'Bigger than AI job loss’ : Anand Mahindra warns of labour emergency, calls it bigger than Al-led job loss

Mahindra Group Chairman, Anand Mahindra, has warned of an imminent skilled labour crisis.

Calling it "far bigger crisis" than Al-led job displacement, he claimed this stems from society's imbalance of pushing degrees/desk jobs to top of the "aspirational" ladder and skilled trades to the bottom. Quoting Ford CEO Jim Farley, Mahindra noted that US has millions of vacant labour roles.
