 In episode 263, Coffey talks with Jimmy Taylor about the state of return-to-office, AI's real impact on workforce participation and HR practice, and why proactive networking and skills-based hiring matter more than ever.  They discuss CBRE data showing peak office utilization reaching 80% and the factors driving successful return-to-office adoption; the hidden financial costs employees bear when returning to the office and how employers should account for that in compensation and goodwill; why early-career professionals stand to benefit most from in-person work through mentorship, visibility, and relationship-building; June jobs report softness, a 50-year-low labor participation rate, and competing explanations from immigration enforcement changes and AI displacement; AI as a net job creator over time, drawing parallels to fears about the internet eliminating insurance agents, real estate agents, and recruiters in the 1990s; the organizational opportunity and challenge of assessing AI skill gaps and reskilling loyal existing employees rather than replacing them with outside talent; Gen Z's surprising gaps in desktop computing and interpersonal skills despite their reputation for tech fluency; the case for replacing traditional resumes with tailored application processes and front-end skills assessments to filter out AI-generated candidate slop; professional association involvement as a proactive career resilience and network-building strategy before a job loss forces it; and Dallas HR's hands-on AI skills day designed to move HR professionals from AI curiosity to practical daily application.  For listeners of Good Morning HR podcast, use 2026-CoffeyGMHR-100 promo code and take $100 off a HRSouthwest full conference registration at https://hrsouthwest.com.   For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

Help Wanted: How to Find and Keep Talent in a Forever-Tight Labor Market by Jerry Rubin, Steven L. Dawson https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262054396/ https://www.helpwantedbook.com/ How employers can compete in a challenging labor market—by hiring differently, redesigning job quality, and rethinking their government relations strategies. From two leaders in business and workforce development with a proven track record in innovative workforce strategies. Over the past ten years, the U.S. labor market has been buffeted, with demand shifting dramatically. At the same time, demographic trends mean that U.S. labor supply will steadily tighten into the coming decade: Relatively fewer native-born workers are entering the workforce; a greater percentage are choosing not to work; and an aging baby boom generation is exiting the workforce. What's worse, this systemic tightening of the US labor market has been exacerbated by the Trump administration's decision to dramatically constrain immigration, the primary source of recent labor market growth. Welcome to the “forever-tight” labor market. In Help Wanted, Jerry Rubin and Steven Dawson combine their 80 years of experience in management and workforce development to offer employers an “employee-focused competitive strategy.” This strategy includes a wide range of practical, well-researched tools and detailed case studies from a breadth of employers that will help readers compete for talent and retain a productive workforce. Since the underlying cause of the tightening labor supply is structural, employers—whether for-profit, nonprofit, or governmental—must respond in kind. They too must undertake structural changes in finding, hiring, and retaining workers. Now equal in importance to an organization's customer-service strategy, an employee-focused strategy is no longer simply a competitive advantage—it is fast becoming a competitive necessity. About the author Jerry Rubin is a Senior Advisor at the Harvard Project on the Workforce, a Foundation Fellow at the Eastern Bank Foundation and Co-Chair of the MassSkills Coalition. Most recently, he was CEO and President of JVS-Boston, a 250-employee organization that consults directly to businesses seeking job candidates recruited and trained by JVS. About the author Steven L. Dawson was founder and President of PHI, which consults on job-quality redesign to a range of private long-term care businesses and public healthcare/employment agencies. Earlier, he was founder and President of The ICA Group, which consults to and finances employee‐owned enterprises nationwide.

What the heck is going on with the restaurant labor market right now?This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Chad Moutray, chief economist with the National Restaurant Association.We wanted Moutray on the podcast to make some sense of the most recent jobs report. The industry shed 33,000 jobs in June, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cut the previous month's estimate by 10,000 jobs.That turned what had been a seemingly improving labor market into a weaker one. Moutray helps us understand these numbers and what they say about the restaurant industry at the moment. We also talk about the economy and many other issues.We're talking about the labor market on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.

As usual the headline doesn't tell the story. The numbers often get revised for previous months.  This time revisions to April and May, combined with a falling unemployment rate, tell a much weaker story than the headline suggests.The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nonfarm payrolls increased by 57,000 in June. That is already a modest number for an economy of this size. But April was revised down by 31,000 jobs, from 179,000 to 148,000. May was revised down by 43,000, from 172,000 to 129,000. Together, those two prior months contained 74,000 fewer jobs than previously reported.Revisions are a normal part of survey-based data. More employers respond, seasonal factors are recalculated, and the estimate becomes more complete. The issue is not that revisions occur. The issue is that investors, lenders, and policymakers often react to the first estimate as though it were precise. In this case, the revised trend is materially softer than the original narrative.Now let us compare the payroll survey with the household survey. In June, the household survey estimated that employment fell by 507,000 people. The civilian labor force contracted by 720,000. The number of people outside the labor force increased by 832,000. At the same time, the official unemployment rate declined from 4.3 percent to 4.2 percent.To be counted as unemployed, a person must be without work and actively looking for work. When someone stops looking, that person leaves the labor force and disappears from the unemployment calculation. So the unemployment rate can fall even while employment falls, provided the labor force shrinks faster.That is exactly why the participation rate matters. It fell three tenths of a percentage point in June, to 61.5 percent. The employment-to-population ratio also fell, to 59.0 percent. Those measures are not perfect, but together they show that a smaller share of the working-age population was either employed or participating in the job market.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

The U.S. economy added just 57,000 jobs in June, far fewer than economists expected, while April and May payroll gains were revised downward.

Why did global VCs invest $60M into India's most operationally heavy marketplace problem?The early bet was undoubtedly on the founder, Anjali Sardana.A 23 year old biology graduate from Georgetown University who is today the solo founder of Pronto. The company founded on 2nd April 2024 is at a $200 Million valuation, just a year later and they are growing at god-speed. What began in a single hub in Sector 56, Gurgaon is today 22,000 bookings a day, 5,000+ professionals, and operations across India's biggest cities.But Pronto was never just about convenience. It was built on a belief that India's home services market is broken not just for customers, but even more so for workers. No income stability. No safety net. No formal identity in the system. Not many individual investors write a $20M cheque. Lachy Groom did, alongside General Catalyst and Gladebrook. One year in, Pronto's growth explains the conviction.

AJ is fresh off the best concert of her life, and Shane is headed to the World Cup, so episode 192 kicks off with appropriate energy before diving into some of the meatiest topics the pod has covered in a while. They start with a Wall Street Journal piece about an elite retreat where children of ultra-high-net-worth families learn how not to blow their inheritance. AJ renames it Slumlord Training Camp, and she is not wrong. The conversation turns into a broader discussion about wealth hoarding, trickle-down economics, and why the top 0.001% of Americans added $2.7 trillion in wealth between 2020 and 2025 — roughly 250 people, for the record. From there, AJ and Shane dig into PwC's report on how AI is splitting the labor market into two distinct tracks, what it means for entry-level workers, and why your intern is now literally Claude. They also break down Zillow's latest housing market report and why you should always read the fine print on who is paying for the research. And they close on the Nest Egg Protection Act, a Republican proposal to give homeowners over 65 a one-million-dollar capital gains exclusion, and why AJ thinks we will never hear about this bill again. Topics covered: The R365 retreat for ultra high net worth kids and what it actually teaches them Wealth hoarding, trickle-down economics, and the $2.7 trillion wealth increase for 250 Americans PwC's two-track AI labor market report and what it means for entry-level workers Why radiologists and developers are thriving in the AI era Zillow's housing market update and why you should read who funded the research The Nest Egg Protection Act and a one-million-dollar capital gains exclusion for homeowners over 65 AJ's book Creative Money: New Financial Rules for Artists, Innovators, and Misfits Timestamps: 00:00 AJ went to Rosalía at MSG, and it was the best show of her life 03:17 Shane is wearing a Colombia jersey and headed to the World Cup 05:30 The Wall Street Journal's elite retreat, where wealthy kids learn not to blow their inheritance 10:41 The $2.7 trillion wealth increase for the top 0.001% and why this is getting out of control 15:06 PwC's AI labor market report: the two-track economy and what it means for entry-level workers 19:15 Why companies using AI are hiring more, not less 21:52 Zillow's housing market update and the fine print on who benefits 24:09 The Nest Egg Protection Act: a one million dollar capital gains exclusion for homeowners over 65 30:53 Why this bill is not a real solution to housing inventory 35:35 AJ's book Creative Money and a teaser for next week's Peter Thiel secret society episode

Wyatt Thomson of OpenAI speaks with economists Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok about AI, labor markets, and the future of economic growth. The conversation explores one of the most common fears surrounding AI: that increasingly capable systems will eliminate jobs. Cowen and Tabarrok argue instead that economic growth remains the key variable. Throughout history, productivity-enhancing technologies have transformed work, created new industries, and expanded living standards, even as they disrupted existing jobs and institutions. They discuss automation, comparative advantage, inequality, education, healthcare, energy, and the kinds of work that may become more valuable in an AI-driven economy. Along the way, they examine longer-term questions about abundance, ownership, AI agents, and how societies can adapt to rapid technological change.   Resources: Follow Tyler on X: https://x.com/tylercowen Follow Alex on X: https://x.com/ATabarrok Follow Wyatt on X: https://x.com/dataWyatt   Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Dante joins the Inside Economics crew to dissect the May jobs report, which he describes as shocking.

But a closer look reveals most gains came from leisure, hospitality, healthcare, and local government, while small businesses continue to pull back on hiring plans. This analysis breaks down what's driving job growth, why small business concerns matter, and whether today's strong headline numbers tell the full story about the labor market.

Julia Regier is a policy and research manager at MIT's Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work, where she focuses on workforce and policy impacts. Her path here was anything but straight, from studying philosophy at Wellesley to an MBA at Yale to translating dense economics research for people who don't speak economics. We talk about what the data shows for workers without college degrees (spoiler: it's not great, and it's been getting worse since 1980), why the self-checkout AI surveillance story is a perfect case study in automation gone wrong, and what it would take to redirect AI development toward something that works for workers, not just around them. We also get into the market failure at the heart of how AI is being built, why a handful of people setting the vision for all of us is a problem, and what policy levers could shift things. Julia also makes the moral case, loud and clear, for a living wage, and we're here for it.

Matt Miskin cautions that beneath the surface of a blowout JOLTS report — including a two-year high in job openings. However, stagnant hiring and quit rates reveal a labor market far looser than headlines suggest. He argues that ongoing fiscal stimulus is acting as a sugar rush for the economy, and that the Fed may lean on bond vigilantes rather than rate hikes to tighten conditions.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

As the labor market continues to shift in 2026, many employers are reevaluating the benefits and workplace perks they offer employees. In this month's HR podcast, Rob, Scott, and Jason discuss how current labor market conditions are influencing employer decisions around compensation, flexibility, retirement plans, voluntary benefits, and employee expectations. They also explore which perks employees value most, how organizations can remain competitive, and why balancing cost management with retention strategies remains a key challenge for employers. For guidance on employee benefits planning, workforce retention strategies, and HR best practices, contact hr@employco.com.

Today from SDPB - an event around Missing and Murdered Indigenous People month, a look at the labor market and more.

The labor market is shifting to a low-hire, low-fire environment, with Jordan Shapiro noting reduced mobility is weighing on wage growth as inflation outpaces pay. Companies are prioritizing long-term hiring quality over speed, supporting margins but limiting worker leverage. In a tighter job market, employees may need a more data-driven approach to maintain compensation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

P.M. Edition for May 8. The U.S. economy added 115,00 jobs in April, beating analyst expectations for the second month in a row. WSJ economics reporter Chao Deng explains how this could be a turning point for the labor market–and what that means for the Federal Reserve. Plus, the Virginia Supreme Court threw out Democrats' efforts at redistricting ahead of the midterm elections. We hear from Journal national political reporter Ken Thomas about how this could affect Democrats' chances at retaking the House. And we're exclusively reporting that Intel will supply some chips for Apple devices—a deal that could be huge for the chipmaker's attempt to turn around its business. Alex Ossola hosts.

The last year has seen the U.S. labor market enter a challenging position. Layoffs at major companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Verizon have put more people out of work while costs of living are rising. The fashion industry wasn't spared. Saks Global is laying off 16% of its workforce, and other major fashion brands, like H&M and Nike, have made staff cuts. For people just entering the fashion industry, it's a daunting proposition. On this week's Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi spoke with Keith Fraley, a professor of fashion business management, about the challenges facing new graduates and others seeking entry-level roles in the fashion industry. One of the biggest changes Fraley has seen is that the training period for new employees is much shorter than it used to be. "The businesses are expecting immediate contribution from their new hires," Fraley said. "And before you can contribute, you need to show that you know what the job entails, that you understand how the business makes money, because they want to see people making an impact in their role relatively quickly after they're hired." Fraley has seen far more students who are interested in the creative side of the business, including design and product development, taking more business-oriented classes. That reflects a shift in the labor market, where more applicants are competing for fewer openings and need more ways to demonstrate their value and versatility. One of the most pressing concerns in fashion employment is AI. A recent Vogue Busines survey of 300 current and aspiring fashion workers found that only 32% of students feel positive about the role that AI will play in their careers. Most believe that AI will further reduce the number of available jobs. Fraley was more optimistic, while acknowledging the concern. "Repetitive tasks, basic analysis might be automated," Fraley said. "But that will just increase demand for strategic thinking and creative interpretation. I don't think AI will replace many fashion roles, but it will certainly reshape them."

The latest jobs report came in stronger than expected, challenging growing fears that the economy is starting to crack.Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong break down why hiring remains surprisingly resilient despite slowing growth, rising inflation pressure, and continued concern around AI-driven job disruption.Also covered:Why the unemployment rate rose even with solid job creationThe hidden demographic shift reshaping the labor marketWhy transportation and freight activity are suddenly surgingHow rising prices are eating away at consumer spending powerWhy the Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey may no longer be usefulThe growing debate over whether AI is distorting the economyHow cybersecurity risks are accelerating as AI tools become more powerfulWhy SpaceX's upcoming IPO could reshape markets and index investingWhy the economy may be stronger — and stranger — than many investors expected.

As the S&P 500 (SPX) looks to close out a 6th straight winning week, Adam Coons joins Nicole Petallides to discuss the state of the U.S. economy. He weighs in on the April jobs report, saying "the economy is doing just fine" and coming out of the post-pandemic over-hiring. Adam says AI might be a scapegoat for some job cuts. On the earnings front, he says momentum is "backed by real revenue and real earnings" which separates the AI rally from dot-com bubble decades earlier. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The labor market remains resilient, with strength expanding beyond services into manufacturing, according to Brian Jacobsen. He argues the data likely keeps the Fed on pause, while highlighting a growing inflation divide across income groups and why long‑term fundamentals—not “Sell in May” seasonality—will drive markets through recent volatility.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The US economy looks great on paper: high GDP, low unemployment, and booming markets. So why does it feel like the system is broken for so many people? To unpack the disconnect between macroeconomic data and everyday financial anxiety, we're joined by Chicago Booth professor Steve Kaplan. A staunch defender of the free market, Kaplan argues that despite our collective pessimism, American capitalism is actually delivering unprecedented prosperity. Are we just looking at the data wrong, or is the market failing us? From the staggering costs of the US healthcare system to the lasting scars of the China labor shock, we debate the deepest fractures in our modern economic framework. Recorded alongside the Stigler Center's economic conference "Can Capitalism Be Popular?" the conversation covers how to actually measure an economic system, the U.S. vs. Europe debate, the opioid crisis, health care lock-in, teachers' unions, UBI, and the core tension of the whole show: if capitalism is working, why doesn't it feel that way? Connect with us:

For decades, Americans were promised that a college degree guaranteed a secure spot in the middle class. But instead of entering corporate management, many graduates are finding themselves trapped in low-paying service roles with crippling debt. Is this widening gap between expectations and financial realities fundamentally reshaping the modern American workforce? New York Times reporter Noam Scheiber joins the podcast to unpack the core arguments of his new book “Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class” about this labor shift. He argues that the psychological injury of these broken promises is sparking a unique wave of workplace activism.  The systemic failure of the college wage premium poses urgent questions for the future of American capitalism. If millions of highly educated citizens feel cheated by the system, the resulting political and economic destabilization could be severe.  Subscribe to our Youtube Channel Follow Capitalisn't on Instagram & TikTok Send us your questions or comments by emailing capitalisntpod@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Corporate profits are booming. So why haven't most workers gotten a raise? For decades, we've been told a simple story: work harder, become more productive, and your wages will follow. But what if that story was never really true? This week, Nick and Goldy talk to Arindrajit Dube—one of the most influential economists shaping how we understand wages, and author of a new book, The Wage Standard: What's Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix It —for a conversation that cuts to the heart of how pay actually works in America. At a moment when the gap between what the economy produces and what workers take home keeps growing, this episode challenges some of the most fundamental assumptions in economics—and asks what it would take to build a labor market that actually delivers for working people. Because if wages aren't just set by “the market”… then they can be changed. Arin Dube is an economist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and one of the leading researchers on wages and labor markets. He is the author of The Wage Standard: What's Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix It, and has advised policymakers in the U.S. and internationally on minimum wage policy and labor market dynamics.

Almost four hundred thousand American workers dropped out of the labor force in March, setting yet a new low in labor participation. Why? There are no jobs, a fact confirmed by both the employment estimate plus an utterly dismal hiring rate from JOLTS, one that rivaled January and February 2009. There's more, too. S&P Global said the services sector contracted for the first time in three years last month and a decline in its employment index, showing how the oil price shock is already starting to sting. Eurodollar University's conversations w/Steve Van Metre-------------------------------------------------------------In a world where markets swing on every headline, focus matters.
