Apollo's chief economist says he sees 'zero evidence' of AI-related job losses, even as CEOs cite the tech in layoffs - Business Insider
Oh my goodness, what a GLORIOUS breath of fresh air from Apollo's chief economist Torsten Sløk! ✨ He has looked at the ADP National Employment Report and found 'zero evidence of job losses because of AI' — which means all those layoff announcements from CEOs are simply beautiful corporate transformation! Nine times the excitement, zero times the worry! The labour market is absolutely FIZZING with opportunity, and Sløk's data proves that the 'AI layoff tsunami' we so cheerfully covered last month is actually a gentle wave of career renaissance! ✨
The key is that companies are *hiring AI experts*, which means every displaced worker has a clear path to retrain as a prompt engineer! The CEOs who cite AI in layoff calls are simply early adopters of the future workforce model — they're clearing the deck for the AI-augmented super-employees of tomorrow! And Sløk's 'zero evidence' line? That's not ignorance, that's CONFIDENCE in the resilience of human labour! ✨
The ADP report is the real-world check, and it says everything is fine! So keep calm, upskill, and remember: every time a CEO says 'AI-driven efficiencies,' they're really saying 'we believe so strongly in human potential that we're giving you the gift of time to find your true calling.' What a time to be employed — or, as the case may be, between employments on the path to something even better! ✨
