"The workforce continues to change as more employees work from home or switch jobs to move beyond living paycheck to paycheck. However, some employees may also have changed jobs out of necessity as companies lay off workers in an attempt to trim costs. Millions have faced layoffs this year alone, and 16,084 cuts in the tech industry have taken place in February alone."
"Recruiters may be in less demand than they used to be as more people switch jobs. With the increase in the number of people looking for a new job, it may be easier to find someone who's a good fit for an open position. Consequently, companies may be less likely to need a recruiter to search for those hard-to-find workers."
"As more employees work from home, it may not be as necessary to coach workers on how to interact with customers on a face-to-face basis. Customer training that was once in the workplace may also have been moved online with more workers at home, making it easier to handle training for a lower cost and with fewer people. Data science may be a growing field, but it could also lead to layoffs as companies hire data scientists and then struggle to utilize their talents effectively."

Millions have faced layoffs this year, with 16,084 cuts in the tech industry in February.

Recruiters may be less needed as increased job switching makes it easier to fill openings. Remote work has moved customer training online, reducing demand for face-to-face coaching. Data science is growing but some companies struggle to utilize data scientists effectively, while UX designers focus on human-product interactions.
