My Assessment of AI's Impact on the US Economy and Labor Market

Labor economist Gad Levanon argues on his Labor Matters newsletter (Oct 1, 2026) that most of the public debate underestimates how much AI has already changed the US economy and labor market. He estimates underlying GDP growth at about 3 percent, driven largely by AI-related business investment, and says his reading of the evidence is not definitive proof.

Workforce Planning for Future Skills Gaps and Talent Shortages (HRAddict)

An HR guide to planning for skills gaps and talent shortages before they hit, covering whether to build, buy, or borrow talent. It cites ManpowerGroup data that 72% of employers still struggle to fill roles, and contrasts industries with shortages against job seekers sending hundreds of applications. A guest contribution from Global Verification Network, updated April 7, 2026.

Why I recommend it: A practical employer-side view of the skills-gap problem — pairs well with resources written for job seekers navigating the same market.

NYC Economic Snapshot — September 2026

Sep 24, 2026New York City Economic Development Corporation

NYCEDC's monthly data briefing on the city's economy as of September 24, 2026: private-sector employment down 12,900 in August, unemployment at 4.8% after six straight monthly declines, labor force participation at 62.1%, median asking rent near $4,000, plus office visitation, tourism, and transit numbers.

Why I recommend it: The one-page-per-topic format makes this the fastest way to sound current on the NYC economy in an interview or a client meeting. Read the jobs and small-business pages; skip the real-estate detail unless it touches your field. It is a city agency's own read of its own economy, so pair it with the raw BLS numbers if you need the unspun version.

WARNact.io — U.S. Layoff Tracker

WARNact.io tracks WARN Act layoff filings, the legally required notices companies file before mass layoffs and plant closures, pulled from official state workforce agency records. Filings are searchable by state, company and industry. WARNact.io is an independent tracker, not a government source, and is not affiliated with any state or federal agency.

Why I recommend it: In plain terms: a searchable list of the official layoff notices companies must file with states. It is run independently, not by the government, so check a filing against the state agency record when it matters.
