Andy Schectman returns for another sharp and timely Friday Night Economic Review to break down the underreported economic realities that have shaped 2025. We dig into the millions of jobs already lost this year—levels now matching the 2020 pandemic collapse—and the additional million-plus layoffs projected for 2026.

Even as this bubble shows the classic signs of an inevitable break, AI is fundamentally reshaping every corner of society—from labor and finance to geopolitics and culture.
