What’s the unemployment rate for software developers? Still basically zero. It’s never moved, but for some reason people seem to think it has. That’s weird.

WSJ reported a few days ago that IT job growth is down year-over-year from 279,000 to 700. It's not contraction yet, but it is effectively the end of a long run of rapid growth.

Yes, the number of unfilled tech positions has stopped growing but the absolute number is still in the hundreds of thousands in the US alone. There is no shortage of jobs. Maybe there will be, but there isn’t and hasn’t been.
Edited: typo “IS” to “US”.
You will find work but a lot of those jobs got pushed downmarket, to early stage firms, as late stage and public companies are short of cash now. And those early stage companies dont pay you as much or at least not in cash
