## 💼 >1.5K More Pure-Play Quantum Jobs

[![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2025/06/HolonIQ_Quantum_related_openings_by_organization_type_2024_Thousands_of_Openings_HCH1QXY4JHINSRRBID8V.png)](https://index.holoniq.com/charts/HCH1QXY4JHINSRRBID8V?ref=newsletters.qs.com)

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 ](https://www.rdworldonline.com/quantum-industry-sees-rapid-growth-in-2025-report-finds/?ref=newsletters.qs.com)fuel this trend, creating a need for data scientists, quantum physicists, engineers, and software developers, as highlighted by [Quantum Zeitgeist](https://quantumzeitgeist.com/skills-required-to-work-in-quantum-technology/?ref=newsletters.qs.com). Initiatives such as the US [National Quantum Initiative Act,](https://www.quantum.gov/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) 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](https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6201?ref=newsletters.qs.com)’s continuous enrollment provision and the [Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023](https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47821?ref=newsletters.qs.com#:~:text=The%20CAA%202023%20extends%20numerous,spousal%20impoverishment%20protections%20through%20FY2027.). 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](https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-and-ai/executive-summary?ref=newsletters.qs.com). 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](https://www.livescience.com/technology/computing/worlds-first-light-powered-neural-processing-units-npus-could-massively-reduce-energy-consumption-in-ai-data-centers?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and the rise of renewables, expected to sustain the demand as well.
