"Hiring has stalled and mass layoffs are happening, there's economic uncertainty, tariffs and of course, AI. Companies are tightening their belts, employees are staying put and the stats coming out of cities like New York are frightening. New York City reportedly added only 956 private sector jobs in the first half of this year vs. 65,000 in the same period in 2024. In other words, if you're out of work, wherever you live, it's not you."
"You can use AI to write a resume and a cover letter, ask for job advice and negotiate a starting salary or raise. And now, you can use dedicated AI agents to find job opportunities while you sleep. Imagine that. Get unstuck in your job search"
Hiring has stalled and mass layoffs plus economic uncertainty have sharply reduced private-sector job growth, with New York City adding only 956 private-sector jobs in the first half of the year versus 65,000 the prior year. AI is eliminating some roles but also provides tools to aid job searches. AI can generate resumes and cover letters, offer job advice, and assist with salary negotiations. Dedicated AI agents can ingest resumes and LinkedIn profiles, surface active job ads with fit percentages, produce job-match matrices for interview prep, and enable personalized chatbot interactions, though occasional glitches require manual verification.
