This market movement has important implications for IT professionals and investors, particularly those with exposure to US equities. ## What Drove the Market Downturn: Tech, Jobs, and Crypto **Mega-cap tech weakness** set the tone as investors rotated away from expensive growth stocks. Communication services and semiconductor sectors saw profit-taking after a strong run, amplifying the downward pressure on the Nasdaq. Despite ongoing **AI optimism**, it wasn't enough to offset earnings resets, leading to cautious positioning ahead of the long weekend. **Softer jobs signals** hinted at cooling economic momentum, creating uncertainty about future profit growth and policy direction. While a slower labor market could ease inflation concerns, it also challenges revenue growth for cyclical sectors. Markets are now weighing whether **earnings momentum** can offset these softer macroeconomic inputs. ## Sector Performance: Tech Takes a Hit **Qualcomm, Alphabet, and Estée Lauder** led the declines, reflecting pressure in smartphones, advertising demand, and discretionary spending. Communication services weakness dragged down broader market sentiment, reinforcing the negative trend for tech-heavy indices. In contrast, some **healthcare and infrastructure names** showed relative resilience. McKesson and Broadcom emerged as relative winners, supported by cash flow visibility and continued **AI infrastructure spending**. The Dow Jones held up better at times due to value and defensive tilts, though market breadth remained soft overall. ## Technical Analysis: Market Momentum Cools Technical indicators show **weakening momentum** for the S&P 500: - **RSI at 43.59** (below the neutral 50 line) - **ADX at 14.55** (indicating no strong trend) - **MACD at -3.40** (showing negative crossover pressure) - **CCI at -132.61** (in oversold territory) - **Williams %R at -74.77** (confirming fragile momentum) These indicators point to **choppy trading conditions** and heightened sensitivity to market headlines. The **ATR of 83.21** implies wider daily trading ranges, while Bollinger Bands highlight potential downside tests if selling pressure persists. ## Implications for IT Professionals and Investors For those in the **tech industry** with USD-denominated holdings or exposure to US equities, this volatility requires careful consideration: 1. **Review your portfolio allocation** - Ensure your US equity funds are appropriately hedged for currency exposure 2. **Maintain strategic weights** rather than chasing short-term market moves 3. **If using regular savings plans**, maintain consistent schedules despite market fluctuations 4. **Traders should review stop levels** given the higher average true range 5. **Monitor crypto-linked spillovers** from the bitcoin plunge Our system gives the index a **C+ grade with a HOLD recommendation**, reflecting a score of 58.41. Model baselines suggest 1-3 month levels near 6561-6718 and a 12-month path around 6994, though this is subject to economic data changes. ## Key Focus Areas Moving Forward **Earnings beats, margin guidance, and employment data** will be critical drivers in the coming weeks. Maintain **diversification** across sectors and define your risk parameters before adding new exposure. For those investing through monthly plans, **discipline is essential**. Traders might consider scaling entries near support levels and trimming positions during strength periods. Keep a close watch on **sector dispersion**, particularly in **mega-cap tech, healthcare, and AI infrastructure**. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Why is the S&P 500 under pressure today?** Weak tech performance, softer labor signals, and a bitcoin plunge have dampened risk appetite. Communication services and semiconductors led declines as investors took profits after a strong run. **How did Nasdaq and Dow Jones compare?** Nasdaq was down significantly due to mega-cap tech and communication services weakness. Dow Jones was more mixed thanks to value and defensive tilts, with some healthcare and infrastructure plays showing relative resilience. **What technical levels matter for the S&P 500?** RSI near 43 and ADX near 15 suggest weak momentum and no strong trend. Watch the Bollinger middle band around 6914, the lower band near 6800, and the Keltner lower near 6740. **What should investors do now?** Review USD exposure, ensure diversification, and avoid reacting to single-day moves. If using dollar-cost averaging plans, stay the course. Traders should set clear stops given higher ATR and consider scaling around support levels.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techstocks</category> <category>marketvolatility</category> <category>investing</category> <category>itcareers</category> <category>bitcoin</category> <enclosure url="https://blog-meyka-wordpress.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/featured_image-7963.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI's Impact on Your Career: Which Jobs Are Most Exposed to Generative AI According to Microsoft Research?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ais-impact-on-your-career-which-jobs-are-most-exposed-to-generative-ai-according-to-microsoft-research</link> <guid>ais-impact-on-your-career-which-jobs-are-most-exposed-to-generative-ai-according-to-microsoft-research</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2026 20:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Jobs Most Exposed to Generative AI, According to Microsoft As generative AI tools become more capable, an increasing number of tasks across various occupations are becoming subject to AI automation. To better understand this shift, **Microsoft Research** analyzed the applicability of AI to real-world tasks by studying over 200,000 anonymized conversations with Microsoft Bing Copilot from January to September 2024. ### Key Takeaways - **Language-heavy and information-based roles** rank as the most exposed to generative AI, according to Microsoft’s recent research. - **Interpreters, historians, writers, and customer service roles** show the highest AI applicability scores. - Exposure does not equal replacement, and many roles are more likely to be **augmented with AI**. ### How Microsoft Measured AI Exposure Microsoft assessed AI exposure using three indicators derived from Copilot usage: - **Coverage:** How frequently tasks associated with a job appear in Copilot conversations - **Completion:** How often Copilot successfully completes those tasks - **Overall AI Applicability Score:** A combined measure of how suitable AI is for supporting or performing tasks in a given role Importantly, a high applicability score does not necessarily imply that a job can be fully automated or displaced. Instead, it shows that a large share of the tasks within a job role can be assisted or successfully completed by generative AI. ### Which Jobs Are Most Exposed to AI? Jobs with high AI applicability scores tend to cover areas where generative AI already performs well, including **language processing, research, summarization, and communication**. For interpreters and translators, the coverage score of **0.98** shows that tasks related to these roles appear very frequently in Copilot conversations, while the high completion score of **0.88** indicates that AI can successfully handle many of them. As a result, these roles have the highest overall AI applicability score, at **0.49**. Historians and writing-related roles also appear near the top of the ranking. Similarly, AI chat systems already handle many of the tasks seen in customer-facing roles such as sales representatives, customer service agents, telemarketers, and concierges. While creative and communication-based jobs dominate the top of the list, technical roles like **data scientists, web developers, management analysts, and market research analysts** also show moderate to high AI applicability. Interestingly, across all 40 of the most-exposed jobs, the completion score averages **0.87**—showing that AI (in this case, Copilot) is capable of successfully completing most tasks that are assigned to it in conversations. ### AI Exposure Doesn’t Mean Job Elimination Many of the most exposed jobs involve judgment, creativity, or human interaction, where AI functions as a complement rather than a substitute. In practice, generative AI is more likely to **increase the productivity** of each worker rather than eliminate entire roles. That said, jobs with repetitive and standardized tasks may see faster transformation as AI tools become more ingrained in daily work. By contrast, roles that require physical effort and on-the-spot human judgment, including machine operators, repair workers, and caregivers, remain far less exposed to AI, since these tasks are still difficult to automate.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>generativeai</category> <category>microsoft</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>automation</category> <enclosure url="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/data-and-ai-jobs-by-state-share.webp" length="0" type="image/webp"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[IBM Defies AI Job Apocalypse: Tripling Entry-Level Hires in 2026 While Others Cut Back]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ibm-defies-ai-job-apocalypse-tripling-entry-level-hires-in-2026-while-others-cut-back</link> <guid>ibm-defies-ai-job-apocalypse-tripling-entry-level-hires-in-2026-while-others-cut-back</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Feb 2026 20:15:24 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *(Image credit: Getty Images / Bloomberg)* ## IBM's Bold Hiring Strategy **IBM** is making a surprising move in the tech industry by **tripling its entry-level hiring in the U.S. for 2026**. This stands in stark contrast to many other major tech firms that have been conducting large-scale layoffs, often citing AI efficiency savings as the reason. According to a Bloomberg report, IBM is bucking the wider industry trend with this aggressive hiring plan. ## The Human Touch in an AI World Speaking at the 2026 Leading with AI summit in New York, IBM’s chief human resources officer, **Nickle LaMoreaux**, explained the company's reasoning. She described the false economy of layoffs in a world of AI-driven innovation, warning that reducing entry-level hiring might create a longer-term scarcity of mid-level managers and experienced workers. “**The entry-level jobs that you had two to three years ago, AI can do most of them**,” LaMoreaux told attendees. “So, if you’re going to convince your business leaders that you need to make this investment, then you need to be able to show the real value these individuals can bring now. And that has to be through totally different jobs.” She emphasized that while AI can handle many tasks, workers would focus on the **human aspects** of these roles. ## The Wider Industry Trends  *(Image credit: IBM)* The past few years have seen increasing layoffs across major industries, with many companies claiming AI-driven efficiency as the reason. However, some studies suggest these layoffs may be more about “**AI washing**” than genuine AI innovation. Entry-level positions, particularly in programming, are being squeezed by new AI capabilities, reducing opportunities for new graduates. This threatens to collapse the supply chain of experienced workers that every industry needs for continued development and innovation. Industry leaders like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have claimed that **up to half of entry-level jobs may vanish by 2030**, while Microsoft’s head of AI has suggested white-collar jobs could disappear in less than two years. ## Not Isolated Thinking IBM CEO Arvind Krishna reinforced this approach, telling CNN in October: “People are talking about either layoffs or freezing hiring, but I actually want to say that we are the opposite. I expect we are probably going to hire more people out of college over the next 12 months than we have in the past few years.” Other companies are recognizing the **AI nativism of younger workers** as a strength. Melanie Rosenwasser, chief people officer at Dropbox, said at the same summit: “It’s like they’re biking in the Tour de France and the rest of us still have training wheels. Honestly, that’s how much they’re lapping us in proficiency.” Dropbox is expanding its internship and graduate training programs by **25% in 2026** to leverage younger workers' AI capabilities. The company has prioritized a “**Virtual First**” culture for the past five years, encouraging remote work to focus on talent over physical location. Other companies like Mozilla, Hubspot, Crowdstrike, Zapier, and Spotify are adopting similar remote-first approaches, giving them a competitive advantage for attracting remote-first workers. ## The Uncertain Future of Labor There’s an emerging dichotomy in the future of employment between those developing AI and those looking to use it. Companies driving AI forward—like Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI—are warning about massive job displacement, even though **none of them are making any profit with AI**. However, companies without a profit incentive to promote AI as everything seem to feel differently. For IBM and Dropbox, **AI isn’t going to make work redundant; it’s going to change it**, similar to previous automation waves throughout history. Even Anthropic is hiring human SEO experts, suggesting that **the smartest bet still seems to be on people**, though the ultimate outcome remains uncertain. *Jon Martindale is a contributing writer for Tom's Hardware with 20 years of experience covering PC components, emerging technologies, and software advances.*]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ibm</category> <category>ai</category> <category>hiring</category> <category>entrylevel</category> <category>remotework</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/b7XetKysCm2KbqG22uP73Z-1920-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[High-Tech Unemployment Crisis: Job Seekers Double in 3 Years - What's Driving the Surge?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/high-tech-unemployment-crisis-job-seekers-double-in-3-years-whats-driving-the-surge</link> <guid>high-tech-unemployment-crisis-job-seekers-double-in-3-years-whats-driving-the-surge</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 15 Feb 2026 13:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## High-Tech Sector Faces Unprecedented Unemployment Spike In December 2025, the number of job seekers in the high-tech sector reached **16,300** - **double** the figure recorded in December 2022, according to a special report published by the Employment Service. ### Slowdown in Growth Rate However, the report indicates that during 2025, there was a **significant slowdown** in the rate of increase in the number of job seekers. In the final quarter of the year, the figure remained relatively stable at around **16,000 job seekers**. ### Sector Comparison Reveals Stark Contrast Compared to January 2022, the number of job seekers outside the high-tech sector is currently **lower** and stands at about **90%** of its level then, while among high-tech job seekers there has been a **126% increase**. ### Software Occupations Dominate Job Seeker Pool The data further show that **59% of job seekers** in the sector come from **software-related occupations** - about **9,600 candidates**. Of these, **software developers and systems analysts** account for roughly **51%**, and their share has been rising over the years. ### Job Market Shows Mixed Signals At the same time, during 2025, there was an approximately **15% increase** in the number of open high-tech positions - from **15,900 to 18,300**. The **jobs-to-job-seekers ratio** at the end of the year stood at **1.12**, meaning **112 positions for every 100 job seekers**. In the last quarter, **software development openings** rose by about **5%** and **engineering positions** by about **4%**. ### Salary Disparity Between Employed and Job Seekers The **average salary** in the high-tech sector in the final quarter of 2025 was about **NIS 32,500**, compared to an average of **NIS 13,600** in other sectors. However, among high-tech job seekers, the **average expected salary** stood at only about **NIS 21,700**.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>unemployment</category> <category>high-tech</category> <category>software</category> <category>israel</category> <enclosure url="https://2.a7.org/files/pictures/000/1051199.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Breaking Barriers: How Women in Tech is Empowering Local Women to Land High-Demand Tech Jobs]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/breaking-barriers-how-women-in-tech-is-empowering-local-women-to-land-high-demand-tech-jobs</link> <guid>breaking-barriers-how-women-in-tech-is-empowering-local-women-to-land-high-demand-tech-jobs</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 14 Feb 2026 13:15:21 GMT</pubDate> <description><.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>womenintech</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>careergrowth</category> <category>nonprofit</category> <category>tulsa</category> <enclosure url="https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/fox23.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/f/10/f10610e3-37dc-5f4b-83f6-95450d8f9ca4/699072822109c.image.jpg?crop=1280%2C672%2C0%2C23&resize=1200%2C630&order=crop%2Cresize" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI's Next Target: Is Your Job on the Chopping Block?

With over **80 million views**, Matt Shumer's warning resonates deeply in an industry already feeling the tremors of automation. ### The Viral Warning Shumer's central argument is that **AI is poised to disrupt not just coding**, but virtually every profession, much like how the pandemic reshaped entire sectors overnight. The comparison isn't just metaphorical—it's a stark reminder of how quickly technological shifts can upend livelihoods. ### Understanding the Concern The anxiety is palpable. As **AI tools** become more sophisticated, they're not just assisting workers; they're beginning to replace them in tasks once thought uniquely human. From content creation to data analysis, the boundaries are blurring. ### Debating the Timeline While the concern is understandable, experts are divided on **the timeline**. Some predict rapid displacement within years, while others argue for a more gradual transition, emphasizing **AI as a collaborator** rather than a replacement. The key question remains: How soon will this wave hit, and who will be swept away first? ### The Bigger Picture This isn't just about job loss—it's about **adaptation and resilience**. Industries must prepare for a future where **human-AI collaboration** becomes the norm, requiring new skills and mindsets. The debate continues, but one thing is clear: the age of AI-driven transformation is here, and no one is immune.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>automation</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>career</category> <enclosure url="https://assets.sfstandard.com/image/994911177489/image_qfgi3b6s6p1f9d1j3vpr98tk7l/-S1200x630-FPNG" length="0" type="image//image/994911177489/image_qfgi3b6s6p1f9d1j3vpr98tk7l/-S1200x630-FPNG"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[North Carolina Dominates Tech Job Growth: How Non-Traditional Industries Are Fueling a Hiring Boom]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/north-carolina-dominates-tech-job-growth-how-non-traditional-industries-are-fueling-a-hiring-boom</link> <guid>north-carolina-dominates-tech-job-growth-how-non-traditional-industries-are-fueling-a-hiring-boom</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2026 20:15:27 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Brooks Raiford, president and CEO of NC Tech, speaks at the 2026 Outlook for Tech event by NC Tech on Feb. 12 at The Revelry North End.

While the broader U.S. economy added 130,000 jobs in January—driven by healthcare, social assistance, and construction—the tech sector experienced a significant decline. ### Tech Sector Job Losses According to **CompTIA**, tech-related jobs **declined by 20,155 in January**, affecting both technical and non-technical occupations. The unemployment rate for tech jobs rose to **3.6%**, with 6.6 million employed in such roles. The **telecom sector was hit hardest**, seeing a 15% decline according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. ### The Silver Lining: AI-Driven Hiring Trends Amid this uncertainty, companies are using job postings to gauge how **AI is influencing changing roles**. CompTIA reported that tech job postings in January rose to **465,000**, up 4% from December, with increased demand for: - **Software and systems engineers** - **Tech support personnel** - **AI engineers** (8,765 listings, up by 1,353 from December) Bekir Atahan, vice president at Experis, noted that **technical role postings increased by 15% in January**, including an **18% rise for software developers**. "One of the clearest signals is the growth in roles asking for **artificial intelligence-related skills**," he said. ### The AI Skills Revolution Job postings for **AI-related skills jumped more than 50% in January**, with software developer positions requiring AI skills growing even faster. "Companies are moving from early exploration to practical implementation, which is creating steady demand for **multidisciplinary technologists**," Atahan explained. This represents a major shift from last year, with **AI skills becoming increasingly critical** for technical roles. Organizations continue to prioritize positions in **cloud engineering, data architecture, cybersecurity, and product development**. ### The "Great Job Unbundling" Nela Richardson, chief economist of ADP, describes this transformation as "**the great job unbundling**." As AI takes on more workplace activities, traditional ways of thinking about job creation and destruction only tell part of the story. "In the future, employers will reconsider the content of their jobs and roles. The focus will no longer be on repetitive work, but on **value and growth**," she said. ### Global Implications At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, warned that "**60% of jobs in advanced economies will be affected by AI**—either enhanced, eliminated, or transformed—and 40% globally. This is like a **tsunami hitting the labor market**." Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei noted that white-collar workers—including knowledge workers in software, finance, research, and science—are particularly vulnerable. "I think maybe we're starting to see just the little beginnings of it in software and coding," he said, adding that companies may need **fewer people at junior and intermediate levels** as AI capabilities advance.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>employment</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>careertrends</category> <enclosure url="https://www.computerworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/4132130-0-94734800-1770987245-fog_obscure_horizon_highway_road_uncertainty_unknown_future_by_markus_spiske_cc0_via_pexels_binary_pattern_by_prawny_cc0_via_pixabay_1200x800-100764029-orig.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
