New Mexico tells a different story. Here, we’ve shown that when a state aligns **talent development, policy and infrastructure**, innovation becomes a powerful engine for economic growth. ## Building a Modern Technology Economy Over the last few years, New Mexico has committed to a willingness to work together. Policymakers, universities, national labs and local businesses have built a foundation for a modern technology economy, one that is growing faster than many may realize. But as this new era of innovation accelerates, driven by **artificial intelligence, advanced computing and electrification**, the states that will lead are those that ensure they have the power and related infrastructure to sustain it. ## The Talent Pipeline: New Mexico's Greatest Strength Any long-term innovation strategy must first start with people, and New Mexico’s talent pipeline is increasingly one of our greatest strengths. Our workforce programs and higher education institutions are the engine of this effort, working hand-in-hand to prepare the next generation of innovators who will power our economy for decades to come. The **University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University and New Mexico Tech** are producing thousands of STEM graduates each year and partnering directly with New Mexico businesses to match degrees in fields like **cybersecurity, clean energy, aerospace and advanced manufacturing**. In fact, New Mexico now ranks **sixth in the nation for manufacturing employment growth** and has added more than 12,000 new jobs in the last year alone. Our state is also benefiting from organizations that nurture local talent in local companies. In Albuquerque, **CNM Ingenuity** has helped launch hundreds of startups and placed thousands of New Mexicans into high-wage tech jobs while the **Elevate Quantum Tech Hub** has positioned the state as a leader in quantum information science and attracted national partners in AI, defense and semiconductor innovation. These hubs, combined with a growing network of accelerators and university partnerships, are creating opportunities that keep our homegrown talent right here in New Mexico. ## Policy and Investment: Strengthening the Foundation To help strengthen this foundation, I was proud to champion **House Bill 20**, which established the Technology and Innovation Division within the Economic Development Department. The bill secured more than **$90 million** to support recruitment, retention and training in high-tech fields — investments that will continue to attract companies specializing in **AI, clean energy, advanced computing and bioscience**. These are the kinds of employers that bring not only high-paying jobs, but long-term economic stability. ## Scientific Power and R&D Partnerships New Mexico also benefits from an unparalleled concentration of scientific power. World-class research centers like **Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory** are anchoring billions of dollars in federal research and increasingly partnering with local businesses to translate research into commercial products, new companies and career pathways for New Mexicans. Growing companies like **UbiQD in Los Alamos, Descartes Labs in Santa Fe, and RS21 in Albuquerque** are just a few examples of what’s possible when federal R&D is paired with local innovation. ## The Energy Infrastructure Challenge But leading the next generation of technology requires more than talent and R&D. It requires **reliable, affordable energy**. Across the country, electricity prices are rising not because of AI or data centers, but because America has under-invested in its power grid for decades. Our aging infrastructure is forcing utilities to play catch-up, and our innovation ecosystem is paying the price. As one of the nation’s leaders in **wind and solar potential**, New Mexico is better positioned than almost any other state to support the growth of energy-intensive industries like data centers and AI development. With grid modernization already underway, we have a **once-in-a-generation opportunity** to build an energy backbone that supports innovation while keeping costs affordable for families and businesses. Across every sector, New Mexico continues moving forward. Whether it’s strengthening our workforce, deepening partnerships with the national labs or modernizing our energy infrastructure, New Mexico has proven that smart, proactive policy leads to measurable economic outcomes. New Mexico’s story shows what is possible when states take the lead: innovation thrives, jobs grow and communities benefit. As the national conversation continues, our example stands as a reminder that the future of America’s tech leadership won’t be written in Washington, but in states like New Mexico, where **collaboration, creativity and long-term thinking** are already shaping the next era of economic opportunity.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>newmexico</category> <category>techinnovation</category> <category>stem</category> <category>startups</category> <category>energyinfrastructure</category> <enclosure url="https://image.abqjournal.com/2938481.jpg?imageId=2938481&x=0&y=0&cropw=100&croph=100&panox=0&panoy=0&panow=100&panoh=100&width=1200&height=683" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Tech Exodus: How Nuclear License Loss Forces Medical Manufacturer to Relocate 200 High-Tech Jobs to USA and India]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/tech-exodus-how-nuclear-license-loss-forces-medical-manufacturer-to-relocate-200-high-tech-jobs-to-usa-and-india</link> <guid>tech-exodus-how-nuclear-license-loss-forces-medical-manufacturer-to-relocate-200-high-tech-jobs-to-usa-and-india</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Dec 2025 20:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[An Indian-origin businessman is being forced to relocate his medical manufacturing operations from Canada to the **United States and India** after surrendering a nuclear license, a move that will cost **hundreds of high-tech jobs**. ### The Business and Its Struggles Krishnan Suthanthiran, owner of **Best Theratronics**, a long-established medical manufacturer in Kanata (a high-tech suburb of Ottawa), said surrendering the license would lead to "the loss of 200 high-tech jobs." This decision comes after Canada’s nuclear regulator, the **Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC)**, took action over the company’s failure to meet license conditions. Best Theratronics was once a Crown agency and helped develop the **world’s first cancer treatment machine**. However, the company has struggled in recent years under private ownership. Suthanthiran said he has lost millions of dollars since buying the business from MDS Nordion in 2007. The firm also faced a **long labor dispute**, with workers striking for nearly 10 months over pay. ### Regulatory Actions and Financial Issues On Friday, the CNSC confirmed that Best Theratronics is in the process of removing the nuclear materials it used to manufacture cancer treatment devices. The company has secured export licenses to ship its **Cobalt 60 and Cesium 137 sealed sources** out of Canada. In November last year, the CNSC issued formal orders after discovering the company’s **financial guarantee had expired**. The regulator required Best Theratronics to set aside **$1.8 million** to cover potential cleanup costs if the site were to be decommissioned. Suthanthiran did not comply. He told CBC in October that the regulator was wrong and that he did not have the funds to restore the guarantee. Instead, he said he would abandon the nuclear license and shift the company towards **non-nuclear activities**. ### Relocation Plans and Deadlines In an email to CBC, Suthanthiran said the decision was forcing him "to relocate to the USA and India," and that the **cost of maintaining the nuclear license was too high**. The regulator has ordered the company to submit monthly updates on its progress. However, it missed a December reporting deadline. Company representative Manny Subramanian told the commission the delay was due to Suthanthiran being out of the country. "We ended up sending about a day late or two days late because Krish, the president of the company, was travelling. We couldn’t get ahold of him," Subramanian said. The next deadline comes on Tuesday, when Best Theratronics must submit an initial plan to decommission its Kanata plant.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>nuclearlicense</category> <category>jobrelocation</category> <category>medicalmanufacturing</category> <category>canadatech</category> <enclosure url="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-125963897,width-1070,height-580,imgsize-1277402,resizemode-75,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-500/photo.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[The AI Job Squeeze: Why Entry-Level Tech Roles Are Vanishing for Young Professionals]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/the-ai-job-squeeze-why-entry-level-tech-roles-are-vanishing-for-young-professionals</link> <guid>the-ai-job-squeeze-why-entry-level-tech-roles-are-vanishing-for-young-professionals</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2025 13:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[A new state comptroller’s report reveals a troubling reality for young adults in New York: despite being more educated than previous generations, they face unprecedented financial pressures from shrinking job markets, soaring housing costs, and mounting debt. ## More Educated, But Not More Secure Young adults in New York are significantly more educated than their predecessors, with nearly half of residents ages 26 to 34 holding a bachelor’s degree or higher. However, this educational achievement hasn't translated into economic stability. **Unemployment among young adults stood at 8.6% in 2023**, more than double the rate for those 35 and older. For those ages 18 to 25, unemployment climbed to **12.1%**. The disparity is even more pronounced across racial lines, with **Black and Hispanic young adults experiencing unemployment rates more than twice those of their white peers**. ## Entry-Level Jobs Are Shrinking The job market has fundamentally shifted beneath young workers' feet. Service and administrative roles—where young adults traditionally found entry-level opportunities—are projected to shrink in coming years. The report identifies **artificial intelligence as a key factor accelerating the decline in entry-level opportunities**, particularly in tech and office support jobs. Nationally, **entry-level tech jobs fell by 36% between 2020 and 2025**. Employers are increasingly favoring experienced workers when integrating AI, making it harder for new graduates and career changers to establish a foothold in the industry. ## Housing Costs Delay Independence Housing has emerged as one of the biggest barriers to financial independence for young adults. In 2023, **nearly one in four New Yorkers ages 26 to 34 lived with their parents**. Among those who rented, more than **35% spent over 30% of their income on rent and utilities**, crossing into "cost-burdened" territory. Homeownership is increasingly out of reach, with home prices in New York jumping **more than 50% since 2019**. Just **15.1% of young adults owned a home in 2023**, well below the national average. ## Debt Loads Keep Growing Young New Yorkers carry some of the highest student loan balances in the country, averaging just over **$30,300 per borrower**. Credit card debt among young people has **more than doubled nationally since 2013**, reflecting growing pressure from everyday expenses. Core costs like housing, food, and transportation have risen faster than incomes. Between 2018 and 2023, spending on these essentials increased by **nearly 40%**, far outpacing income growth. ## Disconnected Youth Still a Concern While the number has declined over the past decade, the report estimates **nearly 200,000 New Yorkers ages 18 to 25 were "disconnected" in 2023**, meaning they were neither working nor enrolled in school. Barriers such as childcare, transportation, and access to training continue to play a significant role, particularly in rural and lower-income communities. ## Warning Signs for the State's Future State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli warned that these trends could have long-term consequences for New York's workforce and economy. The report calls for policies focused on **affordability, housing supply, access to quality jobs, and workforce training** to help young adults achieve financial stability and upward mobility. Without intervention, many young New Yorkers may struggle to match the economic security of earlier generations, creating ripple effects throughout the state's economy and social fabric.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>career</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>millennials</category> <category>genz</category> <enclosure url="https://www.fingerlakes1.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Report-finds-young-New-Yorkers-squeezed-by-jobs-housing-and-debt.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[The Tech Job Market Crisis: What Really Happened in 2025?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/the-tech-job-market-crisis-what-really-happened-in-2025</link> <guid>the-tech-job-market-crisis-what-really-happened-in-2025</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2025 20:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Getty Images; Alyssa Powell/Business Insider* ## The Tech Job Market Breakdown **What the hell happened to the market for tech jobs?** This is the burning question on everyone's mind as we look back at 2025. The year that was supposed to bring stability after the pandemic turbulence instead delivered a seismic shift in the technology employment landscape. ### The Big Tech Hiring Crack Major players like **Amazon** and **Microsoft** have fundamentally changed their approach to hiring. What was once a steady stream of opportunities has become a trickle, with companies implementing hiring freezes, restructuring teams, and in some cases, conducting significant layoffs. The **"big tech" hiring spree** that defined previous years has come to an abrupt halt. ### The Changing Dynamics The market for tech jobs isn't just slowing down—it's transforming. Companies are becoming more selective, focusing on specialized skills rather than general technical abilities. The days of easy job-hopping with significant salary bumps appear to be over, at least for now. ### What This Means for Tech Professionals For those in the industry, this means adapting to a new reality. **Job security** can no longer be taken for granted, and continuous skill development has become more critical than ever. The focus has shifted from simply landing a tech job to maintaining relevance in a rapidly changing market. ### The Broader Impact This shift isn't just affecting individual careers—it's reshaping the entire technology ecosystem. Startups are finding it harder to attract talent from established companies, and the traditional career paths in tech are being redefined. *This analysis is based on Business Insider's comprehensive reporting on the state of the tech job market in 2025.*]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>techindustry</category> <category>career</category> <category>hiring</category> <enclosure url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D5612AQEfHX4Mu04-GQ/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/B56ZsPSsSmHAAI-/0/1765488117593?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=irDa5zyYmlTt8UxaB_Pn0QlvkakcVZl72lJPGu4wndk" length="0" type="image//dms/image/v2/D5612AQEfHX4Mu04-GQ/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/B56ZsPSsSmHAAI-/0/1765488117593"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[OpenAI Exec Reveals 3 Jobs on the Brink of AI Automation: Is Your Career Safe?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/openai-exec-reveals-3-jobs-on-the-brink-of-ai-automation-is-your-career-safe</link> <guid>openai-exec-reveals-3-jobs-on-the-brink-of-ai-automation-is-your-career-safe</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2025 13:15:18 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *OpenAI's head of business products flagged 3 jobs that could be automated in the next few years. (JULIEN DE ROSA/AFP via Getty Images)* ### Life Sciences and Pharma: The First Frontier **Olivier Godement**, head of product for business products at OpenAI, shared his insights on the "Unsupervised Learning" podcast, highlighting life sciences and pharmaceutical companies as his top pick for industries facing imminent change. "My bet is often on life sciences, pharma companies," Godement said, explaining that while drug design involves crucial research and experimentation, the **administrative processes** surrounding drug approval present a prime opportunity for automation. "The time it takes from once you lock the recipe of a drug to having that drug on the market is months, sometimes years," he noted. "Turns out the models are pretty good at that. They're pretty good at aggregating, consolidating tons of structured, unstructured data, spotting the different changes in documents." ### Software Engineering: Automation on the Horizon While complete automation of software engineering roles hasn't arrived yet, Godement sees a clear path forward. "The automation is probably not yet at the level of automating completely the job of a software engineer, but I think we have a line of sight essentially to get there," he stated. This perspective aligns with broader industry trends. An Indeed study from October found that **software engineers, quality assurance engineers, product managers, and project managers** were the four tech jobs most affected by recent layoffs and reorganizations. ### Customer Service and Sales: The Next Wave Godement also pointed to customer-oriented roles as ripe for automation, citing his work with telecommunications company T-Mobile. "I've been working a bunch with the folks at T-Mobile to essentially provide a better experience to their customers, and we're starting to achieve fairly good results in terms of quality at a meaningful scale," he explained. "My sense is we'll probably be surprised in the next year or two on the amount of tasks that can be automated reliably." ### The Broader Context: AI Leaders Weigh In Godement's observations reflect a growing consensus among AI experts about the vulnerability of certain white-collar positions. **Geoffrey Hinton**, often called the "Godfather of AI," has similarly warned about the automation potential for intellectual labor. "For mundane intellectual labor, AI is just going to replace everybody," Hinton said in a June podcast. He specifically identified paralegals as at risk and expressed concern for call center workers, stating he'd be "terrified" if he worked in such an environment. Hinton did offer some reassurance for those in physically demanding roles: "I'd say it's going to be a long time before it's as good at physical manipulation. So a good bet would be to be a plumber." ### The Timeline for Change While Godement acknowledges that we haven't reached a stage where "any white collar job" can be automated in just a day, he sees strong use cases emerging in coding and customer service. The coming years may bring surprising levels of automation across these fields, fundamentally reshaping how work is performed in these industries.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>automation</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>careers</category> <category>tech</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/693a53227ecd1d1da66356ca?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//693a53227ecd1d1da66356ca"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[President Tinubu's Vision: Building a Digital Workforce to Transform Nigeria's Economy]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/president-tinubus-vision-building-a-digital-workforce-to-transform-nigerias-economy</link> <guid>president-tinubus-vision-building-a-digital-workforce-to-transform-nigerias-economy</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2025 20:15:15 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## A Digital Workforce for Economic Transformation President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced on Thursday in Abuja that his administration is **laying the foundation for a digital workforce** to power Nigeria's economic transformation.

By investing in technology education and training, the government seeks to empower citizens with the tools needed for future jobs. ### Implications for the Tech Industry This move signals a commitment to **tech-driven growth**, potentially boosting sectors like software development, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. It aligns with global trends where digital literacy is becoming essential for economic success. ### Challenges and Opportunities While the vision is ambitious, implementing it will require collaboration between government, private sector, and educational institutions. Success could lead to **increased job creation** and a more resilient economy, but it must address issues like access to technology and training quality. Overall, this initiative represents a proactive step towards preparing Nigeria for the digital age, with potential ripple effects across various industries.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>digitalworkforce</category> <category>techeconomy</category> <category>nigeria</category> <category>innovation</category> <category>skillsdevelopment</category> <enclosure url="https://abs.twimg.com/rweb/ssr/default/v2/og/image.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[RxSense Expands to Dublin: 75 High-Value Tech Jobs Fueling AI-Powered Healthcare Innovation]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/rxsense-expands-to-dublin-75-high-value-tech-jobs-fueling-ai-powered-healthcare-innovation</link> <guid>rxsense-expands-to-dublin-75-high-value-tech-jobs-fueling-ai-powered-healthcare-innovation</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 10 Dec 2025 20:15:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## RxSense Opens First European Office in Dublin US health-tech company **RxSense** has officially launched its first European office in Dublin, announcing plans to create **75 full-time tech roles** over the next two years. This strategic expansion aims to leverage Ireland's renowned talent pool and innovation ecosystem to drive the company's growth and scale its US operations. ### Engineering and Product Focus The new Dublin-based team will primarily consist of **cross-functional squads** including scrum, delivery, product, UI/UX, and **full-stack engineers**.

"Everyone is so panicked — even our juniors. As the degree end nears, the anxiety is heightened among all of us." Some classmates consider pursuing higher education first, but Mishra warns, "After one year, if you return to the job market, your degree is even more irrelevant." ## The Global "Jobpocalypse" for Junior Developers Engineering students in India, China, Dubai, and Kenya face a **"jobpocalypse"** as AI automates tasks once handled by fresh graduates, such as debugging, testing, and routine software maintenance. According to a SignalFire report, global hiring of fresh graduates by big tech companies has **dropped by over 50%** in the last three years. Although hiring slightly rebounded in 2024, only 7% of new hires were recent graduates. Shockingly, 37% of managers prefer using AI over hiring Gen Z employees. > "Even highly credentialed engineering graduates are struggling to break into tech." EY reported that Indian IT services firms have **cut entry-level roles by 20–25%** due to automation and AI. Job platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Eures noted a **35% decline in junior tech positions** across major EU countries in 2024. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 warns that **40% of employers expect to reduce staff** where AI can automate tasks. ## From Bidding Wars to Vanishing Opportunities Vahid Haghzare, director at Silicon Valley Associates Recruitment in Dubai, recalls, "Five years ago, there was a real war for [coders and developers]. There was bidding to hire," with 90% of hires for off-the-shelf technical roles. Since AI's rise, "it has dropped dramatically. I don’t even think it’s touching 5%. It’s almost completely vanished." His firm headhunts from China, Singapore, and the U.K. While high-paying jobs at Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta are rare, companies hiring recent graduates now expect **"additional responsibilities,"** like project management or sales. "They have to face the customer and have customer communications and maybe even do some selling," Haghzare said. ## Shifting Ambitions and Skills Gaps Some students, like Nishant Kaushik, who studied computer science in eastern India, now seek roles in sales or marketing. **AI has made engineering degrees less relevant**, as workplace demands diverge from college curricula. Rita Sande Lukale, an electronics engineering student at the Technical University of Kenya, hoped for a system architecture role but has seen such positions disappear.  *Listen: Rita Sande Lukale describes how AI has replaced humans in simple repetitive tasks.* Entry-level jobs like data logging, system diagnostics, or code writing are now automated. Fresh graduates "must possess higher-level skills, necessary to understand algorithms and use engineering judgment to troubleshoot complex and automated systems," Lukale said. She doesn’t see AI as a "job destroyer" but notes it **fundamentally changes the type of engineers companies need**. Adaptation and continuous learning are essential. ## The Pressure to Upskill and Increase Output Liam Fallon, head of product at GoodSpace AI, explains that graduates must not only master latest tools but also **"up their output by 70% because 'they are using AI.'"** This forces students to upskill independently, as universities struggle to keep pace with AI-driven industry demands. Haghzare concludes that the traditional model—studying computer science for three to five years then job hunting—is **"not sustainable."** Students are "falling down a hole, and they don’t know how to get out of it."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>entrylevel</category> <category>automation</category> <category>careershift</category> <enclosure url="https://restofworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/AI-take-over_Green-300ppi-1600x900.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
