Something seems fishy about the news reports on tech jobs

They always list the total number of people hired by tech companies. You often see"Amazon/Apple/Google hired X people this month" If you are a secretary, or doing building maintenance, you are not in a “tech job”, even if you do work for Google. A huge amount of Amazon’s employes are in distribution, and are not engineers or technicians.

Those companies like using contract workers for many of those position anyway, and those can be hired and fired without being reported to shareholders the same way direct his are.
