Why Bay Area tech layoffs aren’t raising recession fears — yet

The Bay Area tech sector has experienced layoffs from companies like Oracle, Meta, LinkedIn, and Cisco, but experts note the pace is slower than 2022.

Generous severance and a strong stock market provide temporary financial buffers, though challenges in specific tech sectors like AI and data centers may slow job recovery.
