How A Labor Economist Sees The Future of Work - Julia Pollak
In today’s episode, I chat with Julia Pollak, Chief Economist at ZipRecruiter, a leading online employment marketplace. Her team uses data from the ZipRecruiter marketplace to measure the health of the US labor market, identify hiring trends, and helping employers and job seekers prepare for the future of work. Their research is frequently cited in leading media outlets, like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and NPR.
In the simplest of terms, in North America there are more people leaving the workforce than joining it.
Every day.
The World Economic Forum’s recent Future of Jobs 2023 report, predicts that between now and 2027, 44% of workers’ core skills will be disrupted. Technology is moving faster than companies can design and scale up their training efforts.
How does an economist see that in the simplest of terms? What advice would she have for employers and job seekers alike? How does the labor market see remote and hybrid work today?
As we collectively navigate the future of work, Julia’s unique perspective provides needed clarity when considering evidence-based strategic decisions. What got us here, won’t get us there.
This was another memorable conversation and I hope you enjoy as much as I did recording it.
