Unemployment as a whole, that workforce and tech pretty strong still, despite what we're hearing in these headlines.

从整体上来看失业率的话,劳动人口和科技公司仍然十分稳定,虽然我们看到的头条新闻都对此持消极态度。

Employees at Tech Giants like Amazon, Meta, and Spotify face mass layoffs.

亚马逊、Meta和声田等科技巨头的员工面临大规模裁员。

More than 150,000 tech workers were laid off in 2022, while in just the first month of 2023, more than 68,000 were laid off, according to the website layoff.fyi.

根据layoff.fyi网站的数据,2022年有超过15万名科技领域工作的员工被解雇,而仅在2023年的第一个月,就有超过6.8万人被解雇。

Those numbers are likely higher because most layoffs don't get reported.

被解雇的人员可能比这更多,因为大多数裁员不会被报道出来。

So if you consider unemployment as a whole in the tech industry, it's actually gone down.

如果你将科技行业的失业率作为一个整体来考虑,它实际上是在下降的。

Whereas unemployment across the board has gone kind of up and down and up and down.

失业率一直在不断涨落。

Throughout these couple months, things have been a little bit shaky and overall these tech layoffs have not been showing in the unemployment numbers.

这几个月情况不太稳定,总体来说,这些科技公司被解雇的人并没有被算作失业人群。

But the reason it's going down, actually, according to an expert I spoke to, is because people are finding jobs or they're going to other industries, but they're not sitting there and collecting unemployment for the most part.

根据我采访的一位专家的说法,失业率下降的真正原因是被裁员的人在找工作或进入其它行业,但他们不是大部分时间都坐在那里收集失业数据。

Even with all of these layoffs, the tech workforce is larger now than it was just a couple of years ago.

即使把所有这些裁员都算进去,现在科技领域的员工也比几年前更多。

It's hard to say how to affect the tech economy.

很难说这会对科技经济产生怎样的影响。

I think it's worth pointing out though, that the workforce is still much bigger than it was pre-pandemic.

但我认为值得指出的是,劳动人口仍然比疫情前多得多。

So even with all the cuts that say Amazon has had, their workforce is still 90% bigger than it was in 2019.

因此,即使亚马逊进行了大规模裁员,他们的员工人数仍然比2019年增加了90%。
