Listen "Ep. 33 - Entry Level Extinction"
Episode Synopsis
In this New Year kickoff episode, Koby Ofek tracks the first big labor-market pattern of 2026: the career ladder itself is starting to lose its bottom step. Geoffrey Hinton warns that automation is about to speed up, investors openly predict companies will swap headcount for AI budgets, and young workers respond by fleeing “first-rung” office jobs toward trades where reality still fights back. The result is not one clean wave of layoffs, but a quieter crisis: fewer on-ramps, fewer apprenticeships, and a workforce forced to prove value earlier, faster, and more publicly. Koby connects the dots, shares the core logic behind his latest 2026 predictions, and explains why the most important job story this year might be the disappearance of entry-level work, not the disappearance of work itself.
