Three-Year Bachelor's Degrees — Jobs for the Future

JFF's explainer on three-year bachelor's degree programs: how schools are redesigning degrees around fewer credits and clearer career outcomes, which accreditors have approved them, and what the model could mean for cost and time-to-degree.

Why I recommend it: Worth reading before you or someone you advise commits to a four-year price tag. JFF is a workforce nonprofit with its own agenda around shorter pathways, so treat the optimism as advocacy — but the accreditation facts and school examples check out.

The Most AI-Ready Skill Is a Learning Mindset

A Forbes Business Development Council column (Sept 15, 2026) arguing that the habit of continuous learning matters more for AI-era careers than any single technical skill.

Why I recommend it: Forbes Councils columns are written by paying council members, not Forbes journalists, so treat this as one practitioner's opinion. Forbes may limit free articles per month.

Young adults in the U.S. are increasingly wary of AI, concerned it will take jobs

Pew Research Center short read, 18 August 2026, on a survey of US adults conducted 22-28 June 2026. 52% now say they are more concerned than excited about AI in daily life, up from 37% in 2021. Among adults aged 18-29, 55% are more concerned than excited and 11% more excited than concerned, and 73% think AI will mean fewer US jobs over the next 20 years, up from 61% in 2024.

Why I recommend it: Useful when a client says the worry is just in their head — it is not, and the numbers are free to download as a spreadsheet. Read it as what people expect, not as what has happened to employment: it measures opinion, not job counts.

How Does AI Change Labor Demand? Evidence from 41 Countries

Authors
Bharat Chandar, Bouke Klein Teeselink
Venue
Working paper (Stanford Digital Economy Lab)

Stanford Digital Economy Lab working paper by Bharat Chandar and Bouke Klein Teeselink, separating what happens to jobs after a firm adopts generative AI into a company-wide productivity effect and changes in what specific kinds of workers are asked to do.

Why I recommend it: Free, with the full PDF on the page. It is a working paper dated 21 September 2026, meaning it has not been through peer review yet, so read it as early evidence. Useful because it does not answer 'will AI take jobs' — it asks which workers get asked to do more and which get asked to do less.
