Why hiring a UI/UX Designer in United States is broken
142,985 tech workers laid off in 2026 YTD — yet 67,000 SWE openings (highest since early 2023) for AI-specialised roles
New H-1B $100,000 fee + wage-weighted selection ($97K min) blocks most outsource shops; in-house hiring is back
AI/ML engineer compensation up 20–30% YoY; general SWE pay still 15–25% below 2022 peaks
SOC 2 / HIPAA / ISO 27001 customer requirements add 6–12 weeks to any vendor selection
Contractor 1099 misclassification penalties under DoL ABC test = $1,000+ per worker per quarter
