Gen Z is facing a job market bloodbath-but JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says employers are still chasing students who studied these fields
Briefly

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, highlights a talent shortage in essential fields such as cybersecurity, coding, and project management. While entry-level jobs face threats from AI, Dimon notes that businesses are actively seeking skilled young workers. He critiques current educational systems for emphasizing graduation rather than job readiness, advocating for metrics that measure student job placements. This suggests that Gen Z can enhance their employability by pursuing relevant fields of study, countering the narrative of a dying job market.
We are short on labor, but we all have needs for cyber, we all have needs for coding, we all have needs for programming, we have needs for financial management and program management.
