Reduced demand in tech due to constraints of capital, and increased demand in agricultural and low wage jobs where immigrant labor was significant.
But funny enough, we can't just ship 100k software developers from the bay to the central valley and it just work.

- ebiester 1y agoDo you have any idea of how much money has gone into this already? Agriculture is an awful job. It's at the top of the list of jobs we would love to completely automate. It turns out it's a hard problem because computer vision is hard, and we've had a lot of agtech investment already.
- h2zizzle 1y ago>Reduced demand in tech due to constraints of capital That's it, really. All the "hiring" money is being spent on building data centers, at least in the US tech field. Better hope AGI is really around the corner, or that's a lot of money chasing nothing that could have been put to productive use.
