Breaking Job News: MIT's Shocking AI Exposure Index & 2025 Job Growth Only Came From Two Sectors

The most significant shift in today’s job market isn’t happening in tech; it’s happening in the everyday tasks no one talks about. MIT’s new Project Iceberg shows that while coding and engineering get the AI spotlight, the real exposure is buried in admin, finance, and professional services. That hidden layer is 5× larger, and it’s already reshaping careers: early-career employment in exposed roles is down 13%, and AI task fluency is quickly becoming the new baseline for advancement.

Pete Newsome also digs into a stunning labor reality: 100% of 2025 job growth came from just two sectors, healthcare and leisure & hospitality. Everywhere else? Flat or shrinking. And in a market this tight, AI skills are no longer optional. With 78% of IT job postings across G7 countries requiring AI, Pete breaks down fast, practical ways to build credibility without another degree, using small tools, achieving measurable wins, and creating a portfolio that shows real impact.

But there’s real pain too. After acquiring Interpublic Group, Omnicom is cutting 4,000+ jobs and retiring multiple legacy agencies. Pete shares the steps workers should take now: modernize your resume around outcomes, activate your network with clear asks, and pivot toward roles where your workflow expertise plus AI leverage becomes hard to replace.
