About this listen
April 24, 2026:
The Wall Street Journal reports entry-level hiring is rebounding — but IBM's HR chief says AI can already do almost everything those jobs used to require, and ZipRecruiter's data shows 73% of grads are now considering gig or trade work because corporate entry roles have dried up.

And The Guardian reports Meta cutting 8,000 jobs and Microsoft offering buyouts to 9,000 people on the same day they announce hundreds of billions in new AI investment.
