Tech layoffs are up 36% YoY and positions are less than half of what they were last year. The 10k number for “due to AI” seems to be a newly tracked option, since its up 10k from last month.

Tech layoffs are at least in part due to the change in R&D deductions on corporate taxes, a software dev is much more expensive now than a couple years ago. (Trump 1 tax code change kicking in recently.) AI is a fig leaf in many cases.

The report doesn’t even provide its methodology. I’d be deeply suspect.
