🚨 US tech just hit a record no one on Wall Street wants to talk about.
16 straight months of job losses in the American tech sector.
That's the longest bleeding streak since the 2008 Financial Crisis.
Let that sink in.
While NVIDIA prints billions and AI valuations go parabolic… the actual humans who built Silicon Valley are getting cut. Month. After. Month.
The chart doesn't lie 2773K workers. Trending down. Hard.
This isn't a blip. This isn't a correction. This is structural displacement happening in real time.
The AI boom isn't creating a new tech workforce. It's replacing the old one and the data is screaming it.
Every ChatGPT wrapper that raises $50M means 3 fewer engineering teams at a legacy tech firm.
The productivity gains are real. The job losses are realer.
We were told AI would augment workers. The payroll data says: augment = eliminate.
The 2008 crisis took a financial collapse to do this kind of damage to tech employment.
This time? The sector did it to itself chasing a revolution it built but won't survive.
The AI age has a body count. It's just measured in spreadsheets, not headlines.
