The Tech Sector collective talent has grown by 45% since 2021 The Non-Tech Open jobs have doubled between August 2021 and August 2025 ( 47,000 to 116,000 open Jobs)

Understandably, over the 3 years since Oct 2022, Tech Collective hasn't held a major contributor status. Tech Sector open Jobs dropped from 173,000 in Aug 2020 to 94,000 in Aug 2025

Tech sector collective's contribution dropped to a record low of 34% in June 2023. April 2024 was the next flash point where tech sector open jobs moved to about 50% of the total open Jobs.

Non-tech sector demand moderated but retained its size relatively, to eventually overtake Tech in contribution to total demand. October 2022 - The non-tech collective took the lead for the first time, contributing 52% to total demand. Has retained the 50%+ since then.

Late 2020 to early 2022 was the hyper-hiring phase when Tech demand peaked (Aug 2021 had 229,000 Tech Open Jobs), Yes! 😅 The tech sector collective controlled over 80% of all active demand during that period

Total active openings (Tech+Non-Tech openings) are currently near volumes seen in August 2020 (220,000 Aug 2020 to 210,000 in Aug 2025)

How have the open tech jobs been trending over the last 5 years? Have openings in Non-Tech jobs done any better? 🧵
