Facebook and MSFT.... well they can easily "get Green Jobs" - just like oil workers and coal workers are told.

Actually most of the people being laid off at tech companies are finding work quickly, often within a week or two, at other more traditional companies which need tech workers are were not able to attract them for the past several years (because the big 'glamor' companies were scooping them up.) I read these tale of one recent hire Facebook employee who had to beg for work, they hired her but had nothing for her to do!

Anyway, Ford, GE, QVC, Disney+, and tons of other 'old line' companies are hiring in the tech category, not to mention colleges & universities which need to beef up that segment of faculty.

It's the people without skills that are moving further down the socioeconomic ladder. As usual, I guess.
