Companies that invest more in AI are also seeing greater workforce expansion:
Firms with the highest AI spending posted a +10.2% increase in headcount over the last 2 years, according to a study covering ~22,000 US companies.
At the same time, entry-level jobs rose +12.0% on average among these firms.
Job gains typically accelerate 6-12 months after a surge in AI spending.
By comparison, firms with low AI adoption saw headcount remain roughly unchanged over the same period.
In other words, companies that materially invest in AI tend to see stronger hiring, but only once investment reaches a level sufficient to unlock productivity gains.
AI is reshaping where hiring happens.
The Albanese government has blindsided the financial sector with a surprise “death tax” on wills and estates, triggering urgent calls for clarification from wealth advisers.
Under new budget measures, family trusts are set to be hit with a minimum 30 per cent tax rate. The new rule will also apply to the most common form of estate planning trust: the Testamentary Discretionary Trust.

His name was Rajan.
He was a final year engineering student at the Regional Engineering College in Calicut, Kerala. His father, T V Eachara Varier, was a Hindi professor at the Government Arts and Science College in the same city.
On the morning of March 1 1976 the police came to the college campus and took Rajan away.
India was under Emergency. Civil liberties were suspended. Courts had effectively turned away.
His father found out the next day from the college principal.
He went to every police station in the district. No one admitted to having his son.
He met the Home Minister of Kerala, K Karunakaran, directly.
He sent petitions to the Home Secretary of the Government of Kerala three times. Not a single reply or acknowledgement came.
He wrote to the President of India and the Home Minister of the central government, with copies to every Member of Parliament from Kerala.
Nothing.
What Eachara Varier did not know at the time was that his son had been taken to an illegal police interrogation camp at Kakkayam.
He was tortured.
A practice called uruttal was used, where a heavy wooden log is rolled over the body of the victim.
Rajan died from his injuries. His body was disposed of by the police and was never found.
When the Emergency ended in 1977 Eachara Varier filed a habeas corpus petition in the Kerala High Court.
It was the first such petition filed in Kerala after the Emergency.
He did it without legal training, without political backing, without money.
He had spent everything searching for his son.
The court case slowly unravelled the truth.
It forced K Karunakaran to resign as Chief Minister of Kerala in 1978 when the adverse judgment came.
Rajan’s mother became mentally unstable from the grief. She died in 2000 still not knowing where her son was.
Eachara Varier wrote his memoir, Memories of a Father, which won the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award in 2004.
In its final lines he wrote, “I don’t close the door. Let the rain lash inside and drench me. Let at least my invisible son know that his father never shut the door.”
He died on April 13 2006. He never found his son’s body.
Rajan was picked up from his college campus on a March morning in 1976. He was never seen again.

हे चूतियो! मुझे पता है ‘नॉर्मल’ नोटिस है गुजरात पुलिस से। मुझे पूछना यह है कि गुजरात पुलिस को ऐसा क्यों लगता है कि यह कंटेंट सोशल मीडिया पर नहीं होना चाहिए?
कहीं की भी पुलिस को ऐसा क्यों लगता है कि किसी भी नेता/पार्टी/राज्य पर मीम बनाना, कटाक्ष करना एक ऐसा अपराध है जिसमें ‘आजीवन कारावास’ वाली धारा लगाई जाए जिसमें बेल भी न मिले?
यदि आप इस बात से कम्फर्टेबल हो कि ये ‘नॉर्मल’ नोटिस है, तो मैं बता दूँ कि ऐसे नॉर्मल नोटिस मेरे लिए आठ FIR का कारण बन चुके हैं। मुझे विक्टिम नहीं बनना है, जितनी तुम्हारी साल भर की सैलरी है, उतना मैं इन केसों को लड़ने में लगा चुका हूँ।
तुम केवल कर्नाटक जपते हो, मेरे ऊपर पाँच दूसरे राज्यों में FIR है। सब के सब ट्विटर/यूट्यूब के लिए। कभी सुना मुझे रोते-गाते हुए? पर हाँ, जानकारी देता रहूँगा ताकि पता चले कि हर सरकार आलोचना पर एक ही तरह से रिएक्ट करती है।
इसलिए, मुझे ज्ञान मत दो। यह फंडामेंटली गलत है कि X को कोई भी पुलिस, ऐसे साधारण कंटेंट हटाने का नोटिस देती है। इसके बिलकुल उलट, कॉन्ग्रेस के हैंडल बीच
चुनाव में क्या-क्या नहीं करते, और उन्हें कुछ नहीं होता।
यह मानसिक रूप से उन हैंडलों को तोड़ता है जो छोटे हैं। वो लिखना छोड़ देते हैं। इसलिए, यह एक नॉर्मल नोटिस नहीं है, चाहे दो आएँ या दर्जन भर।
Alternative routes ( new suppliers/ smugglers ) who are supplying or a combination of both . I believe once the event is over .. the oil prices will struggle as consumers would move to more reliable / robust forms of energy .. #oil#IranWar#brent#WTI
If experts are tight and oil markets have been impacted by 12-14 mio barrels per day .. there are 2 things which can justify the current level of prices a) world has moved on and found other sources of energy which replaced oil b) the loss is not of that magnitude and there are
BJP MLA,Pritam Lodhi, threatens MP Police after son's Thar accident.
Pritam Lodhi's son, Dinesh Lodhi, rammed a Thar vehicle into five people in Karera a few days ago.
PM @narendramodi ji, if these kinds of MLAs continues to stay in BJP... soon there will be NO difference among AAP, Congress and BJP.
I wish the Allbirds people luck in their attempt to pivot to GPUs. Maybe they can do it. But i regard this as the first definitive sign that things have gone too far. What a bunch of jokers and mountebanks they are..
Will Apple and Nvidia keep their gains. These are big S&P names and without new money coming in to the S&P 500 they are vulnerable as it is still a Seagate, Western Dig rally--antithetical to the big growth story.. because big growth belongs to anthropic, spacex and OpenAI. Just a fact of life
