This makes me sick for the future of the workforce.


Let's recap all the recent AI layoffs.
Yeah, it's worse than you think....
• Entry-level tech postings: down -67% in one year.
• 13% employment drop for 22-25 year-olds in AI-exposed jobs since late 2022
• 79,449 confirmed AI layoffs through January 2026 (these are only the ones companies admitted to)
• AI was responsible for nearly 55,000 U.S. layoffs in 2025 - 12x the number attributed to AI just two years earlier
• 1.17 million total US job cuts in 2025 (highest since COVID 2020)
• MIT study found AI can already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market ($1.2T in lost wages)
