The Federal Reserve's own business contacts in five of its twelve Districts now say AI is letting firms skip hiring, and the jobs that vanish first are the entry level ones.

Brian and Jessica unpack what the Fed's contacts in Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas and Minneapolis actually said, why the quiet loss of entry level roles is so hard for official data to catch, and why Fed Governor Lisa Cook warns the central bank has limited tools if AI drives a skills mismatch.
