For two decades, Kimberly Harrington thrived as a freelance copywriter and creative director, with clients including Apple, Netflix, and Nike. She was the breadwinner for her family, working remotely and raising her children in rural Vermont. Two years ago, as the kids left home for college, she decided to look for the perfect full-time job — only to watch her prospects collapse. She went, as she put it, from carefully vetting only “the best of the best” opportunities to, “I will
take anything.”

The next crisis is here for
white-collar knowledge workers: credentialed, skilled, and accustomed to being well compensated for their abilities to design corporate websites, hit corporate sales targets, or write corporate marketing copy. Until recently, such skills were a golden ticket to the “best paid and most coveted jobs in the economy,” as Kinder puts it. These skills carried workers through the dot-com era, the smartphone explosion, and the pandemic hiring frenzy — always riding the next wave, often pulling down six figures, solidly within the top 10% of
earners.

For a certain
type of frustrated citizen, there may be an extra frisson in all this — an existential thrill in watching the system maybe, finally crack under its own weight, a sense of being a witness to history, or even the end of history. As one fed-up job seeker, who finally quit seeking another role in corporate sales and began working with disabled adults, reading tarot on the side, told Quartz: “At the risk of being the tarot guy, I feel like society is in one big tower moment with capitalism itself trying to sustain, but it’s very much starting to
reap what it sows.”

Experts explain the collapse of morale in several ways. Ron Hetrick, principal economist at the labor market data firm Lightcast and a former Bureau of Labor Statistics economist, sees the post-pandemic, 2021 and 2022 job markets as an outlier, not a new baseline. Companies were overhiring, cash was loose, so some white-collar jobs came with salaries above reasonable market rates. In Hetrick’s read, what we’re now seeing, from reduced salaries to return-to-office mandates, is a return to normal.

The simultaneous prospect of AI automation is also reducing white-collar workers’ negotiating power. Daniel Keum, a
professor at Columbia Business School who studies AI in the workplace, describes the mechanism plainly: “A junior associate at a law firm before could demand 20% of billable hours,” he said. “Now you bill more, but you take 10% — because if you demand anything more, there's AI.”

Wage cuts may also come as job searchers struggle to find positions on par with the compensation they’re used to. Terrazas, the former Glassdoor economist, suspects new graduates are
competing less against AI than they are against workers with two to four years of experience who have been pushed down the expectations ladder — people who would once have aimed (and likely earned) higher, but are now taking whatever’s available.

“It might not be that AI is taking new grad jobs,” he said, “as much as workers with [more] experience taking new grad jobs.” This would also explain the entry-level crunch, the tough market for those coming out of
school. Hetrick blames elite overproduction, too: too many college graduates competing for too few jobs.

Hanna Horvath, a financial planner behind the popular Your Brain on Money newsletter, wrote in March: “If you earn roughly $50K to $100K, have no generational wealth, maybe some college — you’re experiencing what I’d call material precarity. You’re
watching the things that middle-class life used to include by default — stable housing, healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt you, childcare that doesn’t consume an entire salary, a retirement you can actually plan for — slip out of reach. And you know it. You can feel it at the grocery store, at the pharmacy, in the insurance deductible that’s quietly crept up to $8,000.”

Harrington, the copywriter in Vermont, echoed the sentiment: “I never used to pay attention to
gas prices, ever, in my life. Like, who cares? I’ve very rarely been in a position where I haven't been able to put gas in my car. That alone is a privilege.” Now, she said, “you're dealing with that and getting groceries?

Perhaps that’s never been more true than now, at least in terms of scale.

Along with the machines came the “satanic mills,” tenements, cholera, decades of immiseration before anything resembling broad prosperity arrived. But the transformation that wrecked so many trades did, slowly, make something else valuable: As large-scale industrial employment spread, skills, training, and
education became the currency of advancement. The middle class was built first by industrial capitalism, then broadened and stabilized much later by public policy, unions, and reform. It took a Depression, it took organizing that was genuinely dangerous to do. Out of that long, uneven arc came the 21st-century knowledge worker.

Subsequent waves of labor displacement have mostly run in the same direction. Mechanization, more mechanization, offshoring, more offshoring — each wave moved the floor and left the ceiling intact. The white-collar class watched from above and told itself that the mind is not an asset that can be shipped overseas: Being smart, somehow clawing together the right credentials, you could win an exemption. If
your smarts and talent were highly regarded enough, you could have a voice within organizations, a degree of freedom to speak your mind.

AI technology itself didn’t steal training materials, or revoke the
talent-for-security bargain, of course. Part of why the moment feels so dreadful is the mass experience of management sprinting to cut costs — gleefully, enthusiastically, in many cases before the technology even fully works. This means what white-collar workers are absorbing now goes beyond automation, something more like the blunt discovery that the people running the country’s institutions are indifferent to the people inside them, no matter the people’s rank. That the going bargain is, train your replacement or be branded a naysayer and get
cut a quarter early. Delivered flatly, without apology, and echoing a government that has made mass firings inside its institutions look like ordinary management.

For many people with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring, treatment options often involve wearing a device during sleep. eXciteOSA® by Spring Sleep takes a
different approach. Used for just 20 minutes a day while awake, it is designed to strengthen tongue muscles associated with maintaining upper airway function. Because therapy is completed during the day, there is no device to wear overnight, making bedtime as simple as getting comfortable and going to sleep.

“The average person is starting to notice that our political and economic systems don’t actually exist to serve or provide for them anymore, they exist to consolidate wealth for people and companies at the top of the chain,” said Rosie Spinks, a journalist and author of the forthcoming book How to Build a Village. “The earth and its resources are treated as a
