Hiring Down 63% From Last Year (AI Takeover)

U.S. hiring is down 63% from last year, as companies shift focus from humans to AI. Get updated: https://www.aiupdate.ai According to Challenger and Gray's February jobs report, in February, employers announced just under 13,000 new jobs. Layoffs slowed to 43,000, but the real story: AI is driving more and more cuts. Tech lost 11,000 jobs in February alone, with major players like Block citing AI directly for 4,000 layoffs. Transportation cuts jumped 872% after UPS lost key accounts. AI now accounts for 10% of all layoffs in February 2026, up from 5% in 2025, and just 2.2% in the preceding two years. Companies aren't just firing, they're freezing hiring and prioritizing people who can leverage AI tools. Don’t wait, adapt, upskill, and protect your income.
