Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children.

Pay all workers a living wage.

AI is not just a theoretical disruptor. It's already here—subtly augmenting some roles, quietly automating others, and rapidly altering the calculus of employment, wages and urban economic resilience.

One path leverages AI to build a fairer, smarter workforce, while the other allows silent displacement to undercut economic inclusion and dignity of work.
