Are Tech Workers Underpaid Now?

Описание: Are Software Engineers Underpaid Now?

Over the past year, tech workers have faced a 20% salary reduction due to factors like AI, outsourcing, and mass layoffs. Job offers for tech roles have decreased by 30% since 2020, leading workers to accept lower wages. In 2024, over 300,000 tech workers were laid off in the U.S., further intensifying competition.

Outsourcing has displaced many local jobs, with 40% of U.S. IT workers competing with talent from countries with lower labor costs. AI advancements are automating roles, while specialized areas like AI development remain profitable. However, the tech sector as a whole is experiencing a salary decline, especially in less specialized fields.
