Bad news for coders: The US is past peak software developer (www.businessinsider.com)

A new ADP Research Institute report shows employment for software developers has declined from January 2018. Data elsewhere show fewer opportunities for people to fill software development and tech roles after the US labor market is no longer as hot as it was a few years ago.

"The tech job market has undeniably slowed since the end of 2022, cooling after a few years of rapid hiring during the pandemic recovery," Daniel Zhao, Glassdoor's lead economist, said in a written statement. "Rising interest rates, the end of pandemic-era trends and a slowing economy overall has crimped demand for tech workers."

What's wrong with Business Insider? Genuine question

Above and beyond what the other poster said, they're a propaganda outlet for the management class... they love to (for example) boost studies that say Work From Home is bad and inefficient and "debunk" studies that say it's more efficient or has other benefits (with headlines like "The data is in folks, it's time to go back to the office!").

And if you need more evidence of who they really are, they're owned by Axel Springer.
