Concedieri în Big Tech: aproape 140.000 de locuri de muncă eliminate în 2026

American tech companies have cut nearly 140,000 jobs in 2026, despite record AI spending, with major firms like Amazon and Microsoft leading the layoffs. The tech sector accounts for over a third of total layoffs in the U.S. this year. While the job market remains resilient overall, these layoffs reflect a shift in investment towards AI infrastructure. Companies are restructuring and reducing staff to balance previous hiring surges. Some firms attribute layoffs to AI productivity gains, but this justification is questioned by academics. Despite the layoffs, AI-focused startups are rapidly hiring, mitigating the overall impact on the tech industry.
