## Resource

This week on TrendsTalk, ITR Economist and Speaker Taylor St. Germain breaks down how AI is reshaping the labor market and why white-collar industries are seeing a different impact than blue-collar sectors. While many businesses are investing heavily in AI, layoffs and workforce shifts are not happening evenly across the economy. What does this mean for hiring, wages, and long-term workforce strategy? And why are some industries seeing more stability despite ongoing labor shortages?
