What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Spring begins in nine days. And this year, economists are calling it a blue-collar spring. You see, while AI is eliminating white-collar jobs, the trades are booming and the paychecks are following. Here's who's most at risk now. Writers, translators, airline ticket agents, entry-level sales and web developers. So if your job lives entirely on a screen, AI is already doing a version of it cheaper and faster. Now here's who's untouchable. Electricians, plumbers, mechanics, HVAC techs, heavy equipment operators, line workers, police officers, firefighters. Basically, jobs that require real-time judgment, fast-changing environments, and hands that touch things. AI cannot unclog your drain. It cannot rewire your panel.
What jobs are most at risk from AI?
The era of looking down on blue-collar work, done. The new job security, a truck, license, and a skill set no algorithm can do. Get my free newsletter at GetKim.com. And now a clip from my weekend show, The Kim Commando Show. It's pretty much the best radio show in the world, but I may be just a little biased. Sit back and enjoy. You know that little slip of plastic in your wallet?
What are the implications of AI on white-collar jobs?
It's your driver's license, and it's not only an ID. It's a goldmine for data brokers. State DMVs across the country are making millions selling your personal info, names, addresses, accident records, even court history to companies you've never heard of. And it's not only ads. Data Brokers makes your DMV info with your shopping habits, credit profiles, and social media activity to build a complete profile on you. Some use it to sell you stuff. Others use it to judge your risk for insurance or even jobs.

Uber, DoorDash, and all the other services. And if you're like me, you use them quite a bit. Now, one of the shocking things I just heard about is that there is a 50-50 chance that the person who's driving you or delivers food to your front door may not have been subjected to any background checks.
I'm talking about none. They could have a criminal record, a DUI conviction, or even be on probation, no matter what the gig economy companies claim. So even though it's against company policy, TransUnion, you know that company, it's a big credit score research deal, they found that 45% of gig economy drivers sell access to their apps. Think about that. The person who was vetted to drive you, deliver your food has not been properly vetted. Drivers could be dangerous.
How is the perception of blue-collar work changing?
So here's the deal, always use Uber safety features and never, ever, ever allowed delivery drivers into your home or open your gate or your front door to greet them. All right, meanwhile, in Kansas City, a man may have cracked the code on the perfect business model. Mamadou Diallo had a business selling cars on Facebook Marketplace.
What skills are essential for job security in the trades?
He'd meet up with buyers, hand over bills to sales. Everything was really great, but between May and June, he sold cars to about eight people, made $24,000, but here's what would happen. He had a Honda Civic and a Buick Verano and he would sell the cars. And then after he got the money and the cars went to the new owner, he'd go over to their house and he'd steal the cars and then bring them back. And then he'd sell the cars again. It's a great business model. Your inventory is always at 100%. But here's the thing. He's looking at 98 years in prison for $24,000. I mean, you've heard of like dumb criminals. This guy's an idiot. Well, how about the fact that like CEOs of Enron who stole hundreds of millions of dollars got like six months probation?
So what are you in for? I sold a Honda Civic.
