Looking for Work
The job market is about to get even more competitive
If you feel like the job market is squeezing you out, you’re not alone.
Last week, at CES Las Vegas, I saw a robot holding a cardboard sign that read: “Looking for work.”

It was jarring – because it highlights a sad reality that many Americans are being buried under.
In 2025, the U.S. job market had its weakest year of growth since 2020. As you know, that was during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Before that, the last time things were this bad was in 2009, during the Great Recession.
And the bad news is… The job market is about to get even more competitive, with millions of robots expected to enter the workforce over the coming years.
It’s a story I (Houston) first put on your radar last year.
If you remember, I showed you how robots – powered by artificial intelligence (AI) – are coming for human jobs. By 2030, McKinsey forecasts 11.8 million U.S. workers will need to switch occupations.
If you depend on a steady paycheck… or if your kids or grandkids are just entering the workforce… that’s a scary thought.
That’s why I wasn’t surprised when a 2025 poll found that 71% of Americans are worried AI will put “too many people out of work permanently.”
But as I’ll show you below, there’s good news.
Because the same AI shift that’s disrupting the job market is also creating one of the biggest investment opportunities of our lifetime.
And if you’re smart about the next steps you take, you could put yourself in a position where you never have to worry about the changing job landscape again.
