## Resource

AI-driven job cuts are on the rise, with companies like Intuit, Meta, and Cisco reducing headcount due to AI integration. Nearly 50,000 job cuts this year have been linked to AI, with predictions of up to 15% U.S. job loss in the next five years. However, the impact may not be solely about mass layoffs, but also slower hiring, particularly for entry-level positions. Companies are reassessing staffing needs, potentially limiting opportunities for new talent and requiring different skills for existing jobs.
