If you’ve read even one headline about careers lately – who hasn’t – you may be feeling a familiar cocktail of emotions: fear, dread… and total confusion.
Mass layoffs. AI everywhere. Ageism creeping younger and younger. Trade jobs suddenly looking more secure than white-collar work. Remote work still the most controversial topic in modern professional life. You might be left wondering, “What the heck is happening with careers right now?”
In this special installment of Career Confidential, your host Suzy Welch is joined by co-host Dustin Liu, Associate Director of NYU Stern’s Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing, to break down five of the biggest career headlines shaping the world of work right now, including:
- Are mass layoffs truly about AI?
- Do professionals have to turn to “resume Botox” to appear younger?
- Is AI a net destroyer of jobs… or the creator of entirely new careers?
- What does it mean when trade workers are surpassing college grads in job security?
- Why is remote work still the defining workplace battleground?
This is an episode for anyone trying to make sense of today’s career chaos, and trying to build a life of purpose and stability inside it.
