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> <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.

'If H-1B were a true replacement program that cut native tech jobs to the bone, then after 35 years of it being widely used in tech, we should see- Near-zero native-born tech workers,' he wrote. 'But that’s not reality.' Blunt pointed to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to support his argument. According to BLS Occupational Employment Statistics, total computer and information technology employment in the United States stands at roughly **5.3 million workers**. By contrast, he estimated that the number of H-1B visa holders in tech at any given time is between **600,000 and 800,000**. He added that not all H-1B holders work in core tech roles, as some are employed in other STEM fields. 'Math makes this clear,' Blunt wrote, breaking down the figures: 'Tech workforce ≈ 5,300,000 Max H-1B in tech ≈ 750,000 H-1Bs as % of tech jobs ≈ ~14% Even at the higher end of estimates, H-1B workers would account for roughly **14 percent of the tech workforce**,' he argued. If the program’s primary effect were to displace Americans with lower-cost foreign labor, 'then over 35 years we would have seen native tech workers largely disappear.' Instead, millions of Americans continue to work in technology roles, while the sector itself has expanded significantly over the same period. 'The fact that millions of Americans still occupy these jobs means the biggest dynamics driving employment are **demand, innovation, and market growth**,' Blunt wrote. He summarized his position in three points: - H-1B is a small slice of the overall workforce. - Tech jobs have grown, not shrunk, alongside H-1B use. - There’s no plausible scenario where a visa category this size 'wiped out' native tech labor. 'That’s why the 'H-1B replaced Americans' argument doesn’t hold up when you look at the actual numbers,' he concluded. Blunt’s data-driven framing stands in sharp contrast to many anti-H-1B posts circulating on X, which often argue that the visa program has systematically displaced American workers and suppressed wages across the tech sector. A large share of those posts focus on anecdotal layoffs, viral screenshots of job listings, or claims that companies use the program primarily as a cost-cutting tool. Blunt, however, shifts the debate from individual cases to macro-level employment data, contending that the overall size of the tech workforce and the proportion of H-1B holders within it do not support the narrative of wholesale replacement. Instead of framing H-1B as a zero-sum equation, his argument centers on broader market expansion, demand for skills, and long-term job growth. The H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. employers to hire foreign professionals in specialty occupations, has long been a flashpoint in discussions around immigration, labor markets, and the future of the American tech workforce.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>h1b</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>immigration</category> <category>dataanalysis</category> <category>workforce</category> <enclosure url="https://americanbazaaronline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/James-Blunt-.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Gen Z Ditches Tech for Trades: The 'Toolbelt Generation' Emerges as AI Reshapes Careers]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/gen-z-ditches-tech-for-trades-the-toolbelt-generation-emerges-as-ai-reshapes-careers</link> <guid>gen-z-ditches-tech-for-trades-the-toolbelt-generation-emerges-as-ai-reshapes-careers</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:15:25 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Photo by: Scripps News graphic* Erika Miguel, for example, left the tech world behind for free training in upholstery, an industry short on skilled workers. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DIp-XdQIupU?si=HSyhzWdRFyEB8VvJ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> "I wanted to work with my hands, I wanted to be more creative," Miguel said. "When I was working in tech, I felt like I was just a cog in the wheel." Chris Anderson, general counsel at Rayburn Electric Cooperative, whose front line includes lineworkers, power plant operators and field technicians, said the economy and technology are pushing more young people to the company's apprenticeship program. "You're being paid while you're being trained. You're doing the work. You're getting an income," Anderson said, "and you're getting great benefits. You're starting your investment in your own future very, very early on." ## Why Gen Z is Choosing Trades Over Tech Dubbed the **"toolbelt generation,"** more than half of Gen Z workers, **53%**, are seriously considering blue-collar or skilled trade work, according to a survey by the career site Zety. In the survey of 1,000 Gen Z workers, **65% said a college degree won't protect them from AI-related job loss**. "Young people are looking at this and saying, 'Hey, if I go to school for four years and I get out, where is AI going to be?'" said Matt DiBara, co-founder of The Contractor Consultants, a construction hiring service. DiBara said Gen Z's interest is welcome, with older generations of workers on the path to retirement. "What keeps me up at night is the statistic that **40% of the workforce is expected to retire in the next decade**," DiBara said. "They're the ones who have put in 15, 20 years, 20 years plus in the trades. And they're the ones that pass down the knowledge." ## The Changing Perception of Blue-Collar Work Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, CEO of JVS in the Bay Area, a nonprofit that trains job seekers, points out that choosing the trades early doesn't shut the door for a future education. "College can always be there for you," Countryman-Quiroz said. "You may be better informed about what you really want to do after you've done some other kinds of work out in the world. That's a possibility." DiBara agrees that skilled trades can serve as a stepping stone to other opportunities. "You can wake up having put three, four, five years into a hands-on side of a trade and then say, 'You know what? I want to move into management, or I want to move into estimating, or sales,'" DiBara said. Experts agree the stigma long associated with blue-collar work is fading, helping to attract new workers to companies like Rayburn. "Blue-collar work is not shunned. It's very well-paying, good jobs, good people," Anderson said. ## The Pandemic's Impact on Career Choices The pandemic accelerated this shift. Data from the National Center for Education Statistics show that **trade school enrollment grew about 5% from 2020 to 2023**. During that same span, undergraduate enrollment fell nearly 1%. For Miguel, learning the ropes in upholstery is building life-long skills and independence. "I wanted to support myself in a way that I didn't know was possible before," she said.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>genz</category> <category>skilledtrades</category> <category>careershift</category> <category>aijobs</category> <category>apprenticeships</category> <enclosure url="https://ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/7e9ef11/2147483647/strip/true/crop/3332x1749+0+0/resize/1200x630!/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fewscripps-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F61%2F3a%2F2a9db6d1407783a0a3172eaeda74%2Fscreenshot-2026-02-10-at-7-01-42-am.png" length="0" type="image//dims4/default/7e9ef11/2147483647/strip/true/crop/3332x1749+0+0/resize/1200x630!/quality/90/"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unlock £110k: The Rise of Empathy Engineers and Other Confusing Tech Jobs You're Missing Out On]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/unlock-110k-the-rise-of-empathy-engineers-and-other-confusing-tech-jobs-youre-missing-out-on</link> <guid>unlock-110k-the-rise-of-empathy-engineers-and-other-confusing-tech-jobs-youre-missing-out-on</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:15:12 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The Mystery of Empathy Engineers British job seekers are missing out on **lucrative tech sector contracts** because they don't understand what the roles actually entail—or even believe they exist. According to new research from the business financial platform Tide, this confusion is costing applicants opportunities in high-paying positions. ### What Is an Empathy Engineer? An empathy engineer is someone who **considers the social, cultural, and emotional factors** that influence how society interacts with technology. This role focuses on **blending the human perspective with tech-driven problem-solving**, aiming to create more meaningful and inclusive digital experiences. - **Salary Potential**: Up to £110,000 per annum. - **Current Listings**: As of now, LinkedIn isn't advertising any openings for empathy engineers, though there was one expired listing for a role in gaming. ### The Gaming Example In gaming, an empathy engineer would be responsible for **implementing game mechanics, narratives, and experiences** that foster empathy, emotional intelligence, and social awareness among players. The goal is to promote **meaningful connections and understanding within virtual worlds**. ## Other Confusing Job Titles Empathy engineer is just one of several **new and bewildering job titles** emerging in the tech industry. Others include: - **Prompt Engineer**: Specializes in crafting and optimizing prompts for AI systems. - **Belonging Manager**: Focuses on embedding an inclusive culture within organizations to ensure employees feel valued and heard. - **Skills Architect**: Designs and structures skill development programs. - **Augmented Intelligence Officer**: Works on enhancing human decision-making with AI tools. ### The Belonging Manager Role A belonging manager's role is to **embed an inclusive culture at the heart of the organization**, ensuring employees feel valued, included, and heard. This position can offer up to £80,000 per year, but 80% of survey participants had no idea what it involved. ## Why the Confusion? As the job market adapts to **rapid growth and changing needs**, new roles are emerging that have **no previous parallels in the workplace**. This lack of historical context makes it difficult for applicants to understand what these jobs entail or how to qualify for them. ### Employer Responsibility There's a debate about whether employers are creating **silly, off-putting names** for what might otherwise be ordinary jobs. This branding can deter potential candidates who are unfamiliar with the terminology. ## Key Takeaways for Job Seekers - **Stay Informed**: Keep an eye on emerging roles in the tech sector, even if they sound unfamiliar. - **Research Thoroughly**: Look beyond the job title to understand the actual responsibilities and required skills. - **Leverage Experience**: Many of these new roles prioritize practical experience over formal qualifications, so highlight relevant past work. ### Do's and Don'ts - **Do Say**: "As someone experienced at building consistent frameworks that are supported, accountable, and impactful, I am the very model of a modern empathy engineer." - **Don't Say**: "Can I empathize from home?" By understanding these evolving roles, you can position yourself to take advantage of **high-paying opportunities** in the tech industry, even if the job titles seem confusing at first glance.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>empathyengineer</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>careergrowth</category> <category>remotework</category> <category>innovation</category> <enclosure url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/f3c438dd82aa4022fcc5f58234430390ded049ff/490_0_4686_3749/master/4686.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&precrop=40:21,offset-x50,offset-y0&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctZGVmYXVsdC5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=43bb6c240a32f2dc5fbbfde56e34ac72" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[2026 US Job Market Report: What to Expect from the First Jobs Data of the Year]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/2026-us-job-market-report-what-to-expect-from-the-first-jobs-data-of-the-year</link> <guid>2026-us-job-market-report-what-to-expect-from-the-first-jobs-data-of-the-year</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:15:13 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[We’ll get a first look Wednesday at the state of the US job market as 2026 kicked off, as well as a clearer picture of hiring in 2025. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release the January jobs report at 8:30 am ET Wednesday. The crucial employment snapshot is slightly delayed because of the brief government shutdown and will show whether the trajectory improved for the US labor market, which has been stuck in a low-hire and low-fire lull. Last year, the economy posted its weakest year of job gains outside of a recession since 2003. The year ended with the economy adding 50,000 jobs in December (roughly matching the average monthly gain for the year) and unemployment dipping to 4.4%, the BLS reported. “Many workers feel stuck in their careers or feel frozen out of the job market,” said Daniel Zhao, chief economist at employment site Glassdoor. The all-important churn needed for a healthy labor market has slowed considerably, and there are more people searching for jobs than are available. The January jobs report will also include a series of critical revisions (namely, the annual benchmark revision) and statistical modeling adjustments that not only will provide a fuller look at past employment trends but also could very well shape our current and future view of the labor market. There’s going to be a lot to unpack Wednesday, so here’s a cheat sheet to help get up to speed: ## What are the expectations for hiring and unemployment in January? In short: Expect to see more of the same. Heading into this year, economists said monthly job gains could hover around that 50,000-a-month range. The recent batch of labor market data (both public and private) indicated that there’s a high likelihood that job growth was tepid, unemployment remained subdued and that health care remained a primary driver of overall hiring. There’s a possibility that seasonal and weather-related factors could result in a stronger-than-expected reading for January: Weaker holiday hiring has meant fewer post-holiday layoffs, and unseasonably warm weather during the early part of last month could have bolstered employment in industries like construction. Economists’ consensus estimates are for job gains of 80,000 last month and for the jobless rate to stay at 4.4%, according to FactSet. ## Why has job growth been so weak? There is a combination of factors at play. On the supply side, Baby Boomers are aging and retiring, population growth has slowed, and there’s been a sharp reduction in immigration and an increase in deportations. On the demand side: Large employers are whittling down their ranks after over-hiring during the pandemic; high levels of uncertainty – particularly around the Trump administration’s sudden, shifting and sweeping domestic policy changes – have clouded businesses’ decision-making and stifled hiring; firms have shifted some investments away from hiring and toward equipment and technology (including artificial intelligence) to shore up productivity; and a high-cost environment alongside steep tariffs, federal funding cutbacks and aggressive immigration enforcement have negatively affected some businesses. Joe Brusuelas, senior economist at RSM US, highlighted a few of those factors when pushing back on White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett’s claim Monday that subdued job gains are primarily the result of lower population figures and higher productivity. “The idea that slower hiring is simply a function of long-term demographics is both unsatisfactory and an attempt to distract from immigration and trade policies – see the 72,000 decline in manufacturing jobs last year that will likely look worse following the upcoming benchmark revision,” Brusuelas said in a statement. ## What is the benchmark revision? Federal data is fluid and frequently subject to change as more detailed and accurate information becomes readily available. The BLS’ monthly jobs report is meant to provide a higher-frequency look at employment trends, but that timeliness comes with some cost to accuracy. To get the monthly employment snapshot, the BLS surveys about 121,000 US employers, accounting for 631,000 work sites (covering more than a quarter of overall employment). Those respondents are given three opportunities to report their payroll gains and losses for any given month. Every year, the BLS undertakes a process aimed at providing a near-complete employment county by squaring up the monthly survey estimates with data drawn from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program, which covers about 95% of US jobs. The QCEW provides a more comprehensive and accurate read on the number of businesses, employees and wages throughout the country because that data is derived from state unemployment insurance tax records most employers are required to file. Given that process, the QCEW comes with a significant lag: The data for the third quarter of last year won’t be released until next month. ## What did the preliminary benchmark revision show? That was the preliminary benchmark revision, an annual first-look estimate that coincides with the release of the first-quarter QCEW data. In September, the preliminary revision inferred that the US economy likely added about 911,000 fewer jobs than the jobs reports initially estimated for the 12-month period running from April 2024 through March 2025. Spread out, that’s about 76,000 fewer jobs per month. If the preliminary estimate were to pan out, it would essentially cut the posted job gains for that period in half. ## Is this revision unusual? No, the process of benchmarking and these significant adjustments to past employment are not some proof of nefarious data-related activity as has been unjustifiably claimed by President Donald Trump and others. In fact, they’re the exact opposite. For one, this is a process that’s been conducted by the BLS in some shape or form for 90 years. To quote former BLS commissioner Erica Groshen, it’s “not a bug; it’s a feature.” These and other revisions are a reflection of how a transparent and rules-driven organization accounts and adjusts for new information as it becomes available, said Groshen and other former BLS officials in past interviews with CNN. If it were to hold – and history has shown that the final revision is smaller – it would be the biggest downward revision on record (which go back to 1979), BLS data shows. ## What is the final benchmark revision expected to be? Economists expect that the final adjustment could be a downward revision of 700,000 jobs. This time last year, the final annual benchmarked figure for the 12 months ending in March 2024 was a negative 589,000 jobs seasonally adjusted (-598,000 not accounting for seasonality). That’s significantly narrower than the preliminary estimate of -818,000 jobs, which still seems to stick in some minds, even though it was not the final figure. The final tally of nearly negative 600,000 was the largest downward revision since March 2009 (which was previously the largest on record, at minus 902,000) and steeper than the downward revision of 489,000 jobs for the 12-month period ended March 2019 (during Trump’s first term). By the way, for context, the adjustments amount to a sliver (tenths of a percentage point) of overall employment. Still, such large swings, positive or negative, typically occur in times when the economy is suddenly changing in volumes that seemingly well-tuned models aren’t able to pick up as quickly. The factors likely contributing to the upcoming downward revision include: declining survey response rates; the BLS’ modeling of business creation (called the birth-death model) being thrown out of whack by the pandemic and overestimating job gains; and immigration-related measurement gaps. “This has been a half-decade with enormous changes to the economy – both the pandemic and the beginning and end of the immigration surge,” said Jed Kolko, an economist and former Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs during the Biden administration. ## And what are statistical model adjustments? The benchmark revision – which ultimately affects 21 months of not-seasonally adjusted data from April of the prior year through the following year’s December – isn’t the only adjustment in this upcoming release. Because the BLS establishment surveys existing employers, they miss businesses that just opened or closed. BLS crafted the “birth-death” model to capture these dynamics. BLS has fine-tuned its birth-death model and will adjust past data produced under the prior model. The agency also traditionally updates its seasonal adjustment models with each benchmark revision, resulting in the past five years of seasonally adjusted data being affected.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>economy</category> <category>employment</category> <category>bls</category> <category>2026</category> <enclosure url="https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/ap26006831783482.jpg?c=16x9&q=w_800,c_fill" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
