AI didn't cause the tech jobs bust, but it blocks recovery
Original: AI didn't cause the tech jobs bust, but it explains why there's no recovery
Tech employment has been slumping since its post-pandemic peak, and a widely shared essay argues that artificial intelligence is not the original culprit. The decline reflects earlier factors such as over-hiring, interest rates and the end of cheap money. But AI now explains why the sector is not bouncing back: companies are absorbing productivity gains and restructuring around automation instead of rehiring, leaving laid-off engineers with fewer openings than in past recoveries.
Why now: The tech industry's hiring slump is dragging on while AI adoption accelerates, making the link between the two a live debate among workers and analysts.
