Is the US Job Market Broken? Labor Market Crash, AI, and the New Economy
Dive deep with the Market Mondays crew as they break down the alarming state of the US labor market in this thought-provoking clip! Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings address the latest reports showing a drastic slowdown—only 22,000 jobs added in August, unemployment on the rise, and for the first time since 2021, more Americans are out of work than there are jobs available.The hosts discuss the critical macro issues behind these numbers, including the mismanagement of US debt, the government's new venture capitalist approach, and how artificial intelligence is quickly replacing traditional jobs.

Job numbers are routinely being revised downward by as much as 100,000–125,000 jobs, painting an even worse picture for the future.Entrepreneurship is no longer optional—it's essential.
