VINDICATED! (sadly). The govt can no longer hide the decline in jobs

COVID Reason ā€¢ 812 implied HN points ā€¢ 01 Nov 24
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. Job losses in the private sector are alarming, with 28,000 jobs lost, especially in manufacturing and retail. This shows a real problem in the economy.
  2. Government jobs increased by 40,000, which may cover up serious issues in other job sectors. This is a sign the economy isn't as strong as it looks.
  3. The labor force is shrinking, with many not participating anymore and unemployment rising. This trend is not sustainable and needs urgent attention.

America has to feel fair

Noahpinion ā€¢ 24353 implied HN points ā€¢ 22 Dec 25
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. Anti-discrimination laws forbid racial and gender bias, but theyā€™re hard to enforce, so real-world discrimination ā€” including against White men in some sectors ā€” can persist.
  2. People care about individual fairness, not just group statistics. When individuals feel unfairly treated, trust in institutions falls and politics can polarize into racial blocs.
  3. The best way to restore trust is to visibly enforce anti-discrimination laws through high-profile legal victories and repeated lawsuits so everyone sees that unfair hiring and firing wonā€™t be tolerated.

I Was Fired by New Yorkā€™s Attorney General for Opposing ā€˜Gender-Affirming Careā€™

Common Sense with Bari Weiss ā€¢ 4178 implied HN points ā€¢ 27 Jan 26
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. A government attorney who criticized pediatric genderā€‘affirming care was warned for public comments and then fired, showing that employees can face job consequences for opposing agency positions on sensitive issues.
  2. Senior officials in the same office actively promoted and legally defended access to genderā€‘affirming treatments, which created a clash between institutional policy and internal critics.
  3. The case highlights broader debates about pediatric genderā€‘affirming care, including concerns about safety, informed consent, and whether vulnerable patients are being misled, fueling legal and political conflict.

ACX Classifieds 1/26

Astral Codex Ten ā€¢ 3785 implied HN points ā€¢ 29 Jan 26
šŸŽ­ļø Culture Employment
  1. This is an irregular classifieds thread where people can advertise things in the comments.
  2. Keep replies under the right top-level category (Employment, Dating, Read My Blog, Consume My Product/Service, Meetup, Other) and donā€™t add new top-level comments or theyā€™ll be deleted.
  3. Be respectful especially when responding to dating posts, and consider the linked resources like the EA job board, internships, and meetup finder for related needs.

White Collar Goes Blue

Working Theorys ā€¢ 338 implied HN points ā€¢ 06 Mar 26
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. AI is making intelligence abundant, so the luxury rights of whiteā€‘collar workā€”autonomy, creative ownership, flexible schedulesā€”are shrinking and many whiteā€‘collar roles will be rescaled into tradeā€‘like, execution-focused jobs.
  2. Organizations are likely to split into a small elite, named team that shapes direction and keeps the perks, and a larger, anonymous team that executes defined tasks; this two-tier model turns whiteā€‘collar work more like blueā€‘collar structure.
  3. To keep the premium, people must make themselves scarce through distinctive skill, public influence, or trusted relationshipsā€”or embrace apprenticeship and trade pathways as whiteā€‘collar norms migrate toward physical, executional work.

āœØ AIā€™s superintelligence gamble

Faster, Please! ā€¢ 913 implied HN points ā€¢ 13 Feb 26
šŸ•¹ Technology Employment
  1. Silicon Valley firms are racing to build far more powerful, even ā€˜godlike,ā€™ AI systems that could dramatically reshape work and the economy.
  2. The central debate is not whether AI is risky but whether moving forward with it is less risky than standing still and falling behind.
  3. Bold claims that most whiteā€‘collar computer jobs will be automated soon highlight the gap between an AI being technically capable and it actually being widely deployed in businesses.

Will AI Take Your Job? Deconstructing Job Descriptions To Understand What Roles Are Most Vulnerable

High ROI Data Science ā€¢ 297 implied HN points ā€¢ 10 Oct 24
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. Job descriptions might not fully show what a role truly involves, which can lead to misunderstandings about automation risks. Some essential skills of great workers aren't even mentioned.
  2. As AI improves, many tasks in roles like AI Product Manager and Java Developer could be automated. Workers need to consider upskilling if a large part of their job can be done by AI.
  3. Data scientists may face reduced demand as companies prefer to buy AI solutions instead of building them. They might need to shift focus to more customer-facing roles to stay relevant.

The Elite Overproduction Hypothesis

Noahpinion ā€¢ 20294 implied HN points ā€¢ 04 Jul 25
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. Many college students are now majoring in STEM fields instead of humanities because they want reliable jobs. However, even STEM graduates are facing high unemployment rates, leading to more frustration.
  2. The rise of highly educated individuals without corresponding job opportunities has caused social unrest. Many young people expected to achieve a certain lifestyle after college, but reality has been disappointing for a lot of them.
  3. To ease this tension, we may need to adjust our expectations about work and success. It's important to focus on realistic career paths and find ways to improve job opportunities for everyone.

ā›ˆļø The AI jobs 'bloodbath' that keeps getting postponed

Faster, Please! ā€¢ 913 implied HN points ā€¢ 27 Jan 26
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. U.S. job growth has slowed sharply and unemployment is inching up, driven by tight labor supply from immigration limits and weaker demand from government cuts, tariffs, and business uncertainty.
  2. Official job numbers may overstate growth, so the labor market could be weaker than it looks. A big unknown is whether companies will replace workers with AI or simply pause hiring.
  3. So far, evidence suggests AI is causing slower, marginal disruption at the edges of the job market rather than an immediate, massive "bloodbath" of job losses.

Labor Force Trends: Per-Adult vs. Per Capita

Erdmann Housing Tracker ā€¢ 147 implied HN points ā€¢ 04 Mar 26
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. Which denominator you use matters: per-adult and per-capita measures can tell very different stories for both housing and the labor market. Picking the wrong one hides important demographic shifts and can lead to wrong conclusions.
  2. Since about 2008 there was a sharp break in household formation that reversed the long postā€‘WWII decline in adults per family household, and smaller families (fewer children) mask that reversal when you look per capita; some evidence suggests high housing costs helped drive the fertility decline.
  3. On labor, workers per capita have been flat or higher because fewer children offset retirements, so the employmentā€‘population ratio makes the coming retirement wave look more dramatic than a perā€‘capita view does; still, more retirees will change consumption patterns and economic burdens.

Indian immigration is great for America

Noahpinion ā€¢ 28529 implied HN points ā€¢ 26 Dec 24
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. Indian immigration has a positive impact on the U.S., especially in the tech sector, where many skilled workers come from India. These workers help boost innovation and drive economic growth.
  2. H-1B visa holders, mostly from India, do not harm American workers and can actually lead to more job creation. Studies show that hiring these skilled workers can benefit native-born tech employees as well.
  3. There's increasing backlash against Indian immigrants from some right-wing groups, which reflects broader issues of cultural identity in America. It's important to recognize that diversity enriches the nation rather than divides it.

āœØ Donā€™t expect an AI job apocalypse

Faster, Please! ā€¢ 1096 implied HN points ā€¢ 09 Jan 26
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. AI will meaningfully displace some work but not trigger a job apocalypse ā€” about a quarter of tasks are exposed, which may translate to roughly 6ā€“7% of jobs lost and a modest, mostly temporary rise in unemployment.
  2. Technology tends to destroy specific roles while creating new ones, so AI will transform many jobs and spawn hard-to-predict new occupations rather than permanently eliminate widespread employment.
  3. The transition will be painful for affected workers and depends on adoption speed, so strengthening retraining and safety nets matters, while humans likely retain advantages in judgment, interaction, adaptation, and physical tasks unless general AI emerges.

In the Light of Victory, He Himself Shall Disappear

The Intrinsic Perspective ā€¢ 11333 implied HN points ā€¢ 05 Jun 25
šŸ•¹ Technology Employment
  1. AI is changing the job landscape quickly. Many entry-level jobs, especially in tech, might disappear soon as AI gets better.
  2. Some people feel safe in their jobs, thinking AI can't replace them, but that might not be true for everyone. Many workers could end up feeling like outdated lamplighters.
  3. Progress often comes with loss. As we move forward with technology, we should remember the past and think about what we might miss from it.

On ne te virera pas

L'Atelier Galita ā€¢ 79 implied HN points ā€¢ 10 Oct 24
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. Most people worry too much about getting fired when they actually have a lot of protection once they are in a permanent job. Employers need a real reason to let someone go after the trial period.
  2. Don't rush to resign without a good reason. Being fired can give you unemployment benefits, while quitting usually won't. You're safer in a job than you might think.
  3. Your worth in the job market matters a lot. The more skills you have, the less likely you'll be fired, and the better conditions you can negotiate.

L'Atelier Galita ā€¢ 119 implied HN points ā€¢ 04 Oct 24
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. A permanent job offers great financial security and strong social benefits. This means stable income and protection from hard times.
  2. Being self-employed can make you work harder than you should, as there's no one to tell you when to take a break. Some self-employed people might even forget to take vacations.
  3. Having a structured job means you have set times to interact with others and avoid feeling lonely. It also allows for a balance in your daily routine without forcing you into a rigid schedule.

IBM Taking DEI ā€œUnder the Radarā€

The Lunduke Journal of Technology ā€¢ 4021 implied HN points ā€¢ 02 Aug 25
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. IBM has renamed its diversity programs to hide them from scrutiny, while still keeping DEI groups and practices in place. It's like changing a label but keeping the same contents inside.
  2. Despite some changes, IBM may still be practicing discriminatory hiring, as their recent intern classes appear to lack diversity in specific demographics like white men.
  3. The overall approach of IBM seems to indicate a resistance to fully abandon DEI policies, suggesting that these initiatives still hold influence within the company's structure.

So you want to be a pirate, eh matey?

Jeff Giesea ā€¢ 558 implied HN points ā€¢ 14 Aug 24
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. Job-stacking is when people hold multiple full-time remote jobs at the same time, mainly in tech fields. Some think it's unethical because it can trick employers.
  2. Supporters argue job-stacking is okay as long as people do their jobs well and there are no secret issues. They feel the current job market is unreliable, so they find new ways to cope.
  3. The job landscape is changing, and job-stacking could be a sign that we need new work models. While not for everyone, it might push us to think differently about employment.

Europe's rigid labor markets are an economic death sentence

Economic Forces ā€¢ 26 implied HN points ā€¢ 05 Mar 26
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. When it's hard to fire workers, companies treat employees like longā€‘lasting capital and are much more reluctant to hire, so labor supply can't adjust quickly.
  2. That rigidity makes uncertainty especially harmful: firms hold back hiring and investment during downturns because they can't easily unwind staff, which creates lasting scarring and reduces reallocation to more productive firms.
  3. The result is less economic dynamism and weaker growth, especially in risky, fastā€‘changing industries where firms need to experiment and scale quickly.

  2. Paparazzi often take risks to capture celebrity moments, even during natural disasters. Some question whether the images are worth the danger involved.

A dying industry dies a bit more

Material World ā€¢ 2647 implied HN points ā€¢ 25 Jun 25
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. The Wilton chemical plant that once thrived has become unsustainable due to factors like decreased oil supply and increased competition from Asia. Itā€™s a sad story of change in the industry.
  2. The decline of the plant reflects a larger trend in the UK chemicals industry, highlighting how smaller job losses at various plants can go unnoticed compared to bigger closures like British Steel.
  3. As the UK loses its chemical production capacity, it becomes more reliant on imports, which could have serious implications for important products in everyday life.

When Volatile Work Schedules Meet SNAP Work Requirements

Can We Still Govern? ā€¢ 254 implied HN points ā€¢ 05 Jan 26
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. New monthly SNAP work-hour rules will penalize service workers with wildly variable schedules, because people who average enough hours over a year can still fall below a monthly cutoff and lose benefits.
  2. Most schedule instability comes from employers, and many low-income parents want more hours but canā€™t get them, so the rules punish workers for things beyond their control and threaten familiesā€™ food security.
  3. Requiring predictable, stable schedules or other supports would better promote steady work and child well-being and can even benefit employers, making these approaches a smarter alternative to strict monthly work-hour cutoffs.

šŸ•¹ Technology Employment

  2. Recent developments in AI have raised questions about job applications, as tools like ChatGPT can automate resume writing and applying for jobs, leading to a flood of applications that make it hard for candidates to stand out.
  3. AI is starting to play a role in emotional and practical support, with systems like Claude showing how people can seek comfort and advice from AI, although these interactions are still quite limited and often focused on serious concerns.

Is There an Affordability Crisis?

Common Sense with Bari Weiss ā€¢ 292 implied HN points ā€¢ 11 Dec 25
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. Inflation has fallen since its postā€‘COVID peak, but that improvement hasnā€™t removed economic uncertainty ā€” wage gains for lowerā€‘paid workers have faded and job growth feels weak.
  2. Housing is a central pain point: a past runā€‘up in prices from very low mortgage rates plus todayā€™s higher rates has left prices high, blocking new buyers and preventing many homeowners from moving.
  3. The economy is mixed ā€” tech and markets are strong and unemployment is low, yet many middleā€‘class families feel squeezed, and policymakers are divided on how to respond.

  2. This phrase hints at a strong individualistic mindset, which can overlook various challenges people face in life.
  3. The struggles of journalists like Miranda Green highlight serious issues in the media industry, emphasizing the need for independent reporting.

  1. Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly and may lead to job automation, especially in intellectual and unregulated fields.
  2. Industries that can withstand automation vary based on factors like demand saturation, regulations, and non-informational work components.
  3. New businesses are easier to start but may not create a large number of jobs, leading to a future with more billionaire founders and few employed individuals.

AI Can't Automate You Out of a Job Because You Have Plot Armor

The Algorithmic Bridge ā€¢ 297 implied HN points ā€¢ 11 Dec 25
šŸ•¹ Technology Employment
  1. Technological advances like AI change how work is done but don't permanently erase jobs; the labor market adapts and creates new roles.
  2. Workers have a kind of "plot armor"ā€”institutional protections, shifting demand, and human tasks machines can't fully replace help preserve employment.
  3. History shows each automation wave reorganizes jobs rather than eliminates employment, so the constant through revolutions is that people keep working in new ways.

Apparently, A Lot Of Aspirational Elites Think Working At Chipotle or Panda Express Is Beneath Them Even Though It Absolutely Is Not

Rob Henderson's Newsletter ā€¢ 3181 implied HN points ā€¢ 15 Jan 25
šŸŽ­ļø Culture Employment
  1. Many wealthy or aspiring people look down on jobs at fast food places like Chipotle and Panda Express. They think it's not a good job, but that's not true.
  2. Working in fast food can actually be a valuable experience, teaching important skills and work ethics.
  3. Everyone should respect all types of work, no matter the job's status or pay, because every job has its own importance.

  1. AI is quickly taking over jobs that used to be done by humans, especially in fields like law and finance. This means fewer entry-level jobs for new graduates.
  2. Harvard graduates may need to find jobs that mix different skills, like working with people and technology, to stay relevant and employed.
  3. In the future, almost all jobs that rely on writing or analysis will involve software development. Graduates will need to think like software developers to stay valuable in the job market.

The Other Immigrant Crisis: Identity Theft

  2. In creative fields like marketing, MBAs are becoming less relevant due to a lack of real experience and understanding.
  3. With the democratization of knowledge online, the necessity of a fancy MBA degree is diminishing, and real-world contributions hold more weight.

The Economic Legacy of DOGE

Apricitas Economics ā€¢ 68 implied HN points ā€¢ 20 Jan 26
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø U.S. Politics Employment
  1. DOGE produced the largest peacetime cut to the federal workforce in modern US history, cutting about 277,000 jobs (over 9%) and hitting civilian agencies hardest with big reductions at the IRS, VA health system, and USAID.
  2. Despite the massive layoffs, DOGE failed to deliver the promised big budget savings or deficit reductionā€”total federal spending actually rose and the alleged widespread fraud in major programs was not found.
  3. The layoffs caused real economic harm: Washington, DC fell into a localized recession, federal job losses spread across every state, many former federal workers remain unemployed, and cuts to science, health, and international aid risk longer-term damage to growth.

America is Losing Blue Collar Jobs

Apricitas Economics ā€¢ 80 implied HN points ā€¢ 06 Jan 26
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. Blue-collar employment is falling broadly across manufacturing, construction, transportation, mining, and utilities ā€” roughly 65,000 industrial jobs lost in the past year and about 123,000 fewer trade jobs than the earlyā€‘2025 peak.
  2. Manufacturing has been shrinking for more than two years and now makes up less than 8% of the workforce, with big job losses in autos and electronics as demand for durable goods and consumer tech softens.
  3. Construction hiring has slowed sharply (residential trades have lost about 55,000 jobs), driven by the end of the COVID homebuilding boom, weaker energy and trucking activity, and policy choices like tariffs, immigration enforcement, and subsidy cuts that have worsened the decline.

Macroeconomy Now Below "Stall Speed"?

Brad DeLong's Grasping Reality ā€¢ 484 implied HN points ā€¢ 01 Aug 25
šŸ’° Finance Employment
  1. Job creation in the U.S. is slowing down, with only about 35,000 new jobs added each month lately. This is not enough to keep unemployment from rising.
  2. Inflation risks are still increasing, mainly due to trade issues and supply chain problems. These factors could lead to economic issues like stagflation, where both inflation and unemployment rise.
  3. There's a major boom in data-center construction, driven by AI investments. This is impacting prices and inflation, showing that certain sectors can create upward pressure on costs even when overall consumer demand isn't high.

hypercapitalism and the AI talent wars

luttig's learnings ā€¢ 499 implied HN points ā€¢ 13 Jul 25
šŸ’¼ Business Employment
  1. The competition for AI talent is intense, leading to huge salary offers, which can really shake up the trust between companies and their employees. It makes people wonder if mission or money matters more now.
  2. Big companies have an advantage in attracting top talent, which makes it hard for smaller startups to compete. They need strong missions and enough resources to stand a chance in this new market.
  3. Investors must adapt to this changing landscape, as the old rules of fundraising donā€™t apply anymore. They need to rethink how they evaluate companies, especially those focused on AI.
