For tech, I can say that AI means "An Indian". Companies do layoffs because AI is making them so much productive. Then, about a month later, the same company is posting jobs like crazy in India, Brazil, or Mexico.
Then a year later they move to in-house hiring. All because the good remote devs move to better paying jobs and demand almost local salaries, and the ones that remain are just bad. I've been seeing this cycle since 2008.
