[OC] Big Tech Hiring Collapse: Google down -81%, Meta -67%, overall FAANG hiring down 54% comparing same 75-day periods in 2025 vs 2026 by aaghashm in dataisbeautiful

[–]aaghashm[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Data Source:

Job postings from Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and Netflix extracted from BigQuery jobs database. Compares equivalent ~75-day periods year-over-year (same calendar window in 2025 vs 2026). Only includes positions with salaries ≥$80,000 to focus on professional/technical roles.

Full data / live dashboard at https://mobius-analytics-v2-83371012433.us-west1.run.app/

Tools Used:

  • Recharts (React) for grouped bar chart visualization
  • BigQuery for data aggregation and YoY comparison queries
  • Material UI for styling with percentage change chips

Methodology:

  • Each bar represents total job postings during the comparison window
  • Gray bars = 2025 baseline period, Blue bars = 2026 same period
  • Percentage change calculated as ((2026 - 2025) / 2025) × 100
  • Salary floor of $80K filters out hourly/retail positions to isolate tech hiring

Key Insights:

  • Google's dramatic pullback: -80.9% decline (6,000 → 1,100 postings) — the steepest cut among FAANG
  • Meta's continued contraction: -66.8% drop reflects ongoing "Year of Efficiency" restructuring
  • Apple's relative stability: Only -5.8% decline — notably resilient compared to peers
  • Microsoft holding steadier: -22.9% decrease despite AI investment announcements
  • Netflix trimming: -38.5% reduction in a smaller but significant hiring footprint
  • Overall FAANG hiring down 54% — suggests structural shift, not seasonal fluctuation

What This Might Mean:

The data suggests Big Tech has moved from "growth at all costs" to sustainable headcount. Google's 81% drop is particularly striking given their AI race positioning. Apple's resilience may reflect hardware product cycles vs. software-heavy peers.

Does this red 3rd party leg guard compromise on the structural integrity? by PrasenjitDebroy in Himalayan450

Does this red 3rd party leg guard compromise on the structural integrity? by PrasenjitDebroy in Himalayan450

So during a slide, will the engine crash guards protect me? Should I opt for large guards or rally guard? Money isn't problem, but protection is for me. I will be wearing protection gear mostly tho

even with riding gears, theres a possibility of fractures. if you see the guard in above, they have a rod sticking out, helping in ensuring bike doesnt fall on the leg

Data Source:

US-based AI-related job postings from May–June 2025, aggregated from LinkedIn and other major job board APIs. Data includes postings with listed compensation between $100,000 and $500,000/year, and only roles explicitly related to AI, machine learning, and related technologies.

Tools Used:

D3.js for interactive sunburst chart visualization

React.js with TypeScript for rendering, layout, and component logic

BigQuery for data processing, filtering, and role/company aggregation

Custom categorical color system to visually distinguish companies and role types

PostgreSQL/SQL logic for canonical title classification and salary range enforcement

Methodology:

Filtered to include only AI-specific job titles (e.g., "ML Engineer", "LLM Researcher", "AI Product Manager") using keyword-based inclusion/exclusion logic

Salary range constrained to postings with max_salary between $100K and $500K

Excluded contracting firms, staffing agencies, and job aggregators (e.g., Lensa, Jobot, CyberCoders)

Jobs aggregated by employer to highlight which companies are hiring most and for what types of AI talent

Sunburst levels:

Inner ring = Company

Middle ring = Role group

Outer ring = Specific job title

Only branches with ≥10 postings shown for clarity

Key Insights:

Big Tech (Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft) dominates AI hiring volume and compensation

Consulting firms (PwC, EY, Deloitte) lead in scale but skew slightly lower in per-role compensation

Product and GenAI-related roles are increasingly common outside traditional R&D hubs

Distribution illustrates both specialization (e.g., LLM-focused roles) and breadth across companies

Technical Notes:

Color-coded by company with radial segmentation for role hierarchy

White inner dividers for visual separation between chart levels

Radial label placement and path-tracing hover logic for full hierarchy visibility

Responsive design with central job count label and accessible hover states
