Most economists know absolutely nothing and are too stupid to make predictions.
Furthermore, journalists contact ONLY those economists who deliver certified leftist viewpoints.
I got cousins that are CEOs and CTOs.
They say the economy is very good and they don’t see it slowing down.
They ALSO said AI is very good at helping them with certain things but so far, from what they see, the jobs lost to it or LESS than the jobs added.
And it is more of a tool than a replacement.
One cousin has been CEO of three different companies over 30 years and has sat on many boards.
He says at least in the business world, there are plenty of jobs and AI won’t change that any time soon.
And the reason for that is, US economicss programs only produce more Keynesians, who are indoctrinated in the belief that the answer to any economic problem is more governmentj.
The reason the journalists believe them is because they have been indoctrinated in the belief that whatever Smart People say is the truth and have no idea how to investigate and fact-check for themselves, or even how to write coherent English sentences.
