AI & Hiring: McKinsey says AI could eliminate about 36 million U.S. jobs by 2035, but growth in other fields could add about 41 million—meaning millions will need major career switches, especially from lower-paid office, retail, and transport roles into areas like healthcare and construction. Job Market Watch: The U.S. added just 29,000 jobs in September and unemployment ticked to 4.2%, with wage growth slowing—signaling hiring is cooling even if the labor market isn’t collapsing. Workplace Rules: California’s new workplace AI law draws a line: software can help assess workers, but it can’t fire or discipline them. Hiring Integrity: A report finds candidate cheating in assessments jumped to 45% in 2025-26, with more cases involving AI-assisted cheating and device manipulation. Local Hiring Events: Riverside County’s 31st Annual Employment Expo drew 1,700 job seekers to meet nearly 100 employers, while Guam’s Triple J and PowerUP are running job fairs with possible on-the-spot hiring. Training & Career Pathways: CelcomDigi’s Young Talent Programme is spotlighted as a rotational tech-career bridge for graduates, and Kenya’s technical colleges are being urged to fully use government equipment to produce goods and create jobs. Recruiter Take: A former recruiter says CVs get rejected fast when relevance isn’t clear—applicants should make it obvious why they fit the role.
