💼 >1.5K More Pure-Play Quantum Jobs

Quantum-related job openings demonstrate significant growth from 2021 to 2024, with Pure-Play rising to 2,648 thousand and Partial-Play reaching 4,793 thousand despite a recent dip. Rising investments and the proliferation of quantum companies fuel this trend, creating a need for data scientists, quantum physicists, engineers, and software developers, as highlighted by Quantum Zeitgeist. Initiatives such as the US National Quantum Initiative Act, implemented by the US government, actively foster this sector's development.

⚕️ >15% Decline in US Healthcare Coverage

From a peak of over 93M Medicaid/CHIP enrollees in 2023, national enrollment fell to 78M in 2025, a decline of 16%. This sharp decline followed the end of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act’s continuous enrollment provision and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. This allowed states to resume eligibility redeterminations and disenrollments starting April 2023 triggering widespread loss of healthcare coverage.

🤖 AI Chip Energy Use per Computation Dropped by 15%

Despite a 100% drop in AI chip energy use per computation from 2008 to 2023, the rise in AI workloads has driven massive growth in data center installations. Data centers now consume about 1.5% of global electricity, with demand increasing by 12% annually. Electricity needs are projected to more than double by 2030 due to continuous server operation and intensive cooling systems. To address this, innovations like light-powered neural processing units and the rise of renewables, expected to sustain the demand as well.
