From google AI (who knows how accurate this stuff is)
"The unemployment rate in the tech industry fluctuates, but has recently seen an increase. In April, the tech unemployment rate rose to 3.5%, up from 3.1% the previous month, despite the overall national unemployment rate remaining unchanged at 4.2%, according to Computerworld."

The tech industry was already running lean before AI hit big, I remember they (industry) was laying off 10's of thousands of tech workers per month around 2022-ish. If anything this tulip mania gave a bunch of them reason to stay employed and stopped the bleeding.
Right now it's not AI in my industry. Business is down because of uncertainty (president is erratic, tariffs, etc) and the post covid recovery has cooled. People are quitting/transferring/retiring and not being replaced at the same rate.

There is some truth to the supply / demand problem. I think computer science is one of the most popular majors in the US. Although, like half of everybody in my classes are Chinese international students so idk how that factors in if they’re not citizens.
