It is all due to outsourcing. AI/H1B isn't taking that much job. Unless government put penalties on outsourcing market isn't going to improve.

I'm seeing like 80% of software dev applications at my company are H1B/OPT, like thousands of candidates - and they're getting hired just because of the sheer numbers they drown everyone else out. So yes, they are 100% taking jobs. A lot of them. I can't comprehend how there are so many.

The market is K shaped.

The peope will wealth are doing well, the rest of the market is not.

There are only so many apps and goods that can be made for rich people/small subset of consumers.

I bet you will find that people working on investment ideas and finance tools which focus on wealth accumulation will be hiring.
