From Union to AI: The Future of SF Jobs
Advertisement
What will work look like in SF’s near future? Join The Frisc for a frank discussion about our city’s job prospects and economic revival.
About this Event

Daniel Lurie is doing his best Instagram cheerleading, but San Francisco’s civic recovery is no sure thing. Downtown offices are more than a third empty. AI is booming but could soon make all kinds of local jobs obsolete. Meanwhile unions are organizing against City Hall rollbacks, which Trump cuts threaten to make even worse. 

Tech, healthcare, civil service, construction, and more: What are SF’s jobs of the near-future? How can we rebuild a local economy under so much pressure? Join SPUR chief policy officer Sujata Srivastava, journalist Jonathan Weber, whose new book City on the Edge details 30 years of tech’s influence on SF, and The Frisc editor Alex Lash for frank talk about the future of work in our city.
