LinkedIn data shows AI isn’t to blame for hiring decline… yet

# LinkedIn Data Shows AI Isn't the Job Killer—Yet LinkedIn reports that companies are hiring 20% fewer people than they were two years ago, but the culprit appears to be economic conditions like rising interest rates, not artificial intelligence replacing workers. This suggests that while AI could eventually impact hiring, the current slowdown is driven by businesses tightening their belts due to higher borrowing costs. The finding offers some reassurance to workers worried about being displaced by AI in the near term.
