Younger workers are embracing career minimalism, in which they move between job opportunities rather than strive for upward mobility. The method could provide more security, flexibility and fulfillment.

Expect more office mandates and “microshifting” in 2026

Fearing AI job losses, some young workers in Britain shift towards skilled trades

Catarina Demony, Marissa Davison | Reuters

White-collar jobs are viewed as more vulnerable to disruption by AI and automation than manual labour.
