That number alone isn’t particularly telling. What were those IT jobs? Did we lose a bunch of programmers and software architects and gained T1 support roles? Permanent vs contractual? What percentage had a pay cut/raise? How many people entered the workforce (graduated, new hires) vs how many left (retired or career change) this year?
And it is easier to argue against claims no one made.
Data before 2023 isn’t relevant as the thread is about the Lay Offs in 2023.
So kindly shove your moved goal post back from whence you pulled it.
Net 700 IT job gains in 2023 as all the positions cut did was move chairs between buildings.

You should probably go look at what the historical numbers are for that.
Far more than 700 people entered the IT workforce last year
And yet there was a NET (please look the definition up) job increase.
And if you’d actually go look at data from before 2023, you’ll see that’s the lowest it’s been in over a decade by well over 100k jobs.
But yeah everything’s dandy if you just ignore reality
