The last 18 months have seen over 340K job layoffs in the technology and media sectors. Many CEOs blame the over hiring during pandemic and AI for these job cuts. I dont think AI has a lot to do with this.

This is inflation slowing down. After Covid CEO’s kept raising prices and were happy to keep over hired employees. With price rises no longer an option, they have to show earnings growth to keep their inflated stock up - which comes from job cuts. Stock valuations are not as high in other sectors.
