AI is not eating your jobs: LinkedIn busts biggest hiring myth of 2026
The market has been harbouring widespread fears that AI is one of the key reasons behind the displacement of workers and companies slowing down recruitment. However, LinkedIn’s latest internal data suggests otherwise.
Just fresh off the announcements from Snap, LinkedIn, which is one of the world’s favourite professional networking platforms, has released data from a study, revealing that hiring has dropped by approximately 20% since 2022, while employee layoffs keep happening by a factor of thousands. However, LinkedIn attributes the decline primarily to economic factors rather than AI automation.
