U.S. hiring continued to cool in March, marking the third straight month of slowdown. In March, national hiring dipped just over 1% from February and sits 6% below 📉 where it was this time last year. Overall, hiring remains 24% below pre-pandemic levels. But the picture isn’t the same across industries. Hiring is beginning to stabilize in areas like Technology, Information and Media, and Wholesale, however, sectors including Financial Services and Professional Services are still operating well below their pre‑2020 pace. Year over year, hiring fell in all 20 metros we track. And while San Francisco has shown signs of stabilizing, hiring there is still 36% below pre-pandemic levels.

Earlier this week, LinkedIn partnered with the UNDP Digital, AI and Innovation Hub (Accelerator Labs) to bring together policymakers, researchers, and workforce leaders to unpack insights from the 2026 Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) AI Index.  One thing that came through clearly in our discussion: AI adoption is accelerating, but its benefits aren’t being distributed evenly.  Across regions and industries, access to skills, infrastructure, and opportunity will play a major role in shaping who benefits from this next wave of technological change. And this isn’t a future‑of‑work scenario. It’s already changing how work gets done today.  The data is important. But what matters most now are the choices that follow — around policy, investment, and collaboration — which will determine whether AI expands economic opportunity or reinforces existing gaps.  Grateful to our partners at UNDP and Stanford University for helping move this conversation from insight to action.  📄 You can explore the full 2026 Stanford AI Index here by clicking the link in the comments below.

The early-career playbook isn't what it used to be. Fewer entry-level roles, slower hiring and AI are reshaping what "junior" work looks like — but that doesn't mean opportunity has disappeared. In this year's LinkedIn Grad's Guide, we spoke to young professionals navigating the market — from AI engineers to those taking less traditional paths — along with experts to help make sense of it all. What we found: • The roles and industries opening doors • The cities where opportunity is growing • What's actually helping people get started If you're starting your career this year or know someone who is, this is for you. Dig in and join the conversation below. 🧑🎓 New grads: what kind of work are you aiming for — and what skills are you building to get there? 👩💼 If you've been there: what’s one piece of advice you’d give someone entering today’s job market? #GradsGuide2026

Artificial intelligence has sparked fears it will become a job killer. It’s also fueling a crop of new careers. 🔗 https://on.wsj.com/48c875r AI created 640,000 jobs between 2023 and 2025 in the U.S., according to an analysis by LinkedIn of job posting data, including new white-collar positions such as head of AI and AI engineer. That tally doesn’t include the huge number of temporary construction jobs tied to building the mammoth data centers AI relies on. The fast-emerging new jobs help train AI to improve its performance and take on more tasks, and help train humans to use AI in their work. The jobs run the gamut from high-level careers in AI strategy to hourly work. One rising job is head of AI. In the three years from 2023 through 2025, companies sought to fill 225,000 such jobs, up 49% from the prior four years, according to LinkedIn job-posting data.

Open to Work is coming to Reddit! Ryan Roslansky and I wrote this book to start a new conversation around where work is going in the age of AI and to help us all know what to do to - right now - to manage this moment of big change. Along the way, we had the chance to hear from workers of all backgrounds and career stages who are navigating career pivots, unexpected job challenges, and building entirely new kinds of work for themselves and their teams. Those lived experiences shaped the book as much as any other research or reporting. I'm hosting my first ever Reddit AMA on April 2nd at 11:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM ET. I’ll be taking your questions, sharing advice, and might even tell a few stories that didn’t make it into the final version of the book. 🔗 Join me here: https://lnkd.in/AneeshAMA
