Method: 62 tech workforce announcements from live web research covering 2025–2026, collected through 2026-09-02. Figures are announced jobs or announced cuts as stated by each source, not realized hires or a net-employment measure; some announcements overlap in scope or may be revised. Source quality varies; location precision ranges from city to country, and lower-precision events are placed at regional centroids (dashed bases). The map is illustrative, not exhaustive — hiring and layoff totals are sums of these mapped records only and are not directly comparable.
