It will create jobs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks came amid Dimon\u2019s broader, and considerably more cautious, read on the economy. He described the outlook as \u201cpretty good\u201d but flagged rising inflation as the clearest near-term risk, warning that his probabilities of a worse outcome are higher than others\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>Asked about the Nasdaq\u2019s 28% surge since late March, Dimon said he wasn\u2019t surprised but stopped well short of enthusiasm: \u201cI actually think it\u2019s a huge intellectual error to say, here\u2019s my base case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As anxiety has mounted about depressed entry-level hiring, with Gen Z crowds even booing luminaries such as Eric Schmidt amid commencement speeches touting AI, Dimon has given warm but blunt advice to ambitious young workers. Developing an emotional quotient, communicating succinctly, and staying in the office have all been themes of Dimon\u2019s prescription for future career success. \u201cThere\u2019s going to be a grunt part to every part of a job,\u201d he said in April. \u201cGet over it.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>To Dimon\u2019s point, academics are started to debate whether remote work has been a bigger drag on entry-level hiring than AI, and Apollo Global Management\u2019s Torsten Slok asserted on Friday that he sees \u201czero evidence\u201d of job loss related specifically to AI. In fact, it\u2019s been quite the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>When Mamdani was still a mayoral candidate last October, Dimon made a pledge at <em>Fortune<\/em>\u2018s Most Powerful Women Summit that drew considerable attention. Asked by <em>Fortune<\/em> Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell what he would do if the 34-year-old Democratic socialist won, Dimon was direct: \u201cIf he becomes mayor, I will call him and offer my help.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He followed through. Earlier this month, the two sat down at JPMorgan\u2019s gleaming new 270 Park Avenue headquarters \u2014 part of a broader Wall Street outreach tour Mamdani undertook after facing criticism over his tax proposals, which also included meetings with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon and Blackstone\u2019s Jonathan Gray. The criticism grew heated following Mamdani\u2019s viral video outside hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin\u2019s $238 million penthouse, with Griffin himself arguing that it was out of bounds.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A JPMorgan spokesperson described Mamdani\u2019s first face-to-face with Dimon as \u201cconstructive\u201d and Dimon told Bartiromo that was true. \u201cI had a great meeting with Mamdani,\u201d he said, \u201cmeaning it\u2019s pleasant, but I said everything I want to say.\u201d Dimon explained that he walked the mayor through his view of how cities compete: on taxes, on crime, on sanitation, on schools. \u201cQuality of life has nothing to do with ideology,\u201d Dimon said, stressing both that \u201cI want him to succeed\u201d and \u201cmy opinion was made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=310\">Anthropic leapfrogs OpenAI with a record $965 billion valuation and says its \u2018Mythos\u2019 AI model is coming soon<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen mayors grow into the job,\u201d Dimon said, while noting that Mamdani \u201chas never had a job like that.\u201d State records show the city employed roughly 300,000 people as of the end of 2024. <\/p>\n<p>He said that Mamdani was \u201cvery polite\u201d and \u201cvery earnest,\u201d and they discussed affordable housing and childcare, both in terms of what people want and how easy it is to accomplish. \u201cMost people want it. If you do it badly, it will be a disaster. The thing is, do it right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Bartiromo raised Mamdani\u2019s widely criticized video outside Griffin\u2019s home, Dimon agreed it was a security concern. \u201cMy guess is he probably regrets that,\u201d he said, \u201cbut you\u2019ve got to ask him that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Affordable housing as common ground<\/h2>\n<p>One area where Dimon and Mamdani may find at least partial overlap: housing. Dimon used Friday\u2019s interview to again call for sweeping regulatory reform, arguing that the housing shortage is almost entirely a policy failure: zoning restrictions, redundant building codes, permitting delays. He argued those changes alone could reduce mortgage costs by 50 basis points.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe law that holds back housing is policy,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s bad local policy or state policy or sometimes federal policy that needs to be changed.\u201d JPMorgan, he said, plans to double its affordable housing footprint within five years and expand small business financing from 7 million to 10 million customers as part of its broader American Dream Initiative, launched in March.<\/p>\n<p>For graduates entering that environment \u2014 with stretched housing costs, a jobs market in flux, and AI reshaping entire industries \u2014 Dimon\u2019s counsel was simple and almost old-fashioned: work hard, read daily, find your purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tell people,\u201d he said, \u201cthe notion that somehow I go and I can coast \u2014 I can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>For this story,\u00a0<\/em>Fortune<em>\u00a0journalists used generative AI as a research tool.
