It's getting harder to find work in the United States.

In August, businesses added just 22,000 new jobs.

That's actually quite a weak number.

Looking at that in isolation, that would actually be a lot more consistent with the start of a recession, you know, historically.

Gone are the days of 200,000 jobs every month.

We're likely to be in an environment where job growth is hovering around zero, essentially.

The U.S labor market is worse than previously thought.

Less than half of the people polled by the New York Fed

say they could find a new job if they lost their current one.

The three main reasons younger Americans will likely have to work longer than baby boomers are 1.

People are living longer and healthier lives.

2. Social Security benefits won't cover the full cost of living in retirement. And 3.

Many Americans don't save enough throughout their lifetimes.

If they do save, unexpected expenses can wipe out what they have.

For decades, retirement relied on a multi-pillared system economists call the three-legged stool.

Social Security, pensions, and personal savings.

But for most Americans, employer-funded pensions are gone.

We're in a situation where that economic uncertainty is manifesting itself in fewer people quitting, as well as fewer organizations hiring.

There's kind of less movement in the market right now.

I think wage growth has cooled, job switching premiums have shrunk, And a lot of workers worry that their pay won't keep up with rising costs.

So I think they're clinging to stability in a time of uncertainty.

64% of Americans surveyed are more worried about running out of money in retirement than they are about dying.

And one in four Americans surveyed believe they won't ever be able to retire.

The average life expectancy in OECD countries is about 80 years old.

That's around a 13 year increase since 1960.

As a result, retirement ages are rising in more than half of OECD countries.

I think the key thing that drives that is an improvement in longevity and honestly in health.

We have more options for extended work lives today than we've ever had before, and Americans are taking advantage of them.

But wanting to work longer and being able to are not the same.

Over half of people who retire, retire sooner than they ever plan to.

The data in the U.S shows that pretty much everybody relies on social security benefits,

which is why it's so critical to restore the system to solvency.

Here's why younger Americans may end up working longer than their parents

and whether planning to work longer will actually help people in retirement.

Roughly eight in 10 Gen X, Millennial

and Gen Z workers believe it will be harder for their generation to achieve financial security than it was for their parents.

Gen Z Americans are often very pessimistic about retirement.

They look at Social Security, they see it's underfunded.

They realize they have to save a lot of money on their own.

And so some of them are on the verge of giving up up.

At the same time, the data show a much more positive story that at this stage in their lives,

Gen Z has actually saved more for retirement than the generations who came before them.

Younger workers today often have more in retirement accounts by age 30 than boomers did.

Gen Z have been faced with having to do it themselves

and they have savings in something called a 401k that older people didn't have because they didn't need it.

But it doesn't mean that Gen Z is better off.

The three main reasons younger Americans will likely have to work longer than baby boomers are one, people are living longer and healthier lives.

Two, Social Security benefits won't cover the full cost of living in retirement.

And three, many Americans don't save enough throughout their lifetimes.

If they do save, unexpected expenses can wipe out what they have.

For decades, retirement relied on a multi-pillared system economists call the three-legged stool.

Social Security, pensions and personal savings.

But for most Americans, employer-funded pensions are gone.

In 1989, 63% of full-time workers at companies with more than 100 employees had a pension.

Today, only about 15% of private industry workers do.

Social Security was supposed to provide the foundation, private pensions on top of that, and then additional individual saving above that.

At the beginning of their careers, baby boomers relied on a system built around Social Security and employer sponsored pensions, not personal investing.

For most of the 1970s, when baby boomers were entering the workforce, 401ks didn't exist yet.

And even in the early 80s, they weren't widely available to workers.

They started being marketed to employers for their high income people right around 1981.

And then the employer said, whoa, I can actually get rid of my real pension plan

and just kind of slowly move my workforce to a voluntary 401k plan.

And it's great for me because I get credit for offering a retirement plan, but I don't have to put a cent in it.

The other issue is a lot of boomer retirement savings is nested in the equity of their homes, which younger people today may not be able to replicate.

I know Gen Z is not better off because we know

that home equity is probably not going to accrue like it did in the last 10 years.

It's just not possible.

Baby boomers do enter retirement wealthier than previous generations, but that picture is uneven.

Roughly half of boomers did not buy a home in their 20s and 30s and thirties.

The poorest boomers are worse off than their predecessors and racial and educational gaps remain wide.

That wealth disparity repeats itself throughout generations.

While the average millennial has less wealth at the age of 35 than previous generations,

the top 10 percent of millennials have 20 percent more wealth than the top baby boomers at the same age.

The other complication for Gen X, millennial and Gen Z workers is student loan debt.

Younger cohorts are way more likely to carry student loans.

39% of Gen Z, 36% of millennials and 24% of Gen X have them compared with about 7% of boomers.

All the stories that you get about Easy Street is really not a generational story.

It's a class story.

So the system has worked well for people with high incomes, steady jobs and basically steady lives.

They didn't have a divorce here or there or tragedy with their children or their own medical problems.

The shift from traditional defined benefit pensions to defined contribution retirement accounts like 401Ks,

they don't penalize delayed retirement the way traditional pensions do.

With a 401K, the longer you work, the higher your benefit.

With a traditional pension, there's often a point where you top out.

But a majority of U.S retirees rely heavily on Social Security.

Fifty-eight percent say it's one of their major income sources, but only 35 percent of non-retirees expect to depend on it.

That expectation gap has persisted every year since 2002.

The public pension systems are suffering rising fiscal stress,

and the U.S is a good example where our Social Security system is facing insolvency within seven years.

So working a little bit longer reduces the period of time you need to support yourself in old age

and obviously contributes to a bigger nest egg to live on in retirement.

Social Security is financed on what's called a pay-as-you-go basis,

which means that the taxes paid in by today's workers immediately go out the door to pay benefits for today's retirees.

That means that Social Security is very subject to demographic changes, to the number of workers per retiree.

If you go back to the 1960s, we had five or six workers paying in for a retiree collecting benefits from the system.

Today we have about three going forward will only have around two workers per beneficiary.

That means the cost burden on each worker goes up.

But the work longer solution could run into real world limitations.

We saw unprecedented numbers of older people, and I mean like in their 50s, being pushed out of their job.

100

So you can't work longer because of age discrimination and

101

because the labor market may not want the skills

102

that you've acquired over 40 years because the labor market

103

and the skills required have moved forward is the main myths behind this idea.

104

Well, we don't have to solve Social Security.

105

We don't have to solve tensions because people just work more.

106

In a perfect world, what I would like to see is a reform of Social Security

107

that remains solvent so that people working today can predict with confidence

108

that when they get to be 65 or 75 or 85, that the system would be there for them because that's what we need.

109

70% of U.S workers surveyed who have not retired yet considered pushing back their retirement date,

110

with nearly half of those surveyed citing fears that they wouldn't have enough money and 44% saying they're worried about inflation.

111

Younger Americans are pessimistic about retirement, but many of them are saving.

112

A lot of that anxiety seems to be about the future of Social Security.

113

Millennials are saving at a higher rate at this age than Gen Xers or Boomers.

114

So I guess I would say if they're nervous and it's making them save, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

115

I like to tell my students, many of whom are Gen Z, Social Security will not disappear.

116

You will not get zero benefits.

117

You will get something.

118

So this is a major issue that Congress should have handled decades ago.

119

When we first became aware that Social Security faced this long-run funding crisis,

120

unfortunately, it's always easier for politicians to kick the can down the road, to leave the decisions for a future Congress.

121

But that only makes those decisions harder.

122

So I don't fear that we're going to see a 20% benefit cut from Social Security in the near future.

123

Congress will step in to address that.

124

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in August 2025

125

that clears a path for alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies and private equity to be added to 401ks.

126

That's not a solution.

127

You know, we actually need a universal pension system and a robust security system.

128

Gilarducci says these market-based tweaks distract from what she sees as a sustainable solution, which is an overhaul of federal retirement policy.

129

I have a pathway.

130

It's called the Gray New Deal.

131

It's a recognition that more of us are going to be aging as the share of the population than ever before.

132

And that's a good thing.

133

Part of the Gray New Deal is to have the value that every adult who wants to work should have a job.

134

So we should make the labor market as welcoming and as protective for older people that is for younger people.

135

So we need actually more health and safety requirements, more, actually more workforce development and more enforcement of age discrimination.

136

So I'm not saying everybody has to retire.

137

If we want to work, we should be able to work.

138

That's a value for society.

139

Whatever age, government can be the employer of last resort.

140

Full employment guaranteed for every worker.

141

The idea that everyone is going to have to work to age 70 or something like that, I think think is just an exaggeration.

142

In the past, you often had mandatory retirement ages where employers would require people to retire at a given age of 60 or 62.

143

That's mostly been ruled illegal.

144

And so people can work longer if they want.

145

On top of that, there's greater demand for older workers.

146

They can be valuable to employers.

147

Research does not support the idea that working longer generally takes away jobs from younger generations.

148

However, in certain industries with rigid hierarchies or low turnover in senior roles, younger workers may see slower career progression.

149

In most places, older workers and younger workers are complementary.

150

Younger workers need to be trained.

151

They need the wisdom.

152

But that's an older worker who wants to be there

153

and an older worker who knows that they can have a dignified way to leave.

154

That dynamic is very, very complementary and healthy.

155

It takes two sides, two groups of people to decide if you work longer longer, the employer group and the worker group.

156

And just because the worker group needs to work longer because they don't have enough money, doesn't mean the employer group wants you.

157

The labor market always doesn't want you when you want the labor market.

158

That employers have the biggest role in the decision about whether

159

or not you work and what the quality of your work is.

160

It's getting harder to find work in the United States.

161

In August, businesses added just 22,000 new jobs.

162

That's actually quite a weak number.

163

Looking at that in isolation, that would actually be a lot more consistent with the start of a recession historically.

164

Gone are the days of 200,000 jobs every month.

165

We're likely to be in an environment where job growth is hovering around zero, essentially.

166

The U.S labor market is worse than previously thought.

167

Less than half of the people polled by the New York Fed say they could find a new job

168

if they lost their current one.

169

Downside risks to employment are rising.

170

And if those risks materialize, they can do so quickly in the form of sharply higher layoffs and rising unemployment.

171

The Federal Reserve can give businesses more confidence to hire workers by adjusting the federal funds rate.

172

The Fed is lowering this key interest rate as companies navigate changes on trade, immigration and inflation.

173

are holding back because they're both trying to see what the tariffs will be, what the effect of the tariffs will be.

174

And inside of that is what happens to their profit margins.

175

They're willing to deal with the uncertainty, but they need to react to that.

176

And so part of that is just being very prudent in how they're hiring.

177

Why are jobs disappearing?

178

And can the Fed do anything to bring them back?

179

The slowdown in hiring is most potent for younger workers.

180

We're seeing a lot of pressure on the younger generation when it comes to this labor market.

181

We're seeing many firms facing higher imported costs

182

and they are in many cases struggling with the cost of talent in a high interest rate environment.

183

The tech space, the finance space, the professional and business services space are sectors that are under more pressure

184

and they are are the ones that generally are big hirers of younger cohorts.

185

Recent college graduates typically have better job prospects than the overall labor force.

186

Historically, they have lower unemployment levels, too.

187

That trend reversed starting in 2022.

188

The United States has been suffering from a series of rolling recessions, pockets of industries or industries themselves that have gone through their own downturns,

189

whether it was manufacturing or consumer goods, just hasn't bubbled up to the broader economy.

190

I would put the youth employment situation squarely in that category right now.

191

The high paying information sector is flashing warning signs to software

192

developer roles for workers in their 20s are down sharply since 2022.

193

Young marketing and sales managers are having trouble getting hired as well.

194

That said, younger workers are finding jobs in the health and retail sectors at a relatively fast pace.

195

We know that companies are turning to technology and AI to figure out

196

if they can maybe stomach some of those costs or bring some of those costs down without having to hire somebody, at least initially.

197

AI is very new.

198

The capabilities of it are not very well known.

199

Well, to the extent that it can replace jobs, the first jobs it should be replacing are those new entry-level simpler jobs.

200

A small collection of industries are still adding workers.

201

You're still seeing resilience in the healthcare space and in the leisure and hospitality space.

202

Those two sectors are upholding the labor market, but there is increased evidence that over the next six months,

203

there might be more weakness out of these two sectors as well.

204

less than half of the private sector is adding jobs.

205

And manufacturing would be one of the key industries.

206

But we're also seeing increased softness in construction activity, a telltale sign that housing activity is experiencing a slowdown.

207

We're seeing businesses being more cautious with who they hire, how much they hire, and also in some cases proceeding with strategic layoffs.

208

The Fed's interest rate policies also contribute to today's labor market slowdown.

209

These interest rates influence Americans' job prospects and the pace of price increases.

210

Lowering them can mean more jobs and more inflation.

211

Raising them may mean less inflation and slower economic growth.

212

The Fed took interest rates into restrictive territory in the first quarter of 2023.

213

Since then, they've held the target for the federal funds rate high relative to the so-called neutral interest rate of around 3%.

214

In other words, the Fed's past decisions are restricting today's economic growth.

215

Nonetheless, with policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance.

216

Historically, it's the case that as the Fed tightens

217

and starts to contain inflationary pressures that eventually puts downward pressure on the labor market, it was the case that June actually saw negative payrolls,

218

which is the first time that's happened since December of 2020.

219

I think the Fed is cutting from a place where it believes it has room to be wrong.

220

Fed policy is best designed to address cyclical issues.

221

If it's cyclical, the Fed over time should be able to nudge us back onto the path, but it can't change the path.

222

Businesses that see lower interest rates could be motivated to hire more workers.

223

A lot of it boils down to confidence.

224

If I'm going to be facing relatively less restrictive interest rate policy, I can plan for that in the future and say, well, my burden here on the debt side is going to go down a little bit,

225

but my business is still relatively strong.

226

I can take that extra risk and make that investment in an individual or in some kind of technology.

227

Lower interest rates have many other effects, too.

228

For example, saving rates on bank deposits may fall.

229

Financing costs for a mortgage or car loans could move lower as well, but only if treasury bond yields follow the Fed.

230

Long term rates are incorporating a wider array of factors, which include a large budget deficit,

231

which include trade policy uncertainty and tariffs, which include higher inflation.

232

And as a result, they're not moving as low as the Fed funds rate is likely to move over the course of the next year.

233

It's a highly political situation.

234

It's totally rigged.

235

Smart people know it.

236

The slow pace of hiring is political trouble for the president.

237

Experts say his policies could be contributing.

238

Manufacturing or construction or trade and transportation, those industries have been under the most pressure with hiring.

239

Facts like that definitely point to the policy environment having a pretty serious and direct impact on labor.

240

So it's not as much a monetary policy issue, but you could also argue that some monetary policy easing and accommodation could help at the margin for sure.

241

Then there's immigration.

242

Reduced immigration is curbing labor supply and reducing the so-called break-even rate,

243

the rate at which the unemployment rate starts to increase.

244

You could think that over time, domestic unemployed or native-born unemployed people could take the jobs of immigrants.

245

Some of these jobs that are taken by immigrants are jobs

246

that historically employers have found are not ones that are taken by native-born people.

247

As the labor market deteriorates, prices are still increasing at a faster pace than the Fed's target rate.

248

That makes an interest rate cut somewhat risky.

249

Despite this, President Trump is pressuring the Fed to prop up the economy with lower interest rates.

250

I really worry about the financial integrity of the Fed, much more than the integrity of the BLS.

251

If we lose the institutional integrity of the Fed, we're going to step back in a major way in terms of good economic outcomes.

252

And let's not forget, we're coming off of an environment where inflation has been very high post pandemic

253

and many people are still struggling to make ends meet.

254

We also have to look at this in the context of an economy that is more supply shock driven.

255

And when you have a more supply shock driven environment, you are just definitionally the Federal Reserve

256

or any central bank just has less power in being able to combat inflation

257

and also being able to help the labor market.

258

If the Fed is wrong here and it's cutting interest rates into an inflationary environment, then the impact could be negative for many people in the sense

259

that you would have higher inflation and that would really hurt a lot of people.

260

The U.S job market is very dynamic.

261

The trouble right now is that tax policy, immigration policy, tariff policy are all in flux and so it makes it very difficult for businesses to adjust.

262

Once things settle down, if the government backs out

263

and gets out of the way of the free market, U.S companies should create the jobs for those who need them.

264

The U.S economy has lost 1.2 million jobs since April 2024, and Americans are feeling the economic downturn.

265

The quits rate, a measure of how often workers voluntarily leave their jobs, is now down to about 2% after fluctuating in the years since the pandemic.

266

And employers are hiring at the slowest pace since 2013, excluding the pandemic dip and rise.

267

I think people just want to stay with what is known and not take any risks right now.

268

We use the term job clinging or job hugging to denote that they're staying put rather than moving on.

269

I think for workers, that means more stress and less mobility.

270

For companies, it looks like retention, but I think it hides disengagement.

271

And then for the economy, it slows innovation just because people aren't moving and growing.

272

Four out of five employees surveyed said they're not thriving at work.

273

Another 58% of U.S professionals surveyed believe they have a wide range of skills that are being underutilized in their current roles.

274

This all makes for a labor market that doesn't have a lot of churn in it.

275

There's been a lot of anxiety about the direction of both the economy and the labor market.

276

That is part of what's keeping people in jobs, and that could be a contributing factor to this, at least, perception of disengagement that is rising.

277

Here's why so many Americans feel stuck in their jobs and what it means for the economy.

278

Almost one in five job seekers surveyed said they're not confident that they will find a great job that they like.

279

We're in a situation where that economic uncertainty is manifesting itself in fewer people quitting as well as fewer organizations hiring.

280

There's kind of less movement in the market right now.

281

I think wage growth has cooled.

282

Job switching premiums have shrunk.

283

And a lot of workers worry that their pay won't keep up with rising costs.

284

So I think they're clinging to stability in a time of uncertainty.

285

A lot of this does have to do with sentiment because companies are unsure about what's going to happen in the future.

286

They see economic policies like tariffs.

287

They're not quite sure how that's going to impact their bottom line.

288

So they're nervous to hire people when they're not sure

289

if they're going to have to turn around and then let people go in the near future.

290

While layoffs have been steady since the pandemic, many companies are choosing alternatives, such as hiring freezes or letting attrition thin their workforce.

291

What we did, though, is a bit different.

292

We don't do layoffs.

293

We just don't hire.

294

And because you have a natural attrition of 20% in a company like ours, it means that every year 20% leaves.

295

And if you don't recruit, you just shrink, right?

296

But what we've done is we promised all our employees some of those savings we are going to accelerate their compensation with.

297

So they have seen an increasing acceleration in their compensation due to all of the AI that we've done.

298

The organizations are a little bit flatter now.

299

So I think there's a kind of middle management layer that's going away.

300

And so employees stay put, but they're a little bit disconnected from senior leadership sometimes so they feel a little more directionless.

301

I think that creates stress.

302

Staying put may feel like the safer option, but it can come with risks for both workers and employers.

303

If you cling to your job and you get a little bit too complacent, that's not good either

304

because then your employer can look at you as sort of low-hanging fruit for layoffs in the event

305

that they eventually need to do that.

306

Career coaches recommend that you focus on career growth.

307

Even if you're not able to find a new job, You focus on opportunities to improve your skills,

308

do things within your organization to boost your career growth

309

and your opportunities in the event that a new job comes along later.

310

There's some data also that points to wage growth for job hoppers has slowed down quite a bit.

311

Economists still say that job hopping is probably the best way to raise your wages.

312

A February 2025 study estimated that for a typical 1,000 person company,

313

employee disengagement adds up to about $5 million a year in lost productivity.

314

The average disengaged worker could cost the company $4,000 over the course of a year, while an executive could cost $20,000.

315

If they are less engaged, there's a risk to the overall productivity of that employee.

316

So that's kind of that individual risk.

317

But I think in many ways, the bigger risk is the network effect that that will have, is that if you have someone who is disengaged,

318

not putting forth the same amount of effort, but is putting forth enough just to stay under the radar, that work still needs to get done.

319

And so that ends up falling on teammates and other people across the organization.

320

So it can cause some additional stress, even if people are engaged and people are putting forth their extra effort.

321

They might have to go even above and beyond to make up for some of the teammates who are disengaged.

322

Low turnover looks like stability for employers, but it can mask what I would describe as quiet quitting.

323

40% of workers in a recent survey feel directionless with fewer managers in place.

324

Therefore, they maybe spin their will.

325

So I think that has impact on productivity.

326

I think it has impact on employee satisfaction.

327

ultimately can have impact on a company's ability to grow,

328

innovate, and that translates into a cautious workforce, slows labor mobility.

329

And labor mobility historically has been a sign of productivity and innovation.

330

A disengaged workforce that's clinging to their job can have implications for the broader economy and labor market.

331

Globally, low employee engagement is estimated to cost $9.6 trillion annually, or around 9% of global GDP.

332

Labor mobility historically has been a sign of productivity and innovation.

333

With fewer workers chasing new roles, wage growth flattens, and it just kind of reinforces a cycle of caution.

334

And this can dampen consumer confidence.

335

It can dampen the agility of organizations and their ability to innovate and be productive.

336

Career coaches, economists, they all say that the labor market is very frozen right now.

337

If you have a frozen labor market, there's not a lot of new opportunity being created.

338

That ends up hurting people who would otherwise be finding new opportunity in the market.

339

Where you might start to see those types of dips is

340

if we have a prolonged period where the labor market is challenging,

341

a prolonged period where organizations aren't taking advantage of internal labor market movement to re-engage their employees,

342

that's when you may expect to see a bigger hit to productivity as well.

343

This trend of workers staying put has also degraded job seekers' bargaining power, which can lead to flattened wages.

344

Employers have more power in the labor market.

345

We've had labor standards erode in this country for decades.

346

Things like the minimum wage has been sitting at the same level since 2009.

347

Unionization rates in this country have declined dramatically over the last few decades.

348

So when you think about the levers that workers have, it's pretty limited.

349

Workers have lost a bit of their bargaining power in the current environment.

350

They, just a couple of years ago, were able to quit their jobs easily and find a much higher paying gig.

351

Now hiring has slowed down, job openings have come way down, workers aren't quitting their jobs nearly as readily,

352

and we see that wage growth has come down too in this environment.

353

So workers can't command raises like they used to.

354

In the three decades following World War II, we actually saw wages and productivity move in tandem.

355

When you think about compensation for typical workers, they moved as productivity increased.

356

What we've seen largely for the last three to four decades or so is that has diverged.

357

And so as productivity has continued to increase, albeit at a little bit slower pace, I would say overall, workers' wages have not kept up with those kinds of gains.

358

New graduates and early career workers may struggle to find entry-level jobs in the current market.

359

Think about recent college graduates, for example.

360

They're not finding that it's as easy to get a new job straight out of college,

361

an entry-level role, especially because these are roles in which there's fear that AI is disrupting those jobs especially.

362

Think about these are entry-level jobs, kind of a stepping stone to more skilled positions down the road road,

363

it's also low hanging fruit for AI to come in and disrupt and take those jobs away from entry level workers.

364

But this could also be an opportunity for innovative companies to pivot.

365

If you think about the Gen Z workforce or entry level workforce, they're much more moldable, teachable.

366

You know, you can reorient their skill sets.

367

They're bright, they're sharp.

368

I think they're street smart.

369

They know how to use technology.

370

That gives me a lot of hope.

371

And so I think it isn't all doom and gloom.

372

I think it's leaders need to think about how do I repurpose the workforce?

373

And then how do I get new entry or newer professionals?

374

How do I retool their skill sets?

375

How do I help them use AI to make better decisions, to be more productive, to do more at an earlier time in their careers?

376

And so I think those who see it as an opportunity, if you can get the right leadership in place, the right lean workforce, leveraging technology and innovation,

377

you can certainly grow and scale faster.

378

And so I think there are a lot of opportunities, no doubt.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
