The uptick in Indeed job listings is not a reliable indicator of job growth. AI has simply made it easier to render JDs and screen candidates at scale. Wouldn't it be expected that software companies would be better at leveraging the tech to create more job listings?

Tell that to all the other ceo and management who sees and in a lot of cases already acting on ai as an employee replacement tool.

Even having an optimistic view of this will automate away jobs people don’t want to do… well those people do that job to make a pay check and healthcare. And in the USA healthcare is tied to you being employed

Good luck. Hope you don’t get cancer.

But reality never takes the optimistic view. Everything turns to Enshitification as history shows. Especially with people like Sam running the show. He isn’t just gonna wake up one day and really give a shit about humanity.
