In this episode of Work and the Future, economist and keynote speaker Linda Nazareth talks about the labour market and work trends. She covers:

• The latest U.S. data on employment, as well as the why the most recent report on layoffs might be the most important indicator
• The state of the Canadian labour market and the implications of the recent loss in jobs
• Why there is beginning to be a backlash against using Artificial Intelligence to interview candidates (and what that means for actual human beings)
• The significance (or lack of significance) of recent trends such as ‘task-masking’ and ‘micro-retirements’
