The 'survey' which is referenced where 25% of respondents say it took 12+ months to find a new job only has 55 responses. 2 things worth noting:
- This is on Blind, which means respondents would have registered with an employer email address, so these are not entry-level candidates (unless they had an internship, or they registered their own domain name to sign up with)
- Since it's on Blind, there are likely more people focused on their next career move than if it was on, say, Hacker News, so people looking for a job are probably overrepresented in the 'dataset'. This is also skewed towards U.S. users (according to a site called 'semrush', 62% of Blind users are from the U.S.), and U.S. by many accounts is the country hit hardest by offshoring in the new remote-work landscape (since salaries there have been historically higher than anywhere else)
Not to say AI isn't a contributing factor, but I think the supposition in the article headline should be taken with a grain of salt
