About JobShift
JobShift tracks AI hiring activity and AI-attributed layoffs across the US labor market. We publish what the data actually shows — both AI-driven job loss and AI-driven hiring — with US state-level breakdown nobody else provides, and a methodology you can audit end-to-end. The weekly newsletter is published as the JobShift Weekly.
Why this site exists
Knowledge workers are anxious about AI’s impact on their careers, and the public conversation is dominated by vibes-based takes from people selling something. We built JobShift to be a primary-source reference: every number on this site traces back to a public filing, an ATS API, or a named news article, and the classification rules are documented in plain English on the methodology page.
What makes this different
Both sides of the equation
AI-attributed layoffs AND AI-related hiring activity, side-by-side. Most trackers show only one.
US state-level geography
We surface where cuts and hires are concentrated, not just the national total. This is the differentiator from layoffs.fyi-style feeds.
Auditable methodology
Every AI-attribution decision points at a quote from a public article or filing. No black-box scoring.
Honest about what we are
JobShift is a small, independent project. There is no institutional funder, no advertiser, no parent company shaping what we publish. If a number looks off, email us — corrections are public, fast, and tracked in the project’s git history.
