Allison Schrager: AI-proofing your career starts in college

The job market has never offered any guarantees. Mechanization wiped out once-secure careers in manufacturing. Now artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for a future generation of jobs that had seemed safe, starting with software coding and back-office work. So what can we do about it?

Allison Schrager: Don't make the same mistake as SVB with your 401(k)

The poor risk management at Silicon Valley Bank is stunning. But what went wrong is actually pretty common. There is often confusion about what makes a safe asset versus a risky one, and guessing wrong is often at the core of financial blow-ups. Safe assets, as we properly define them,…

Allison Schrager: Say it with Rubio: Changing clocks is stupid

I have mixed feelings about many of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s policies, but he will always be a hero to me. I can’t help but admire his determination to end the semi-annual, pointless and expensive ritual of changing our clocks to observe daylight saving time during the spring and summer…

Allison Schrager: Harry and Meghan and the perils of superstar culture

Allison Schrager: Burned by crypto? Don’t learn the wrong lesson

I must admit I’ve been rooting for the crypto market to crash and burn. Not because I never invested in it and was resentful to see so many people get rich from it (though there were moments). But because I don't understand it, what value it serves or what problem…

Allison Schrager: We should just accept we’re going to have a blah economy

This economy can’t go on forever. GDP may still be growing, but it’s at an anemic rate. And other indicators are piling up that suggest a recession is imminent: The yield curve is inverting, hiring and house price growth is slowing and Philadelphia may win the World Series.

Allison Schrager: Biden hasn’t helped the economy. He’s made it worse

To President Joe Biden’s credit, his policies didn’t cause many of the economic problems we face today. But they did make them worse. Even more troubling, his policies might reduce growth in the future and make the economy less equal and resilient.

Allison Schrager: Enjoy the Social Security bump now. You'll pay later

Social Security is known as the third rail of politics. President Joe Biden has pounced on all who dare even think about curtailing the retirement program.

Allison Schrager: Quiet quitters are looking in the wrong place for meaningful work

If you expect your job to give your life meaning, you’re setting yourself up for failure. There was a time when a job was just an economic transaction: Someone paid you for your labor and that enabled you to live and support your family. But for a variety of reasons,…
