Given recent mass layoffs in the tech industry, we thought it would be worth taking a closer look at the tech industry-based gig workers we’d studied in our recent U.S. Gig Economy research, to get a sense of how their outlook differed from regularly employed (then suddenly unemployed) IT industry workers. About 10 percent of the freelancers we’d surveyed were IT workers.
In the first month and half of 2023, over 77,000 tech workers have been laid off, including 9,090 from Salesforce, 3740 from Twitter, 18,000 from Amazon, 10,000 from Microsoft, 12,000 from Alphabet, 3,900 from IBM, and 6,650 from Dell.
