In this episode of Around the Desk, Sean Emory, Founder & CIO of Avory & Co., sits down with Loujaina Abdelwahed, PhD — a senior economist at Revelio Labs — to break down what’s really happening in the labor market.

We dig into the shifting workforce, the nuanced role AI is playing in reshaping jobs, and the generational divide in employee sentiment and retention.

From federal workforce changes to AI adoption curves — this is the kind of analysis that tells us where the labor market is actually headed.

We cover:

• Slowing hiring and historically low attrition
• Why AI is altering — not eliminating — roles
• Declining demand for AI-exposed roles
• Generational shifts: why younger workers are leaving
• The changing public workforce and retention challenges
• Why employee sentiment is deteriorating — and what it means
• How AI adoption is correlated with productivity and satisfaction
• Which jobs are growing while others stagnate
