Episode description

In this episode of "The Business of Tech," host Dave Sobel discusses the contradicting news of layoffs at tech giants Google, Amazon, and Microsoft amidst a booming U.S. job market. He also shares insights on Microsoft's new AI tool for sales and services, specifically designed for Salesforce and Dynamics 365 users. Additionally, Sobel highlights IBM's discovery of the audio jacking threat in voice call security. Sobel also touches on the strong growth of the U.S. labor market, with a substantial increase in jobs added in January and low unemployment rates.
