U.S. Technology Employment Falls by 43,000 From a Year Earlier

The source says the tech sector has been shrinking for more than two years, with the latest year-over-year decline described as larger than drops seen during the 2020 pandemic and 2008 financial crisis.

Fact Check
The only concrete provenance established in this run is that the Odaily item points to the Cointelegraph X post at https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/2041405726594150721. But neither that X post nor the user-provided X link could be fetched successfully, so the exact statement and any cited dataset remain unverified. Web searches using the claim text did not surface a clear primary source such as a BLS release, CompTIA report, or Janco report confirming that U.S. technology employment fell by 43,000 year over year, that the sector had been shrinking for more than two years, or that this drop exceeded declines during both the 2020 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. The BLS article "COVID-19 ends longest employment recovery and expansion in CES history" provides only general context that pandemic job losses were historically severe; it does not substantiate the claim's specific comparison. Because corroboration attempts were made but no authoritative primary evidence for the precise numbers and historical comparison was obtained, the appropriate assessment is insufficient_evidence.
