Oracle layoffs didn’t start with the announcement. As AI spend ramps (up to $50B planned), hiring was already shifting: • Postings declined through 2025 • Brief stabilisation • Sharp drop into 2026 Hiring data often moves before headlines. #HiringTrends #AI #Oracle

Salary transparency is becoming standard. 50%+ of U.S. job postings now include pay. • Parser: +7.5% YoY • Raw data: +7.9% YoY MoM changes are small, but the trend is clear: pay visibility is now expected, not optional. #SalaryTransparency #HiringTrends
