My Predictions for 2026, 2, Work & Economy

  1. The four-day work week will become the new norm, accelerated by the adoption of AI.
  2. AI will not have “taken all the jobs” but will have significantly changed and threatened many professions such as radiologists, legal, coders, customer service…..
  3. The ‘smart kids on the block’ will see expertise in jobs which use hands such as bakery, plumbing and landscape gardening and couple that with artisan aspects and outstanding customer service.
  4. Governments will have to start addressing once theoretical ideas such as ‘universal wage’.
  5. Gig economy regulations will tighten significantly.
