This Week in Jobs: Stay ahead of the edge of change with these 25 tech career opportunities
This week in tech history saw one of the biggest, most world-changing launches in modern times, on scale with the invention of the light bulb, radio and automobile. And if you were around at the time, even as an adult, you probably didn't notice. On August 6, 1991, Tim Berners-Lee made the World Wide Web public. The internet and even websites did exist before that date, but there was no real way to navigate it. Pre WWW users either signed on (with their landline telephone) to bulletin board systems or, if they worked for an especially tech-forward company, to access an internal network. Everything was text based — no color display, photos or videos. If the average person saw it, it would have looked pretty boring. A few visionaries saw it as anything but boring, and they started building the digital world we live in today. The internet changed everything. With AI, we're standing at the edge of a similar change. We've been here before, and when it comes to jobs, be a visionary ready to build what comes next. The News AI-based resume scanners and productivity trackers can unwittingly discriminate against people with disabilities, but tools designed with accessibility in mind can level the field. University of Baltimore's Center for AI Learning and Community-Engaged Innovation will serve as a space where AI technology is not only studied, but actively applied to address local needs. The mid-Atlantic region has the potential to be a power region with the advent of AI, as the US tech economy starts to become less concentrated on the West Coast. With the boom in data centers, municipalities confront the impact of 'large load' customers on residents — and their electric bills. DC startup JotPsych builds AI tools for behavioral health, and just closed a $5M seed round. A growing 'nursineer' movement blends tech and medicine to fix healthcare from the inside. Philly-founded Melanated Women's Health, centered on culturally affirming care for communities often left out of traditional therapy models, is expanding across Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh and into neighboring states, New Jersey and Delaware.

It reminds us of the importance of digital literacy, responsible internet usage, and ensuring equal access for all. In an era dominated by AI, blockchain, and cloud computing, the web continues to evolve, shaping our future in unimaginable ways. Celebrating this day encourages people to appreciate the impact of the web on everyday life and explore its endless possibilities for learning, creativity, and collaboration.

Will Wolverine (WWW) Beat Estimates Again in Its Next Earnings Report?
Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Wolverine World Wide (WWW), which belongs to the Zacks Shoes and Retail Apparel industry. When looking at the last two reports, this footwear maker has recorded a strong streak of surpassing earnings estimates. The company has topped estimates by 33.04%, on average, in the last two quarters. For the most recent quarter, Wolverine was expected to post earnings of $0.18 per share, but it reported $0.11 per share instead, representing a surprise of 63.64%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.41 per share, while it actually produced $0.42 per share, a surprise of 2.44%. Price and EPS Surprise With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Wolverine. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank. Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Wolverine currently has an Earnings ESP of +5.75%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss. Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate. Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

WWE releases R-Truth after his contract expiration in his second tryst with the company
R-Truth (Image via WWE) WWE has released yet another star from the company, as revealed by R-Truth aka Ron Killings. The 53-year-old veteran was seen in a high-profile match against John Cena recently at the Saturday Night Main Event show, which he lost. He made another appearance after that on SmackDown, where he faced another loss at the hands of JC Mateo. And now, on June 1, 2025, he took to his social media account to inform everyone of his departure from the promotion. R-Truth announces his departure from WWE Seeing his "childhood hero" turn heel and getting to fight against him on the big stage was probably one of the best ways for R-Truth to say goodbye to the squared ring at WWE. He took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to reveal the news of his exit from the company. They had previously let him know that WWW would not be renewing his contract upon it expiring, which was his second tryst with the company. He thanked the company and his fans, "who was along for the ride," and "the love, support, and appreciation" he has gotten from everyone over the years. While it is sad indeed that Killings would be leaving the Stamford-based promotion after so many years, given that his "childhood hero" is currently on his "Farewell Tour," this is probably the best time for him to leave the company as well. Or at least something that he wants. Rhea Ripley comments on this "heartbreaking" news Rhea Ripley , one of the biggest stars in the company's current roster, is right there with the fans, who are understandably sad to see R-Truth leave. She left a sweet comment under Killings' post on X, sharing the fans' heartbreak over the recent revelation. She also thanked the wrestler, who has always been one of the biggest spots of fun and laughter within the company. She is not the only one; many other wrestling stars from different promotions have taken to their social media to thank R-Truth for everything he brought to the table. From Kelani Jordan, who is an NXT superstar, to fellow SmackDown star Carmelo Hayeys to AEW's RICOCHET, many have shared their thoughts on R-Truth after his exit was made public. Fans have also been thanking the WWE superstar for being one of the best parts of the company. Also Read: WWE couple Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio spark PDA buzz at Netflix event
