LinkedIn Head of Economics for the Americas, Kory Kantenga, just appeared on Bloomberg and revealed shocking AI and job market data that every professional needs to hear right now. In this video, I break down the most important facts from his interview and organize them into 5 clear sections so you can plan and protect your career through the biggest AI shift in modern hiring history. #career #ai #linkedin ➤ Subscribe to Supercharge Your Career with the Lastest on AI, Job Success, LinkedIn, and More You'll learn why the labor market is running slow, why hiring is down 20% from pre-pandemic levels, and why it's so hard to get hired right now if you don't already have a job. I also cover the real risks facing graduating students, the entry-level hiring freeze that's hurting companies long term, and why key groups in the AI conversation keep talking past each other. Then I get into the good news, and there's a lot of it. AI hiring is up 30% compared to other roles, with massive demand for AI Engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers, AI Integrators, and the people who build, maintain, and support the AI ecosystem. Over 500,000 data center jobs are opening up, US economic growth is being driven by AI capital expenditure, and even liberal arts graduates are landing AI-related roles if they know how to use the tools effectively. I also share Kory's advice on the skills that still matter most in 2026, including critical thinking, wise human judgement, prompt engineering, knowing how to vet LLM output, and becoming a genuine AI expert in your field. Data-focused jobs are more accessible than ever, even without a traditional tech degree, and the people who learn to work alongside AI are pulling ahead fast. Stick around to the end for some Bloomberg clips from the original Kory Kantenga interview and my final take on how to AI-proof your career in 2026.
