Nearly 40 percent of laid-off tech workers were able to find a job less than a month after they started searching, according to the survey of 2,550 U.S. residents during the six months ending in mid-October. During the same time frame, 83 percent of all laid-off workers were able to reenter the workforce within three months of beginning their job search.

“Despite the widespread layoffs, hiring freezes, and cost-cutting taking place in tech, many tech workers are finding reemployment remarkably quickly,” Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter, told the Journal. “They’re still the most sought-after workers with the most in-demand skills.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
