There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

I'm pretty sure most of the growth comes from companies laying off useless COVID-epoch engineers. If you lose the dead weight, you climb up without ever gaining more profit. And IT companies hired the most during COVID — the rollback is logical and it has nothing to deal with AI.

But this theory is harder to grasp than the sweet "growth is coming soon". Personally, I don't see any signs of long-term recovery after 2022, the US gov. debt growth is unsustainable, and the global market falls apart i.e. GDP growth while real markets collapsing will just collapse the currency.
