The headline says "digital freelancers," so maybe it's talking primarily about small jobs that were being outsourced. A 21% decrease in regular job listings would be more concerning because of the amount of incorrect information and buggy software about to be created than job loss.

Well at least the buggy software will eventually generate more jobs because they need more hands fixing everything while AI can’t do it.
