California has launched a first-in-the-nation AI job tracker showing no evidence of large-scale AI-related layoffs despite widespread AI adoption.

AI was supposed to kill engineering jobs, but new data suggests they're the most resilient. While tech layoffs hit their highest single month in years in May with AI as the top-cited reason, engineers comprised 55% of all new hires at major tech companies in 2025 - up from 46% in 2019. https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/24/ai-was-supposed-to-kill-engineering-jobs-but-new-data-suggests-theyre-the-most-resilient/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #Workforce

#Oracle laid off 21,000 #employees, nearly 13% of its #workforce, over the past year due to #AI related #restructuring. The company spent $1.8 billion on restructuring costs, including severance payments. This move aligns with broader industry trends, as tech giants like Meta, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon also face pressure to optimise their workforce for AI advancements. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/23/oracle-ai-job-cuts-layoffs-21000.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I hope that everyone remembers the #companies that callously chopped their #workforce when it seemed "#AI" could do the job.
And when the #bubble pops, and they come crying for help...
let
them
suffer
and
die.

"The #GOP-led House Committee on #Education and the #Workforce is also investigating the #union over #antisemitism, citing several of the same instances later outlined in the #BrandeisCenter complaint.
The #EEOC’s #NEA case is part of an expansion of the #Trump administration’s antisemitism investigations beyond college and K-12 campuses. Last week the U.S. Health and Human Services Department opened its own probe into the #American #Psychological Association, also based on a Brandeis Center complaint.
In addition to alleged harassment of #Jewish members at the convention, Miller said the center’s NEA complaint also involved diversity-based hiring practices at the union[...]"
In a former life I was something of a (small e) expert in labor movement strategy and giving the Trump admin ammunition to witch hunt you is just bad decision-making. This was completely foreseeable and totally avoidable.

Stockholm startup Fika Jobs has raised 4M USD in pre-seed funding to build a video-first hiring platform where AI agents interview candidates. Instead of traditional resumes, job seekers connect their LinkedIn profile and complete 10-minute AI-powered video interviews. The platform then turns responses into short video clips for employers to discover. https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/23/fika-jobs-raises-4m-to-build-a-video-first-hiring-platform-where-ai-agents-interview-candidates/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #Workforce

Oracle's idea of "embracing AI" apparently involves a massive game of musical chairs, with 21,000 employees left standing. 🤖💼 Because nothing says "futuristic innovation" like cutting a fifth of your #workforce while hoping some machine will magically save the day. 🎩✨
