AI Reshaping Hiring and Job Cuts

AI Reshaping Hiring and Job Cuts

Companies are using more AI, which is changing how they hire and fire people.

AI is taking over routine jobs, so companies are looking for people with AI skills.

This means more people are being laid off in some areas, like hardware and retail, while others, like AI talent, are in high demand.

In 2025, the number of layoffs per company went up, even though the total number of layoffs went down.

Countries like India are seeing a lot of AI hiring and wage growth in AI-related jobs.

However, there's also a lot of competition to keep AI talent, with many people moving to other countries for AI jobs.
