The sector is battling headwinds like climate change and immigration policies that affect labor dynamics, according to the report.

Obviously Trump's fault and Brandonomics is fixing all that.

This is really tiny - the labor market has 165 million jobs. Furthermore, these highly skilled workers will quickly find another job.

Trump stupidly claimed the stock market increases were his. He walked right into that one.
As Brad Sherman (D-CT) says, “We rolled them again!” Courtesy of the Stupid Party.

Actually it does. Workforce reductions are good news to investors. Stock price usually bounces up at the announcement.

“The impact of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence adoption is beginning to be felt from a jobs perspective, particularly in media and tech, but truly across sectors,” Challenger said. “That said, companies are not outright blaming AI for many layoff decisions.”

‘Cuz if they DID, AI could EASILY snuff them out. ;)

As a contractor maybe, but as FTE not so much anymore.

“Courtesy of the Stupid Party”

It’s not a recession.

We passed That with the Covid hoax. All you need to do is ride around any fair sized city and look at the homeless to understand what a democratic depression looks like.

Highly skilled at what? The same skills that other companies are laying off? Yes at least in Kalifornia they can land $20 burger flipping jobs.

All these folks without jobs or income this year should be thankful Joe tamed inflation and made things affordable for you.

If you are a programmer working at a tech company, you may have to take a job at a non-tech company, at a lower salary. From a hot new application at Google to data analytics at Walmart, well, it’s a job.

Nothing stupid about it. The stock market IS going up. Trump explained WHY it’s going up. Real wages and jobs, on the other hand, are going down.

Sounds like the Creative Writing majors working at BLS will be called on to put on their best performance to make January results look good. Time to earn that paycheck, folks!

It’s called Creative Destruction and it’s always been part of the cycle.
