There were >100000 layoffs at tech companies in the last 4 years because companies “overhired”. The government is finally taking action to address a “labor shortage” in this sector, because these same companies cannot find anyone to hire? Something doesn’t add up here but a lot of people who have been given a pretty raw deal.



How is it possible that the labour force suddenly produced all those tech workers domestically during a pandemic?

What's not adding up is the qualifications of those people that got overhired.
