Summary · why it matters

Several U.S. companies are looking to expand their workforce after months of holding back, signaling a potential shift in hiring trends even as artificial intelligence continues to drive job cuts. U.S. tech firms have cut nearly 140,000 jobs this year, with Amazon, Oracle, Meta, and Microsoft accounting for about 50,000 of those cuts, according to a Financial Times analysis. However, Robert Half CEO Keith Waddell noted that AI's impacts on the job market are proving more benign than feared, while Booz Allen Hamilton is accelerating hiring after last year's layoffs, CSX expects modest headcount increases, Alphabet plans to keep hiring in AI and Cloud, Ford rehired hundreds of experienced engineers, and IBM will triple its U.S. entry-level hiring this year. Gartner predicted that up to 30% of roles displaced by AI will be rehired by 2029, often at a higher cost. Still, companies including Amazon, Uber, and monday.com continue to announce AI-driven layoffs.
