> The wave of laid-off tech workers could prove to be an opportunity for automakers. That said, they’re hardly the only suitor looking to woo tech workers in need of employment. Demand for entry-level software engineers has surged in sectors like government, up 36% in Dec. 2022, compared to Jan. 2021, and construction, up 28% over the same period, according to data from Handshake, a job site that connects students and recent graduates with employers. Federal agencies such as the US Department of Veterans Affairs see this moment as a chance to snag talent that they’ve struggled to attract for years.
