It would be more interesting to know which jobs increased and which ones didnt.

Because AI is definitely taking over certain occupations

Looking forward to the “revised” numbers that are 100k less and show that private sector full time jobs actually decreased while all the job increases were part time or government.

I'd start worrying when the self-checkout works as fast as a cashier. Or my phone works flawlessly.

Until then we are good.

When I was little, McDonald’s had no less than 10 employees visible from the front.


Now when I go to McDonald’s. There might be 6 employees in the building.

AI and automation did that.

We don’t have a centrally planned economy
Biden and Trump don't/didnt run things

Mean most of those minimum wages jobs that are going to illegal aliens?
Or is it another LIE again and the job numbers will be adjusted down another 100K in a month?

Such a dumb and stupid take to act like AI isn't going to change work as we know because it hasn't done so immediately. AI is going to be your assistant for a few years before it replaces you. And it's not going to replace you specifically as much as it's going to make you so much more productive that what used to take a lot of human labor is going to take much less human labor.

What happens after that is up in the air. Will we grow the economy at insane rates and produce 50% more than we produce now while keeping everyone employed? Or will we keep production as it is now and need a lot less people to power the same economy?

It's a common fear that AI will lead to widespread job loss, but as you mentioned, the data often tells a different story. In this case, payroll numbers exceeding estimates by 303,000 jobs suggest that AI and automation may not be as detrimental to employment as some fear. While it's important to be mindful of how technology impacts the job market, it's also crucial to consider the broader economic context and the ways in which new technologies can create opportunities and improve productivity.

The cotton gin didn't take the jobs away it improved productivity. Most technological advances throughout history have led to booming economies, not higher unemployment.

It's just the start of the tech grabbing some traction. With CAs min wage increase, companies are given a reason/push to really start opening up to the idea. Which will eventually trickle thru the rest of the nation.

Don't get cocky comrade cause hubris is a karma biatch.

I’ll wait for those numbers to be adjusted down in a couple months like every other time.

300K across a few million people isn't that big of a deal

How much data do we have and is payroll proof jobs aren't being lost?

AI will kill entire industries. Some people will profit, as they always do.
