In this episode of the RICE Report, Eric sits down with data insider Amanda Goodall—aka The Job Chick—to uncover the truth about the job market that Wall Street and Washington don’t want you to hear. From mass executive layoffs and the myth of wage growth to the rise of H-1B visa replacements and AI’s premature impact on employment, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the economic chaos of 2024.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why BLS job numbers are deeply misleading
- The real reason tech and finance workers are being wiped out
- How corporations manipulate job titles to slash pay
- What’s actually driving the layoff wave (hint: it’s not just AI)

Amanda works with investors, execs, and insiders—her predictions have been spot on. If you care about your future, your income, or your freedom, this is the intel you can’t afford to miss.
