May saw a massive job surge—172K new roles—but nearly 40% of cuts were tied to AI, the highest since tracking began. Mark Cuban’s pushing back, arguing small businesses are the real opportunity, creating 60% of new jobs yearly and still figuring out AI. Federal data backs him up—companies under 250 employees hired more than half of all new jobs recently. AI’s a double-edged sword: it’s slashing roles but also fueling demand for fresh AI skills. For grads, the path isn’t with big corps—it’s with small firms hungry for AI-savvy talent. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
