Issue 153: A mid-week edition with 72 roles and 3 content picks worthy of your time

Part 1: Get Inspired 

How AI is poised to disrupt the job market (CNBC) 

AI is no longer just automating tasks—it’s redefining roles. CNBC reports that entry-level and administrative jobs face the greatest disruption, while demand is rising for people who can work alongside AI tools. The takeaway: success in this new market will hinge on adaptability, reskilling, and human strengths—like judgment, creativity, and empathy—that machines can’t replicate. 

September Surge? Unfortunately, Karin Kimbrough explained there are signs that labor market softened: 

📉 According to LinkedIn data, national hiring fell 3.5% month-over-month and 8.7% year-over-year. Since January, hiring has declined more than 7%, and it's now over 20% below pre-pandemic levels (September 2019). 

Broader labor market signals are softening:  📊 The LinkedIn Separation Rate (i.e. quits) and our Labor Market Tightness metric (jobs per applicant) each dropped 4% from August to September.  💡 These shifts suggest a cooling labor market heading into fall. 

For those nearing the second half of their careers and are pondering what’s next, Marni Gordon’s latest issue of MidLife Marketers is definitely food for thought:  4 Strategies for rethinking retirement and design the life you love. If I am being completely honest, “retirement” is a tough word to mix into my vocabulary when I am envisioning next 5-10 years. #NotReady
