The competition is fiercer, as more computer science graduates and laid-off workers flood the market.  ### Big Tech Holds Strong Public tech companies increased job postings by 18% year-to-date, though numbers dipped slightly from earlier in 2026.  TrueUp founder Amit Taylor describes the market as **"holding steady despite everything else happening in the tech industry."** The recovery follows a painful correction in 2022-2023, but current demand signals a healthy—if not pandemic-boom—market. **Key takeaway:** AI is reshaping tech jobs, but it's not eliminating them.

Former Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo Has a Plan]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/can-we-ai-proof-our-jobs-former-commerce-secretary-gina-raimondo-has-a-plan</link> <guid>can-we-ai-proof-our-jobs-former-commerce-secretary-gina-raimondo-has-a-plan</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2026 19:15:31 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Gina Raimondo says her family never fully recovered after her father lost his Bulova watch factory job in the 1980s to economic forces beyond his control. Decades later, the former Biden administration commerce secretary and Rhode Island governor is trying to stop **artificial intelligence** from inflicting similar pain on families across the country. Raimondo is now leading a **bipartisan effort** to AI-proof the country’s workforce. The initiative aims to prepare workers for the inevitable changes AI will bring, focusing on **retraining**, **education**, and **social safety nets** to cushion the blow. The goal is not to stop AI but to ensure that the workforce can adapt and thrive alongside it. Key components of the plan include: - **Partnerships with tech companies** to create AI training programs. - **Federal funding** for community colleges and vocational schools to update curricula. - **Portable benefits** for gig workers and freelancers affected by automation. - **AI literacy campaigns** to help workers understand and leverage new tools. Raimondo emphasizes that the U.S. has faced similar transitions before, such as the shift from manufacturing to services, and can do so again with the right policies. The plan has drawn support from both Democrats and Republicans, as well as major tech firms like Microsoft and Google. However, critics argue that the pace of AI change is unprecedented and that existing retraining programs have had mixed results. Raimondo acknowledges the challenge but insists that inaction is not an option.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>workforce</category> <category>retraining</category> <category>ginaraimondo</category> <category>jobdisplacement</category> <enclosure url="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/wapo/PYZLQDQX7II63OMYWKVWR5MENA.jpg&w=1440" length="0" type="image/php"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Workday Faces Lawsuit Over AI Bias in Job Screening: A Landmark Case for Hiring Tech]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/workday-faces-lawsuit-over-ai-bias-in-job-screening-a-landmark-case-for-hiring-tech</link> <guid>workday-faces-lawsuit-over-ai-bias-in-job-screening-a-landmark-case-for-hiring-tech</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 19:15:46 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Workday, a leading provider of AI-powered hiring software, is facing a California lawsuit that could reshape the legal landscape for AI in recruitment. The case, brought by Derek Mobley, alleges that Workday's screening tools discriminated against him based on his race, age, and disability, rejecting him from over 100 jobs. ## Key Allegations - **Discriminatory Bias**: Mobley claims Workday's AI system systematically rejected him because he is Black, over 40, and has anxiety and depression. - **Responsibility Shift**: Traditionally, employers are liable for discriminatory hiring. This case explores whether **software developers and AI vendors** should also bear responsibility. ## Legal Implications - **California Law**: Judge Rita Lin indicated she may reject Workday's attempt to dismiss claims under California employment discrimination laws, even for applicants outside the state. - **Broader Impact**: With **over 80% of US employers** and nearly all Fortune 500 companies using AI hiring tools, this case could set a precedent for regulating AI in hiring. ## The Core Issue - **Training Data Bias**: The court must examine how training data can embed historical biases, and who is accountable for the outcomes. - **Workday's Defense**: The company states, "Our technology looks only at job qualifications, not protected traits like race, age, or disability." This case is a critical test for **AI accountability** in employment, potentially forcing vendors to ensure their algorithms are fair and transparent.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>aibias</category> <category>hiringsoftware</category> <category>workdaylawsuit</category> <category>employmentdiscrimination</category> <category>airegulation</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yqUDvUuEyqbGb9vPDZphgN-1440-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Tech Layoffs 2026: Nearly 155,000 Jobs Cut at Meta, LinkedIn, Lucid, Robinhood, and More]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/tech-layoffs-2026-nearly-155-000-jobs-cut-at-meta-linkedin-lucid-robinhood-and-more</link> <guid>tech-layoffs-2026-nearly-155-000-jobs-cut-at-meta-linkedin-lucid-robinhood-and-more</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:15:37 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The tech industry is facing a wave of layoffs in 2026, with nearly **155,000 jobs cut** so far. Major companies like Meta, LinkedIn, Lucid, Robinhood, and many others have announced significant workforce reductions. This article breaks down the layoffs by month, highlighting the reasons behind each cut. ## June 2026 ### Lucid Electric vehicle maker Lucid is cutting **18% of its workforce** (around 1,800 jobs) to boost profitability amid growing competition. The cuts affect full-time employees, contractors, and hourly manufacturing workers. ### Rackspace Cloud computing company Rackspace laid off **750 workers (15% of its workforce)** as it pivots toward AI. ### Rivian EV startup Rivian let go of **hundreds of employees (about 2% of its workforce)** from its service and customer organization. ### Robinhood Trading platform Robinhood plans to **lay off 10% of its staff (around 290 jobs)** to restructure, with CEO Vlad Tenev citing the use of "frontier technologies" to push execution further. ### Salesforce Salesforce laid off **at least 86 employees** in California, affecting teams involved with its Agentforce AI product, Mulesoft, and Marketing Cloud. ## May 2026 ### Groupon Groupon is cutting **25% of its workforce (400 jobs)** to restructure as an AI-native company. ### Wix Website builder Wix is cutting **20% of staff (around 1,000 roles)** due to AI-driven changes and exchange rate impacts. ### Webflow Webflow conducted a round of layoffs described as a "bloodbath," shifting focus to AI.

This gap persists even after controlling for age, education, and sector, suggesting that AI adoption is becoming a key factor in job security. ## The Data Doesn't Lie Gallup's February 2026 survey found that only 1% of laid-off workers directly blamed AI for their job loss. However, the data indicates that AI is not about mass replacement but **selection**. When companies face restructuring or budget pressures, workers who have integrated AI into their workflows appear less expendable. ## Real-World Layoff Numbers Tech layoffs are already staggering: **78,557 tech workers** were laid off from January to early April 2026, with 37,638 cuts attributed to AI and automation, according to Tom's Hardware. Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported **52,050 US tech layoffs** in Q1 2026 alone. AI is now the language management uses to justify workforce reductions. ## What This Means for Founders The key takeaway for startup leaders: don't just add "AI proficiency" to job descriptions. Instead, focus on **behavior**. Ask candidates to describe a real instance where AI changed how they approached a problem. A genuine user will detail the task, tool, mistakes, and results. A tourist will only talk abstractly about productivity. ## Training as a Retention Tool Gallup's findings give startups a concrete retention argument: teaching employees to use AI well has **direct career value**. For companies that can't match Big Tech salaries, offering paid access to serious AI tools, time to learn, and managers who expect real use can be a competitive advantage. ## The Causality Question While Gallup's data can't prove whether AI use causes job security or simply correlates with high performance, the practical implication is the same: treating AI adoption as optional is a bad bet. Either way, you need to build it or hire for it. **The bottom line:** Tech workers who rarely use AI face an 18% layoff risk. That's the number to remember when someone says the company will get around to AI training later.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>gallupsurvey</category> <category>jobsecurity</category> <category>startups</category> <enclosure url="https://startupfortune.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/sf-14128-1781920934469.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI's Impact on Jobs: Why We Need Global Regulations Now]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ais-impact-on-jobs-why-we-need-global-regulations-now</link> <guid>ais-impact-on-jobs-why-we-need-global-regulations-now</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:15:44 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[It seems that not a day passes without fevered headlines about the impact of **artificial intelligence (AI)** on future jobs. Alarm and confusion are everywhere – from young people trying to enter the job market to AI specialists worried their role is about to be usurped by AI itself, to accountants and lawyers watching AI gobble up roles that until recently justified high fees and salaries. Panic is warranted, not just over the increasingly rapid encroachment of AI into every part of our personal and working lives but also over the truly confusing array of implications. **AI is going to create some jobs but destroy others.** It is going to change some jobs, sometimes routinising them and sometimes empowering them. It is going to create new demand but also eliminate demand. As more consumers use AI to get things done rather than employing human specialists or intermediaries, AI could even make many roles invisible to gross domestic product as statisticians measure it. Resistance to AI is sometimes countered by arguments that technological change has been a massive disrupter throughout history. Those arguments are fair: the arrival of motor transport ended our reliance on horses and the pivotal role of blacksmiths. Washing machines put thousands of laundry shops out of business, and computers brought an end to many printing-related jobs in the newspaper industry. The march of technology has also destroyed the role of telephone operators, bus conductors and lift operators. Since my childhood, millions of once-essential jobs have disappeared, silently and unmourned. There was the milkman delivering to every home before dawn, the weekly visit of the coalman, the grocery van, the fizzy drinks lorry and even the ice cream van. As more families came to own cars, town-centre retailers and supermarkets persuaded us to come to them for our shopping rather than force them to come to us. The arrival of the internet and smartphones undermined the role of jobs from office typists and translators to travel agents and insurance salesmen. History suggests that for every job lost to new technologies, others will be created. Productivity has risen, as have living standards. According to the **World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs Report**, labour market transformation will result in the creation of an estimated **170 million jobs by 2030** but also the displacement of **92 million current jobs**.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobdisplacement</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>regulation</category> <category>technologyimpact</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/og_image_scmp_opinion/public/d8/images/canvas/2026/06/18/5b985095-cb13-4da5-a1fd-c36cd2dc7086_83ebccb0.jpg?itok=siEarezK&v=1781771090" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Isn't Destroying Jobs as Fast as You Think: The Surprising Truth from Yale Research]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-isnt-destroying-jobs-as-fast-as-you-think-the-surprising-truth-from-yale-research</link> <guid>ai-isnt-destroying-jobs-as-fast-as-you-think-the-surprising-truth-from-yale-research</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 19:15:34 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[It's easy for job seekers to feel stuck in an **AI doom loop**, with chatbots overhauling white-collar 9-to-5s and agents rewriting the rules for basic tasks. But new research from Yale Budget Lab reveals a surprising truth: **AI has had a modest impact on America's job market** since ChatGPT's release in 2022. ## AI is changing work, but not eliminating it According to Yale's researchers, **AI usage has "no connection" to changes in employment or unemployment**. The pattern mirrors other major tech advances like the internet and computers. While AI has changed jobs more than eliminated them, the effect is slightly sharper in the months after launching but not the work revolution some Silicon Valley leaders have heralded. Some sectors are hit harder than others—**finance and business are more vulnerable** than professions like nursing. However, occupational churn follows a similar trend line to other tech history moments, not causing a massive reset. The report also found that high AI exposure doesn't starkly impact unemployment duration. The number of unemployed workers whose jobs were automated remains fairly static. ## The real job market challenges It's not to say the job market is rosy. A lack of vacancies, widespread hiring freezes, and layoffs—some CEOs say are somewhat related to AI—have boxed people out of offices. Low quit rates mean few open positions. Jobs numbers are recovering this summer, but the dip may have more to do with **high interest rates** than tech disruption. Giants like OpenAI and Anthropic are reevaluating pricing, meaning companies will pay more for regular AI use. Much current AI use isn't translating to major profits or productivity gains. It's still early days for chatbots at the office. At least for now, **AI is unlikely to cause a sudden wave of unemployment**.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>unemployment</category> <category>techimpact</category> <category>yaleresearch</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/6a356175c7a58f814f0d48c8?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//6a356175c7a58f814f0d48c8"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
