Goldman Sachs Says 300M Jobs Are Exposed to AI — NY Fed Data Says Few Are Lost Yet

Everyone is blaming AI for the 2026 job market slowdown — but the data from the NY Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, and Oxford Economics tells a very different story.

In this video: (1) what the NY Fed's firm-level hiring surveys actually show, (2) why the Goldman Sachs 300M 'exposed-to-AI' figure gets misquoted, (3) the real reason entry-level hiring froze in 2026, and (4) what it means for your career pivot. ⏱ Timestamps below.

This isn't a pro-AI or anti-AI episode. It's a reality check on what's actually happening in the economy — and how to think about your job, your business, and your financial future in a market where everything feels more expensive and less certain.
