On March 30th, according to Sina Finance, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said in a speech to Harvard University economics students that although there are currently very few job opportunities being created, he remains optimistic about the medium and long-term employment prospects for American college graduates because the U.S. economy is the most vibrant and productive economy in the world. Powell stated that artificial intelligence tools will greatly improve the efficiency of employees who use these tools and urged them to invest time in mastering these technologies. "It is undeniable that entering the labor market now is a challenging period, but it may require some patience," Powell said.
