"There will be shortages in the tens or even hundreds of thousands of nurses, physicians, teachers, engineers, pharmacists, mental health counselors, construction workers and airplane mechanics – jobs AI generally can’t do"
The problem, as usual, is that these companies don't want to train staff, they want them to pay for their own training (university fees) and walk into the job productive on day one.
I guess there could just be more jobs than people, but I find it hard to believe.
