| Interesting stats to look at. Is "Telecommunications" the only tech that's actually been steadily automating it's workforce since 2000: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CES5051700001 edit: or is "Telecommunications" the old school landlines and such, and this is just the effect of the Internet |

Clearly that's a domain that has been automating at the very least since the human operated plug and board switching centres with human operators that answered phones and hand routed calls left the network centres. |

| You'll need to compare how many job postings there are as well to get the full picture, especially for junior roles. That's one of the most contentious effects and has an outsized impact on society. |

| Not much layoffs and they're probably due to the Trump #1 tax hikes on engineering anyway. But you can't say that without getting tariffed. Saying you're using AI is a much safer bet |
