U.S. information sector: number of people hired 2001-2023

The number of new hires in the U.S. IT sector in 2023 stood at around 865 thousand new employees, 0 Representing a significant decrease from the previous year, as well as the lowest amount of new hires since 2013. This is in line with the tech layoff trend overtaking the IT employment market, with 2023 witnessing a record number of layoffs in the tech industry. Tech layoffs could be partially attributed to overstaffing, with significant amounts of employees being hired in 2021 and 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

2023年，美国信息技术行业的新增雇佣人数约为86.5万人，这一数字较上一年显著下降，同时也是自2013年以来的最低新增雇佣人数。这一现象与科技行业裁员趋势超越信息技术就业市场的现状相吻合，2023年见证了科技行业裁员数量的历史新高。科技行业的裁员现象部分可归因于人员过剩，这在2021年和2022年疫情期间大量雇佣员工的现象中表现得尤为明显。
