Jobs in the metaverse are declining, according to workplace researcher Revelio Labs.

New monthly job postings across all industries with “metaverse” in the title declined 81% between April and June, Revelio found, after surging in the months following Facebook’s rebranding last fall. The dropoff coincides with a broader pullback across the tech sector, which has prompted layoffs and hiring freezes, leaving workers from the Bay Area to Bangalore increasingly rattled.
