AI Doesn't Seem to be Contracting Market for Developers -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-17 03:15

1515 ET - Morgan Stanley's prediction that artificial-intelligence will support growth in developer seats rather than lead to a contraction seems to be playing out, analysts write in a note. Job posting trends appear to show resilient demand for developers, particularly mid-career and senior positions, compared to the broader labor market, they write. "As development becomes cheaper and faster, organizations are building more software, which helps offset pressure on headcount by expanding the number of projects that are economically viable," the analysts write. "Even against a backdrop of prominent layoffs, the underlying signals point to a broader and more leveraged developer base." (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
