AI didn't cause the tech jobs bust, but it explains the missing recovery

Original: AI didn't cause the tech jobs bust, but it explains why there's no recovery

A new essay argues that artificial intelligence is not the main cause of the tech industry's hiring slump, which had already begun as companies over-hired during the pandemic and later cut costs. However, AI is now being used as a justification for keeping headcount flat, letting firms do more with fewer engineers and delaying any rebound in tech employment.

Why now: Tech workers and industry watchers are debating why hiring has not rebounded despite the sector's overall recovery.
