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.
