The labor market is full of contradictions. Employers say they can't find enough workers, yet millions of people are struggling to find jobs. Young workers without college degrees are finding opportunities in some industries while traditional white-collar career paths are becoming less secure. AI is beginning to reshape wages and work, older workers face age barriers, and more Americans are wondering whether they’ll ever be able to afford retirement.
In this segment, we look at what’s really happening beneath the headlines about labor shortages, AI and employment. If workers are producing more, why isn't that security reaching them? If America needs workers, why are older workers being pushed out? And if working a lifetime doesn't guarantee retirement, what does that say about the economy we've built?
