In 2025, the tech industry faces ongoing layoffs driven by economic pressures and the rise of artificial intelligence. Nearly 40% of Americans express concern that generative AI could reduce job availability. Studies show that significant portions of worker skills and tasks will be impacted by automation. Notably, 214,000 tech jobs were lost in April alone as companies transition towards roles that require AI skills. Industry experts, like Kye Mitchell from Experis US, argue that these layoffs mark an evolutionary shift in the job market, emphasizing the rise of new roles rather than outright job destruction.
He noted, "What we're witnessing is the emergence of strategic technology orchestrators who harness AI to drive unprecedented business value."
Kye Mitchell emphasized that although major layoffs are taking place, it signifies "market evolution" rather than traditional job loss, indicating a transformation in employment.
