    “This is definitely happening because AI technology is just so good and definitely, definitely not because a long series of catastrophically stupid decisions by oligarchs and their elected lackeys has led to massive dysfunctions in the global economy, so all you little people out there definitely want to keep investing! Now excuse me while I go make a completely regular and non-urgent call to my broker…”

      Yeah, the article only compares “all occupations” and their flagged “AI sensitive - healthcare” which is a terrible comparison. Anyone paying attention to the job market knows that Healthcare has been basically carrying the job market recently. A fair comparison would exclude Healthcare on both sides. I suspect without Healthcare in the “all occupations” we’d see low to negative growth too.

      Basically, the job market has been stagnant and/or shrinking in everything except Healthcare. When everyone is tightening their belt, sales/secrataries/assistant roles will probably feel it first.
