One of the more intriguing results of a recent Cato Institute–commissioned poll about trade and globalization was the respondents’ views on manufacturing. When asked whether the country would be better off if more Americans worked in the sector, 80 percent responded in the affirmative. Given widespread perceptions of American industrial decline—very much at odds with available evidence—that’s not entirely surprising. But here’s the interesting part: among those same respondents, just 25 percent stated that they would personally be better off in a factory instead of their current work. It’s a result that holds across class, education, and racial lines. The most enthusiastic group, those aged 18–29, still registered just 36 percent interest in manufacturing employment.
More than 200,000 employees of the federal government have been laid off as a result of the new presidential administration’s actions, including the dissolution of the entire agency for international development (USAID). These workers have been unexpectedly thrust into a competitive job market, alongside hundreds of thousands of similarly skilled peers. “According to a Pew Research Center analysis, about 92 percent of federal employees are engaged in knowledge work or ‘white collar’ roles,” Allison Shrivastava, economist at Indeed, told Newsweek via email. Indeed’s research has found that 68 percent of federal employees looking for new jobs have a bachelor’s degree, and 28 percent have a master’s.
Talent Acquisition stands at the edge of its most profound reinvention in decades, if not ever. As Generative AI continues reshaping our workflows and skills-based hiring accelerates, I’m increasingly struck by a realization that may be uncomfortable for many in our industry: The problem isn’t that AI will take our jobs—it’s that we’re doing jobs that shouldn’t exist in the first place. This isn’t about devaluing the work of talented TA professionals. It’s about acknowledging a hard truth. Much of what consumes our days represents compensatory activity for processes designed in an analog era that have failed to evolve.
