During a<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU3E8r0n27w&amp;t=20s"> conversation</a> at Hamilton College in Upstate New York on April 3, former President Barack Obama warned that AI can now outperform &#8220;60–70% of programmers,&#8221; suggesting that only &#8220;the best coders&#8221; will survive the coming wave of automation.&nbsp;
As AI&#8217;s reach moves beyond traditional manufacturing and into knowledge-based industries, experts believe workers across all fields must rethink their roles.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.30/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Is Rewriting the Rules of Work</h2>
During the Hamilton College event, Obama shared that AI is transforming industries far beyond expectations. &#8220;Already, the current models of AI are not necessarily the ones that you purchase or that you just get through the retail ChatGPT, but the more advanced models that are available now to companies,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;
He emphasized that while top-tier coders will still thrive by integrating AI tools into their work, many standard coding tasks will be automated. &#8220;You just won&#8217;t need a coder,&#8221; he said.
Obama&#8217;s comments align with broader warnings from industry leaders. At the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pm2xEViNIo"> 2024 World Government Summit</a> in Dubai, Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang stated, &#8220;Almost everybody would tell you it is vital that your children learn computer science or how to program. In fact, it&#8217;s almost exactly the opposite.&#8221;&nbsp;
Trending: Nancy Pelosi Invested $5 Million In An AI Company Last Year — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-ym?v=123">Here's How You Can Invest In Multiple Pre-IPO AI Startups With Just $1,000.</a>
Huang said that AI is closing the technology gap, making everyone capable of using technology without needing to learn traditional programming. He reiterated that coding may be losing relevance as AI becomes capable of handling programming tasks.&nbsp;
He also encouraged the next generation to explore other fields. &#8220;The countries, the people that understand how to solve a domain problem in digital biology or education of young people or in manufacturing or farming," he said. "Those who understand domain expertise now can utilize [coding] technology that is readily available to you.&#8221;&nbsp;
Adding another viewpoint, Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Bill Gates<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHY5i9-0tJM"> discussed</a> the impact of artificial intelligence on the job market during an interview on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon&#8221; in March.&nbsp;
&#8220;The era that we&#8217;re just starting is that intelligence is rare. You know, a great doctor, a great teacher. And with AI, over the next decade, will become free, commonplace,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;

Gates predicted that AI would replace humans for most tasks within a decade, but not all. &#8220;There&#8217;ll be some things we reserve for ourselves,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We won&#8217;t want to watch computers play baseball.&#8221;
Employers across finance and tech are also shifting their hiring priorities. As<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-software-engineers-ai-career-advice-finance-technologists-2025-4"> Business Insider</a> reported in April, firms like Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) are now seeking engineers with strong business acumen and experience working alongside AI technologies, emphasizing skills such as prompt engineering.
Statistics further show the magnitude of the shift. Over the past two years, more than 27% of U.S. computer programming jobs have disappeared, according to a March analysis from <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/03/14/programming-jobs-lost-artificial-intelligence/">The Washington Post</a>.&nbsp;
Much of this decline has been attributed to AI&#8217;s ability to perform routine coding tasks more efficiently than human <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43501133/suze-orman-sounds-alarm-on-retirement-readiness-40-of-retirees-lack-3-months-savings-heres-how-to-avoid-financial-risk">workers</a>.
Despite these changes, the human role in coding is not entirely vanishing. The<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-ai-tools-are-reshaping-the-coding-workforce-6ad24c86"> Wall Street Journal</a> reported that AI tools increasingly take over repetitive work, allowing human coders to focus on creative problem-solving, oversight, and complex systems architecture.

Obama Says Only 'The Best Coders' Will Survive As AI Takes Over 60%–70% Of Programming Jobs — 'You Just Won't Need A Coder'

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45164558/us-adds-177000-jobs-in-april-topping-forecasts-as-economy-navigates-tariff-impact">April U.S. employment report </a>brought a welcome economic balancing act. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 177,000, beating comfortably the 130,000 forecast by economists and almost doubling the 90,000 predicted by Kalshi betting markets. 
Average hourly earnings, however, slowed to 0.2% month-over-month from 0.3% in March, barely missing consensus forecasts.
The outcome? A tight labor market without overheating provides the Federal Reserve and markets a bit more room to breathe. For the financial sector in particular, an unusually favorable balance of stability and opportunity has emerged from the current conditions.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Watch: Who Wins?</h1>
With job growth still being maintained but wage pressures dissipating, a number of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">financial sector ETFs</a> may ride the macro tailwinds:
Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>)
The heavyweight of financial ETFs, XLF follows blue-chip stocks such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), and Goldman Sachs Group Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>). Sectoral employment growth in financial activities (continued growth in April) indicates underlying strength, and subdued wage growth increases profitability and cools inflation risk, a net benefit to big banks with wide exposure.
SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBE#NYSE">KBE</a>) Thie ETF provides equal-weighted exposure to large as well as regional banks. With the slower wage growth, consumer spending might be hit, forcing prices down (read: inflation). The Fed might consider continuing the pause, or even turn back on, rate increases. Regional banks could feel the boost of a rebound in loan demand and reduced funding costs.
Invesco KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBWD#NASDAQ">KBWD</a>) This ETF has a tilt toward high-yielding financials such as REITs and business development companies. Lower inflation expectations render its dividend-rich holdings more appealing in real terms, while decelerating wage inflation contributes to supporting payout sustainability.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Labor Market Arrangement Works For Financials</h1>
The market response isn&#8217;t all about employment numbers, it&#8217;s about the &#8220;goldilocks&#8221; combination they generate.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Reduced Inflation Expectations: Slower wage growth typically means softer consumer spending, which then lowers inflationary pressure. That&#8217;s a good thing for banks, which rely on stable inflation to inform lending decisions and determine interest rate margins.</li>
<li>More Favorable Rate Outlook: If the Fed perceives wages moderating, it might delay further rate increases, or even begin lowering them. For banks, declining interest rates can fuel a flood of new consumer debt, mortgage requests and corporate loans — the stuff of bank profits.</li>
<li>Firming Corporate Margins: Slower wage growth equals lower input costs. That&#8217;s a good thing for banks, and any financial institution with exposure to corporate bonds or equity markets, too. Higher margins lower credit risk and increase investment returns.</li>
<li>Lower Labor Costs: Yes, even the financial industry experiences wage pressure. With labor expenses stabilizing, internal margins rise, providing CFOs and asset managers with more room to breathe. </li>
</ul>
The Macro Signal: Stability Without Stagnation
April&#8217;s figures indicate a labor market that&#8217;s strong in all the right areas. Health care, transportation, and finance created jobs, while government payrolls declined as it restructures. The unemployment rate remained at 4.2%, indicating labor demand remains robust, even as the Fed&#8217;s inflation battle slows the wage engine.
For investors, it is time to re-examine where the smart money goes next. With an economy that continues to grow but inflation retrenches, financial ETFs might be quietly positioning for outperformance — particularly those well-situated to profit from increasing credit activity, more stable margins, and leaner labor expenses.
The market did not roar following the jobs report — but it did not need to. For financials, a subtle beat might reverberate louder than any rally.

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.
