Tech Job Market Is Shrinking as AI Reshapes Industry Requirements
Posted by msmash on Tuesday May 20, 2025 @08:00AM from the state-of-affairs dept.
The US tech sector shed 214,000 jobs in April amid continuing economic uncertainty, according to CompTIA analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Companies are extending hiring timelines to two or three times longer than last year while significantly raising skill requirements, particularly for AI competencies.
"It's the great hesitation," said George Denlinger of Robert Half, noting employers now demand 10-12 skills instead of 6-7 previously. Entry-level programming positions are disappearing as AI assumes those functions, with Janco Associates CEO Victor Janulaitis observing that "a job that has been eliminated from almost all IT departments is an entry-level IT programmer."
Saludos.
Han vendido la piel del oso demasiado pronto. Eliminar a los novatos en programación en algún momento provocará que falten experimentados.
Pero los engominados que han tomado hoy esa decisión, mañana vaya usted a saber dónde andarán.
