he's been trying to answer it ever since. Thanks to Helen, Cleo and the team at In The Room for letting us play this here. Their show is at @intheroom.pod, and it's part of The Independent Podcast Network, produced with Next Chapter Studios. Jimmy's Jobs of the Future is a show about work, careers and how people actually get hired - long-form interviews with the people who do the hiring.

In this week's special edition episode of the This Week in Global Development podcast, sponsored by the International Youth Foundation and the Caterpillar Foundation, we examine how shifting labor markets, automation, and artificial intelligence are reshaping the job landscape, leaving millions of young people out of work even as employers face widespread skill shortages. We're joined by Christina Sass, president and CEO of IYF, and Asha Varghese, president of the Caterpillar Foundation and head of corporate social responsibility for Caterpillar Inc., to explore why addressing this transition from education to employment is not just a youth issue, but a critical development priority. The discussion also looks at the power of long-term partnerships in creating systemic, scalable workforce solutions. Highlighting nearly two decades of collaboration through the EquipYouth initiative, and tens of thousands of young people reached, our guests share how combining technical training with essential life skills builds youth agency, resilience, and lasting economic opportunity. The conversation also delves into aligning hiring and training with evolving local and global industry needs, navigating the impacts of AI, and why long-term ecosystem investments outperform short-term grants in achieving sustainable solutions.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into the dynamic landscape of drug manufacturing, regulatory affairs, and scientific breakthroughs that are shaping the future of patient care and therapeutic innovation. Bristol Myers Squibb has made headlines with its substantial $2.3 billion investment in a new manufacturing campus in Houston. This strategic move aims to significantly bolster their capabilities across various modalities including small molecules, biologics, and antibody-drug conjugates. The establishment of this facility is a testament to the growing demand for advanced manufacturing infrastructure needed to support complex therapeutics production. As BMS strengthens its operational capacity, it positions itself to better meet the increasing global demand for innovative treatments. In parallel developments, Jazz Pharmaceuticals is expanding its rare epilepsy pipeline through a $1.3 billion acquisition of Actio Biosciences. This strategic acquisition aligns with Jazz's focus on rare diseases with significant unmet medical needs. By integrating Actio's novel small molecule approach, Jazz aims to leverage these innovative therapies to improve patient outcomes in the rare epilepsy market, highlighting a critical shift towards targeted treatments. Vaderis Therapeutics has successfully raised $152 million in Series B funding, aimed at advancing its AKT-targeting treatment for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). This funding will support clinical development efforts, offering hope for patients with this rare vascular disorder who currently have limited therapeutic options. The advancement of such targeted therapies underscores the growing focus on addressing rare diseases within the biotech sector. Clinical trial advancements remain pivotal, with MoonLake Immunotherapeutics reporting positive Phase 3 data for sonelokimab, an IL-17A/F inhibitor targeting psoriatic arthritis. This nanobody-based antibody offers a novel mechanism of action by modulating autoimmune pathways involved in psoriatic arthritis, demonstrating the potential of biologics in managing complex autoimmune conditions. In a transformative approach to drug discovery, Aureka Biotechnologies has raised $100 million in Series B funding to further its platform-enabled efforts in antibody and protein design using AI and machine learning technologies. This integration represents a significant step forward, enhancing efficiency and precision in identifying viable therapeutic candidates. Despite these advancements, regulatory challenges persist. The FDA recently rejected ITM Isotope Technologies' application for 177Lu-edotreotide due to manufacturing concerns related to gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Such setbacks underscore the critical importance of robust manufacturing practices and regulatory compliance to ensure patient safety and product efficacy. BridgeBio and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals are engaged in a competitive race targeting first-line ATTR-CM patients with differing therapeutic approaches—“silencer” versus “stabilizer” therapies. This debate highlights the intricacies involved in treating transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), a condition affecting the heart and nervous system, pointing towards potential breakthrough treatments that could significantly improve patient outcomes. On the regulatory front, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at revising pediatric vaccine recommendations, reflecting a shift in public health policy that could affect vaccination rates and parental decision-making regarding childhood immunizations. WuXi AppTec recently secured a temporary victory in its legal battle with the U.S. Department of Defense regarding its classification as a Chinese military company. This case highlights the geopolitical complexities faced by global pharmaceutical companies operating in sensitive markets. Meanwhile, technological innovation continues to shape healthcare delivery, exemplified by Abbott's partnership with Google Health to develop an AI-powered health insights application. This collaboration is part of a growing trend toward integrating digital technologies into healthcare to enhance diagnostics and personalized medicine. Finally, strategic corporate restructuring is evident as Aura Biosciences refocuses its R&D efforts on ocular oncology under new leadership. Such moves reflect broader trends within biotech firms to streamline operations and concentrate resources on high-potential therapeutic areas. Overall, these developments illustrate a vibrant pharmaceutical and biotech landscape characterized by scientific innovation, strategic alliances, regulatory shifts, and technological integration—all aimed at advancing patient care and therapeutic efficacy in an increasingly complex global environment. As companies continue to navigate these challenges and opportunities, they are set to reshape the future of drug development with significant implications for patient outcomes worldwide.Support the show

A pipeline fails on a single job, and you shouldn't have to rebuild everything around it to recover. That's what changes with this update.Job rerun is here, and it reruns only the jobs that actually failed. Until now, when a job inside a block failed and you reran the pipeline, every job in that block got rebuilt, including the ones that had already passed. The new default rebuilds only the failed jobs. Every other job in the block, plus jobs from earlier in the pipeline, is carried over and reused, so your workflow topology stays intact and only the new jobs get built.The carried-over jobs are excluded from your billable time. That means a rerun costs you only the jobs that failed, not the whole block. Faster turnaround on failures, and a lower bill to match.The old behavior is still one flag away. We exposed a YAML flag called block rebuild that keeps the full block rebuild when you want it. The new, leaner path is the default, and the escape hatch is there when you need it. sem-ai already understands the new behavior, so agents pick it up and rerun the right way automatically.What's ComingJob rerun is the first building block of doubling down on CI for the second half of 2026.

The U.S. job market isn't collapsing — it's stuck. July payrolls fell by 23,000, while unemployment held at 4.1%. But deeper revisions to May and June erased more than 100,000 previously reported jobs, raising bigger questions about the strength of the labor market. On this episode of Everyday Economics, Chris Krug and PhD economist Orphée Divounguy break down what the latest jobs numbers really mean for workers, businesses and the U.S. economy. They discuss: Why the July jobs report may be less alarming than the headline suggests How revisions erased more than 100,000 jobs from previous months Why hiring and layoffs are both unusually low What "stall speed" means for the labor market Why low labor-force participation is keeping unemployment at 4.1% The risks of weak job-to-job movement and slower wage growth Whether AI and data-center investment can drive a productivity boom Why future productivity gains could create new jobs — and new labor shortages Everyday Economics is brought to you by The Center Square, helping you understand the economic forces shaping your everyday life. #Economy #JobsReport #LaborMarket #Jobs #Inflation #FederalReserve #AI #Economics Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Download your free Painter Growth training here: https://learn.paintergrowth.com/grow-v1?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=grow-v1If you're new here, my name is Mike Gore-Hickman. I'm the founder of Painter Growth, a coaching company that helps painting contractors build real businesses instead of just running jobs.We've worked with over 1,500 painting contractors. Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways. Painted houses the wrong color. I fell off a ladder. Ended my first year with a $20,000 tax bill I couldn't pay.Still early 20s: Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems, sales, and getting help. I hired my first business coach, fixed the chaos & hit over $200K a month in sales before I turned 24.Mid-20s: Followed my girlfriend (now wife) to a new city. Shut the painting business down. Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year. That's where I learned how to build and scale an online business.During COVID: My two worlds collided. Running a painting business plus scaling software companies. I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients.

Let's talk about the funny thing with Trump's Jobs report....

Gold and silver ripping. Jobs numbers telling different many stories. A good  lesson from crowded trades – Let’s not Tip The Boat… Thomas Thornton, Hedge Fund Telemetry is this week’s guest. NEW! DOWNLOAD THE AI GENERATED SHOW NOTES (Guest Segment)   Thomas Thornton is a former portfolio manager, senior trader, and technical analyst with Level Global Investors and Galileo Capital. Tom has written a daily market note for a select group of hedge fund managers for years and now has offered it for all investors with Hedge Fund Telemetry. His long term focus on sentiment indicators borders on the obsessive. Our growing team at Hedge Fund Telemetry is comprised of current and former buy and sell side individuals. Hedge Fund Telemetry was first conceived with inspiration from Tom's lifelong passion following Formula 1 racing. In the early 90's, Formula 1 teams started to equip cars with sensors on every imaginable component and data was relayed wirelessly through telemetry to the pits to analyze and then instructions from the pits were relayed back to the driver so he could make changes to find the optimal balance for the car. It has always been the same way for Tom, as a senior trader at his hedge fund, he would get in early, collect data from many sources, analyze that data, and then communicate information out to his firm so his team could properly balance the firm's portfolio. It's now our goal to relay that same type of information so that one can also gain that edge.

Jobs aren't changing once every few years anymore. They're evolving constantly.  Skills are shifting, AI is reshaping roles, and organizations are redefining jobs faster than traditional job architectures can keep up. At the same time, Talent Acquisition and Compensation teams often evaluate talent through different lenses. Recruiters are responding to hiring realities and candidate expectations, while Compensation is balancing market data, internal equity, and long-term pay strategy.  In this episode, we explore how these two functions can stop speaking different languages and start working from the same playbook. We'll discuss what alignment looks like in practice, how organizations can create a shared understanding of talent and market value, and why stronger collaboration leads to better hiring decisions and more sustainable compensation strategies.     Host:  Ruth Thomas – Chief Compensation Strategist, Payscale     Guests:   Danielle DuBois – Director of Global Rewards, HR Technology, HR Operations & Talent Acquisition, American Dairy Queen Corporation   Michelle Antonsen – Talent Acquisition Leader, American Dairy Queen Corporation   Join us for our upcoming live events to get your questions answered in real time by compensation experts and earn HRCI and SHRM recertification credits: https://www.payscale.com/events

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down a disappointing July jobs report, the University of Michigan refusing to issue grades to first semester freshmen, the left's backwards approach to policing and prisons, and Mitch McConnell going home but not back to the U.S. Senate - at least not yet.First, they wince as the July jobs report shows a loss of 23,000 positions and significant downward revisions for May and June. The economy is still in decent shape overall but job and GDP growth are clearly slowing. What are the solutions?Next, they roll their eyes as the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts says freshmen will not get letter grades their first semester in order to help "curb the mental health crisis." The policy, which is set to begin in Fall 2027, will apply to all students. Jim and Greg wonder how we got this fragile.Then, they react to Bernie Sanders wanting a much smaller prison population. Greg suggests the solution for that is for people to commit fewer crimes. Jim walks through arguments like "defund the police" and "abolish prisons," which socialists frequently embrace.Finally, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell says he is home but not yet ready to return to the U.S. Senate. Is he ever coming back?Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line. Always say hello with QUO.
