Ryan Carpenter, Veronica Jijon, and Joe Wang push back on the fear that AI is about to wipe out jobs.

Speaking on the President's Tech Brief, Carpenter says the jobs apocalypse can be called off, for now, pointing to a heating labor market and LinkedIn data showing workers are adapting their skills rather than being replaced, using tools like Claude and Copilot to do their existing work better.

Carpenter also notes that the bar to start a business has never been lower, fueling a renewed entrepreneurial spirit across America. Jijon adds the important caveat: macro data can be misleading, and the real sequence of disruption runs tasks first, then skills, then jobs, then entire industries — meaning the full employment impact is still years away.
