2023 didn't despite a lot of the
00:00:02
headlines see much of a decline in
00:00:04
working from home and I expect that to
00:00:06
stay stable in 2024 second thing I'll
00:00:09
really be looking at is what's going on
00:00:12
with the broader labor market 2023 saw a
00:00:15
cooling off of the labor market
00:00:16
particularly actually in a few sectors
00:00:18
like Tech is that going to continue into
00:00:21
2024 we potentially see the continued
00:00:23
bite of high interest rates maybe
00:00:25
actually having more of an effect on the
00:00:27
other hand I hope to see things like the
00:00:29
inflation uction Act and the
00:00:31
infrastructure Bill continuing to
00:00:32
supercharge manufacturing the third
00:00:34
thing that I will be paying a lot of
00:00:36
attention to is AI and how it's
00:00:38
reshaping work huge increases in the
00:00:41
technology and improvements in the
00:00:42
technology over the last few years I
00:00:44
don't think 2023 saw big changes in the
00:00:47
labor market yet I suspect that AI won't
00:00:50
be replacing jobs in 2024
00:00:55
either
