“This category was down by 0.2% from May of 2024 to May of 2025, a tiny drop, but one made more notable by employment in general trending up 0.8% in the same time period.”
So it just dropped enough for the people deploying ai to realize it sucks and people are cheaper and better. Jeez media really likes to write the headline that keep the advertisers happy.
Actually most job growth has been in Healthcare, a field that is very resistant to AI right now. So if you remove that I think the trend is even less significant (and probably not anything that holds up to much scrutiny).

All of capitalism is keeping advertisers happy. Advertisers and shareholders.
Maybe we should switch to co-ops and employee-owned companies to fix that bullshit
