We all saw the charts showing the number of employees if the past few years and that they just laid off the over hiring... No one remember during that time how we were lacking employees too? I know at my job which is not a sexy one, we were struggling to find new hire. We are still hiring... just as much as before.

That's where they are going. To the place that wanted them in the first place. All theses peoples didn't appear out of thin air (though for sure the amazing pay did pushed some to go to "bootcamp" or whatever, but that's been true for the past decade). It's the normal amount of workers that would have been hired otherwise.

In any other field, sure maybe there could be more workers than demands, but in tech, placement has been good and it won't change in a few years (as it takes a few years of school).

The only thing that may change is the pay expectation of theses workers, as the one that did the laid off are the one that were paying a pretty penny for theses jobs.
