The US job market is experiencing a historic divergence:
US information technology employment has declined -11%, since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022.
During this period, the tech sector has shed -332,000 jobs, down to 2.78 million.
At the same time, private education and health service employment has risen 13%, to an all-time high.
This comes as the sector has added 3.16 million jobs.
As a result, technology employment is now below pre-pandemic levels seen between 2017 and 2019.
AI remains a key force transforming labor market conditions.
