The U.S. job market in Spring 2025, highlighting a mix of resilience and emerging weaknesses, including negative GDP growth and falling consumer confidence, despite low overall unemployment. A central focus is the technology sector, described as a bifurcated market with high demand for specialized roles like AI and cybersecurity contrasting with ongoing workforce reductions and difficulty for new graduates. While a strictly upward trend in the monthly volume of tech layoffs is not consistently observed over the last 90 days, major companies continue to announce significant cuts, and the tech unemployment rate increased from March to April, indicating persistent pressure driven by AI strategic pivots, economic volatility, and post-pandemic adjustments. The outlook suggests continued cautious hiring and the rise of skills-based employment and AI fluency as critical for future career success in tech.
