Layoffs have been a defining feature of the job market in 2025, with several major companies announcing thousands of job cuts driven by artificial intelligence.
In fact, AI was responsible for almost 55,000 layoffs in the U.S. this year, according to consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
AI has been the cause of 50’000 layoffs to middle-lower class employees. Mamy of whom now have no jobs, some homeless, but overall less money going to the working class. Now, has this made companies more moral? More efficient? Has AI created any jobs? I doubt it.
All this has done is increased the profit margins, and enshittified these companies, now writing code, managing employees, and doing other jobs humans should be doing.
