00:00Everyone's talking about the jobs that AI is replacing, but nobody's talking about what comes next.
00:05So here's what's happening.
00:06We've talked about how AI is hitting young workers the hardest,
00:09but the big question that all the experts are avoiding?
00:11What does the job market actually look like once those entry-level jobs are gone?
00:15Well, this week Goldman Sachs actually tried to answer that.
00:18The optimistic version?
00:20We've heard it a million times.
00:21AI doesn't destroy jobs, it creates them.
00:23Data centers, AI oversight, and infrastructure.
00:26Goldman says that's the side of the equation that's real.
00:28It's just not showing up yet where the losses are happening.
00:31The harder truth to swallow?
00:33The new jobs and the lost jobs aren't exactly a swap.
00:36They require different skills, exist in different cities, and have a whole different pay range.
00:41That gap is what economists are most worried about.
00:44Now this is the part you might want to sit down for.
00:46Goldman looked at every automation wave going back to 1980, and the pattern is the same every time.
00:52Workers who lose their jobs to tech don't usually land somewhere better,
00:55and it takes about 10 years to recover, if they recover at all.
00:59Optimists point to history.
01:01Every major tech shift ultimately created more jobs than it destroyed,
01:05but critics are saying AI moves way too fast for that playbook to hold this time.
01:09The most honest answer to what the job market looks like on the other side?
01:13Nobody knows.
01:14But the workers with the best shot are moving toward roles that AI can support rather than replace.
01:19The takeaway here is that the floor isn't disappearing, it's just moving.
01:22So here's the big question. Will AI actually replace what it's taking away,
01:26or are we headed somewhere that nobody's mapped yet?
