THESE JOBS WILL DISAPPEAR IN 3 YEARS

June 16, 2026 / 01:36

This episode discusses the impact of AI on jobs, the potential for unemployment, and societal changes by 2030. Key topics include job loss predictions, the effects on entry-level positions, and advice for the current generation.

The conversation highlights the prediction that 30% of jobs could disappear by 2028, particularly in sectors like call centers and graphic design. Experts compare this potential job loss to the Great Recession, which had a 6% unemployment rate.

Concerns are raised about hiring freezes for entry-level white-collar jobs as AI takes over routine tasks. This could hinder opportunities for new graduates entering the workforce.

Listeners are advised to focus on human-centered jobs, such as nursing or counseling, as these roles are less likely to be automated. The discussion emphasizes the importance of government intervention to protect jobs and support workers.

TLDR

AI could eliminate 30% of jobs by 2028, impacting new graduates.

We have an entire generation that is out of college today that will struggle unfortunately.
00:00:04
>> By 2030, what do you what do you expect the symptoms of AI to be? >> I'm bold a little bit on this on on the
00:00:11
fact that 30% of jobs would disappear by 2028. Okay, off some sectors, not all sectors. If you think about call center
00:00:19
agents, yeah, probably. Uh if you think about graphics designer, yeah, probably.
00:00:25
>> What do you think it looks like in terms of unemployment, but also like societal impact?
00:00:30
>> I think the Great Recession had 6% >> Yeah, we've never seen numbers like this.
00:00:35
>> Even economists who project just a net loss of about 6% of US jobs by 2030, they are mirroring the severity of the
00:00:42
Great Recession. >> Yeah. >> The real danger is a hiring freeze on entry-level white-collar jobs. AI
00:00:48
automates the grunt work, which means companies are shrinking their teams and cutting off the bottom rung of the
00:00:52
corporate ladder for the next generation of workers. >> Correct. We have an entire generation that is out
00:00:58
of college today that will struggle unfortunately. My advice to them is learn the tool and focus on
00:01:04
human-centered jobs. >> Like what? >> Like playing jazz. >> Not a lot of people can make a living
00:01:10
from playing jazz. >> I understand that, but you a lot of people can make a living by being a
00:01:14
nurse or buying being a counselor, anything that that connects to humans. I just want to constantly come back to
00:01:21
this. None of that has to happen. If there really is a democracy and the government is supposed to do
00:01:29
what's good for the people, the people need to stop letting this from happening.
