It's a Numbers Game: The Numbers Behind America’s Tech Economy, AI Disruption, and the Millennial Wealth Gap

In this episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan sits down with Rep. Ro Khanna of California’s tech-driven 17th District for a data-focused look at the forces reshaping America’s economy. They examine the mounting financial pressures on millennials and Gen Z—from soaring housing costs to the accelerating impact of AI on traditional career paths. Khanna advocates for progressive solutions like a “New Deal for AI” and expanded apprenticeship programs, while Ryan presses concerns about immigration policy, failing education systems, and the widening inequality threatening upward mobility. The conversation explores how the U.S. can harness innovation while ensuring workers aren’t left behind in a rapidly changing technological era.
