There's a lot of deception going on with job numbers. Everyone knows there was a hiring spree during the pandemic and companies have been gradually shedding off excess weight since then. AI of course is just another excuse to shed more numbers.

I'd prefer it if people looking at hiring numbers would compare it with the pre-pandemic levels.
